I've seen this multiple times now in different python documents.

For example:

The above is from a website that I just saw today and the rest is code written in Django. I see this symbol being regularly used in different documentations.

  • Is it your IDE collapsing that section? Is it just a boilerplate documentation template, and it means “fill in the rest here”? – deceze Aug 13 '23 at 05:57
  • If it is the IDE then it should be clickable can you check that ? – Ahtisham Aug 13 '23 at 07:15

Nothing particular to my knowledge. When quoting someone, [...] is used, to mark a part of the original quote being left out. ... in shell, means navigating 3 steps to the top, folderwise. It's not a fixed convention in python docstrings, as far as I'm aware. https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/
