* When referring to namespaces, always say "namespaces" instead ofFred Drake2000-09-121-1/+1
| | | | | | "name spaces". Inconsistency noted by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
* Various clarifications and minor nits fixed. Affected descriptions ofFred Drake2000-09-091-7/+21
| | | | input(), locals(), reload(), unicode(), and zip().
* Small cleanups, and note when zip() entered the menagerie.Fred Drake2000-08-171-3/+1

* int() description: Fix markup to avoid image generation for math mode.Fred Drake2000-08-031-5/+6
| | | | | | zip() description: Fix broken markup, three small markup consistency nits, and one really minor usage nit. Introduce use of \moreargs instead of hardcoding "..." with \optional.
* Both PEP 201 Lockstep Iteration and SF patch #101030 have beenBarry Warsaw2000-08-031-0/+9
| | | | | | accepted by the BDFL. Added documentation for zip() builtin.
* Update version numbering from 1.6 to 2.0.Fred Drake2000-06-301-2/+2

* Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:Fred Drake2000-04-061-3/+20
| | | | Documentation for unichr(), unicode(), update for ord().
* Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter;Fred Drake2000-02-171-12/+16
| | | | | | | omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch. Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).
* Add index entries for open():Fred Drake1999-08-051-1/+4
| | | | | | | buffer size, I/O I/O control, buffering line-buffered I/O unbuffered I/O
* Update getattr() description to document the optional thirdFred Drake1999-07-221-5/+7
| | | | parameter. Thanks to Barry Warsaw for pointing out the oversight.
* Adjust indexing for __import__(); based on comments by Stefan FrankeFred Drake1999-06-101-12/+11
| | | | <sfranke@cdc-group.com>.
* Reflect recent patch for float % and divmod() by Tim Peters. ContentFred Drake1999-05-061-2/+6
| | | | updates by Tim Peters, markup by FLD.
* open() description: Made it more clear that 'b' should always beFred Drake1999-04-051-16/+21
| | | | | | | added to the mode value for binary files to improve portability. Fixed latex2html weirdness with a couple of footnotes.
* Document complex() with string arg.Guido van Rossum1999-03-251-2/+4
|
* Document new builtin buffer(). Greg Stein.Guido van Rossum1999-03-191-0/+10
|
* Add notes to __builtin__.float() and string.atof() that the NaN and InfFred Drake1999-02-181-7/+11
| | | | results are possible but non-portable.
* atof() description: Add information about accepting 'NaN' to produceFred Drake1999-02-181-6/+7
| | | | the NaN value.
* Replace the docs for reduce with an adaptation of its docstring, whichGuido van Rossum1999-01-061-8/+9
| | | | was actually clearer!
* "singed" --> "signed" (3 places)Fred Drake1998-12-071-3/+3
| | | | Noticed by Andrew MacIntyre <andymac@bullseye.apana.org.au>.
* Add explicit example on how to import a submodule of a package usingGuido van Rossum1998-12-041-0/+15
| | | | __import__ and getattr().
* Clarify that min and max also take multiple arguments.Guido van Rossum1998-11-251-6/+8
|
* Clarify the default buffering for open(). (Comment from Andrew DalkeFred Drake1998-11-021-1/+1
| | | | <dalke@bioreason.com>).
* Document that apply() can now take any sequence in argument 2.Barry Warsaw1998-10-011-2/+3
|
* round(): Mark the second (optional) parameter as optional, since it'sFred Drake1998-08-241-4/+4
| | | | | | described that way. setattr(): Clarify that the attribute doesn't need to exist to be set.
* New section header style.Fred Drake1998-08-101-2/+1
| | | | Fix up a few synopses.
* Clarify the + and b mode characters for open() a bit.Guido van Rossum1998-07-291-6/+8
|
* Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudableGuido van Rossum1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type() builtin...
* eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't haveFred Drake1998-06-191-1/+0
| | | | the empty prompt.
* Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned byGuido van Rossum1998-06-181-2/+3
| | | | locals().
* Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent toGuido van Rossum1998-06-171-5/+1
| | | | | eval(raw_input(s)). The statement about breaking a long expression over multiple lines is no longer true.
* Signature for dir() omitted the optional argument.Fred Drake1998-04-161-1/+1
|
* Small nits.Fred Drake1998-04-031-6/+6
| | | | | | One more index entry. Be more specific about an exception raised by range().
* Removed reference to ni module.Fred Drake1998-04-021-2/+1
|
* Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,Fred Drake1998-03-171-20/+20
| | | | | works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty macros.
* Logical markup.Fred Drake1998-03-031-87/+87
|
* In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for longFred Drake1998-02-131-5/+6
| | | | | \code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap. This keeps it from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
* Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previousFred Drake1998-02-131-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | checkin of myformat.sty. Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}" everywhere. Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
* Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"Fred Drake1998-01-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | "{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}" Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}". Leaving it for now.
* Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() toFred Drake1998-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType. In example for type().
* Correct small nits reported by Rob Hooft.Guido van Rossum1997-12-301-14/+14
|
* Added a named target for referencing.Fred Drake1997-12-161-0/+1
|
* Fixed index references to modules.Fred Drake1997-12-151-6/+6
|
* Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object.Guido van Rossum1997-12-021-3/+5
|
* Documented __import__, callable, isinstance, issubclass,Guido van Rossum1997-10-051-5/+83
| | | | and slice.
* AMK's megapatch:Guido van Rossum1997-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | * \bcode, \ecode added everywhere * \label{module-foo} added everywhere * A few \seealso sections added. * Indentation fixed inside verbatim in lib*tex files
* Mention abs(complex) -> magnitude (AMK).Guido van Rossum1997-06-021-3/+18
| | | | | Documented list(). Mention [raw_]input()'s interface to GNU readline.
* Add complex().Guido van Rossum1997-04-021-5/+30
| | | | Update int(), long(), float() to support string conversions.
