Documentation

The set docs tell us:

Note, the non-operator versions of union(), intersection(), difference(), symmetric_difference(), issubset(), and issuperset() methods will accept any iterable as an argument.

But the help(set.issubset) does not emphasize this. It only explains that it could test the inclusion relationship between two sets.

>>> help(set.issubset)
Help on method_descriptor:

issubset(...)
    Report whether another set contains this set.

# Actually, it could accept an iterable
>>> {'a'}.issubset('abc')
True

The same problem comes with the help(set.issuperset).
