* Marc-Andre Lemburg discovered that the switch from .pyc to .pyo files,Guido van Rossum1999-07-081-2/+2
| | | | | done by _PyImport_Init(), comes to late to affect the import of exceptions.py by _PyBuiltin_Init_2(). Move _PyImport_Init() up few lines.
* Several methods return tuples, not lists.Fred Drake1999-07-071-4/+5
|
* Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.Fred Drake1999-07-071-22/+22
| | | | | | Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line after the import line for clarity.
* FTP.dir(): Fix typo in docstring.Fred Drake1999-07-071-1/+1
|
* dir() method description revised based on comments from Greg Stein.Fred Drake1999-07-071-6/+7
|
* make_view_popups(): Catch import error which can occur if a viewer isBarry Warsaw1999-07-061-1/+7
| | | | | | dynamically imported when Pynche is running via askcolor out of a package. If the ImportError occurs, try again, prepending the package name and digging out the module.
* Missing space; reported by Robert Kern <kernr@ncifcrf.gov>.Fred Drake1999-07-061-1/+1

|
* For spawn*(), point to the magic constants; some readers have a hardFred Drake1999-07-021-2/+4
| | | | time finding the bindings.
* Milton L. Hankin reports that on Windows it is possible to have twoGuido van Rossum1999-07-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | different values in the environ dict with the same key (although he couldn't explain exactly how this came to be). Since getenv() uses the first one, Python should do too. (Some doubts about case sensitivity, but for now this at least seems the right thing to do regardless of platform.)
* Sjoerd Mullender:Guido van Rossum1999-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | In splithost, accept empty host part in URLs. This is required for file URLs that can have an empty host part. For such URLs, we should not return the initial 2 slashes as part of the file name.
* Removed entries for several modules which have been documented.Fred Drake1999-07-011-72/+55
| | | | Updated comments on several remaining modules.
* Documentation for dl module from Moshe.Fred Drake1999-07-011-0/+99
|
* Added entry for dl module.Fred Drake1999-07-012-0/+2
|
* Relocating file to Lib/lib-old.Fred Drake1999-07-013-218/+0
|
* Remove extraneous "contains" -- pointed out by Daniel BarclayFred Drake1999-07-011-1/+3
| | | | | | | <danielb@digitalfocus.com>. Added credit to Martin von Loewis for creating the module and documentation.
* Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functionsFred Drake1999-07-011-0/+14
| | | | | described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module level. He found this confusing.
* Make the reference to the os module in the module synopsis (for theFred Drake1999-07-011-1/+1
| | | | table at the front of the chapter) a hyperlink.
* Don't set type of application, it's taken care of elsewhere -- jvrJust van Rossum1999-06-301-2/+0
|
* Made several grammatical corrections based on comments from DanielFred Drake1999-06-301-10/+20
| | | | | | | | Barcla <danielb@digitalfocus.com>. Also added example of what happens when a parameter is set both positionally and by a keyword (one of Daniels suggestions related to that paragraph).
* For "Matching vs. Searching", remove comment that the section isFred Drake1999-06-291-8/+6
| | | | | incomplete; I don't remember what else I thought I was going to put in, but it looks o.k. to me know.
* Added some reminders.Fred Drake1999-06-291-2/+9
|
* Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numberingFred Drake1999-06-293-1/+2
| | | | | | | for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents. This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
* Added some minor prose before the descriptions of the data attributesFred Drake1999-06-291-5/+12
| | | | to make it clear that these are instance attributes, not module data.
* Added entry for pty module.Fred Drake1999-06-292-0/+2
|
* pty documentation from Moshe; with small edits.Fred Drake1999-06-291-0/+41
|
* Improve description of the example.Fred Drake1999-06-291-4/+9
|
* Usage nit: a bunch of "nor"s should have been a single "or".Fred Drake1999-06-291-5/+5
| | | | Make reference to the copy_reg module a hyperlink.
* Minor wording change in section title.Fred Drake1999-06-291-1/+1
|
* byteswap() method: Tell *what* exception gets raised when the typeFred Drake1999-06-291-2/+3
| | | | cannot be byteswapped.
* Remove unnecessary comma.Fred Drake1999-06-291-1/+1
|
* Define NotANumber as a subclass of ValueError when using class-basedFred Drake1999-06-291-2/+6
| | | | | | | exceptions. When raising NotANumber, pass the string that failed as the exception value.
* Comment out XXX comment; this needn't appear in the formattedFred Drake1999-06-291-1/+1
| | | | versions. XXX comments only need to be grep-able.
* Add note about not being able to use this module with modules notFred Drake1999-06-291-1/+3
| | | | implemented in Python.
* Moshe: Remove extraneous "and".Fred Drake1999-06-291-1/+1
|
* Added entries for mutex and nis modules.Fred Drake1999-06-272-0/+4
|
* NIS documentation from Moshe.Fred Drake1999-06-271-0/+48
|
* Mutex documentation from Moshe.Fred Drake1999-06-271-0/+57
|
* Separate documentation of SUNAUDIODEV from sunaudiodev; this mirrorsFred Drake1999-06-271-11/+24
