* Change the treatment of positions returned by PEP293Walter Dörwald2003-01-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative positions are treated as being relative to the end of the input and out of bounds positions result in an IndexError. Also update the PEP and include an explanation of this in the documentation for codecs.register_error. Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position from the callback is negative *add* it to the size instead of substracting it. From SF patch #677429.
* SF bug #655271: Slightly modify locals() docRaymond Hettinger2003-01-041-1/+1

* Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of evalNeal Norwitz2002-12-171-1/+6
| | | | | | | | Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied into a globals dict passed to eval(). This wording (more or less) was suggested in bug report. It should probably be made clearer. Backport candidate.
* Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documentedNeal Norwitz2002-12-171-0/+78
| | | | | | | | Added doc for functions new to 2.2: classmethod property staticmethod super Taken from docstrings. Could use review. Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added. Backport candidate.
* Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple isWalter Dörwald2002-12-121-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.
* Added change note about returning a dictionary based on keywordFred Drake2002-11-231-0/+2
| | | | arguments.
* Patch #642500 with slight modifications: allow keyword arguments inJust van Rossum2002-11-231-14/+21

* Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argumentWalter Dörwald2002-11-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but returns a long object instead. This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115
* Update example for the type() function to use the currently acceptedFred Drake2002-11-011-2/+13
| | | | | | | preference of using "is" instead of "==" to compare types, use built-in names where available, and point to the isinstance() function. Closes SF bug #632196.
* Modify example to use string methods instead of the string module.Fred Drake2002-10-221-4/+2

* Clarify that len() of a Unicode string returns the number of storage units,Fred Drake2002-09-241-0/+4

* Fix typoRaymond Hettinger2002-09-041-1/+1
