Incorrect subchapter title for range object

[IvanKirpichnikov]

Documentation

The definition of range - function is incorrect. here
In fact, range is a class. Proof

[brianschubert]

Are you referring to section from the tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#the-range-function ?

If so, I agree the wording could be cleaned up. Similar changes have been made in the past, e.g. #81611

[IvanKirpichnikov]

Yes, I mean him. I forgot to leave a link

[IvanKirpichnikov]

in that case can i send a pull request with a fix? if so, won't that break the links to this article?

Yes, it will. But we can make a phantom section for that if needed using Sphinx labels. There will be two anchors but not necessarily linking to the same exact HTML node.

[sobolevn]

There are several classes in stdlib that are documented as functions. Like map, range, etc. This is done on purpose, because that's an API we want to support.

[picnixz]

Oh, then maybe it's fine to keep them as is. One could also say that the fact that map is a class is an implementation detail.

[sobolevn]

I agree, there should be a solid reason to change this.
