documentation - How to interpret python call signatures with nested lists -
i have been looking @ documentation python datetime library, , confused call signatures. example, datetime.timedelta
can called in following way
datetime.timedelta(10, 68400)
however, call signature documented as
datetime.timedelta([days[, seconds[, microseconds[, milliseconds[, minutes[, hours[, weeks]]]]]]])
i uncertain how interpret nested lists in call signature, , how relate ways in can call timedelta
.
there related answer here, , duplicate of question: what square brackets, "[]", mean in function/class documentation?
either can give options in order, example: timedelta(1, 2, 3) 1 day, 2 seconds , 3 microseconds, or specify arguments you're interested in: timedelta(days=1, microseconds=4) , allows put them in order, and/or omit options don't need.
edit: ok think answer: why python function docs include comma after bracket optional args?
