I think should be

This has been fixed in the 2.4.1 doc released today
http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-mutable.html

(The old url with  /doc/current added no longer works for me).

Please close as 'fixed' if you can.

Ignore previous comment about 'old url'.  Did not 
notice 'www.python' versus 'doc.python'.  It seems 
that 'www.python.org/doc/current' and 'docs.python.org' are 
aliased prefixes leading to the 'current' docs.
