            Bug ID: 5566
           Summary: docs problem: hglib "Basic Usage" instruction isn't
                    correct
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: hglib
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: d.kaden at braemacca.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

The PythonHglib page, in section 4, "Basic Usage", contains this instruction:
     print commit.author

The result of that is this:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'author'

It seems that the instruction should be
     print client.tip().author


I'm using Python 2.7.3, Python Hglib version 2.4, and Windows 7.  I ran python,
and typed the text on the web page directly into the interpreter.
