There is a minor error in the Python Library Reference
section 4.4.1 SequenceMatcher Objects. 

In the first paragraph it says
Passing None for b is equivalent to passing lambda x:
0; in other words, no elements are ignored.

This should read
Passing None for *isjunk* is equivalent to passing
lambda x: 0; in other words, no elements are ignored.
