* os.walk(): Changed the "sum of bytes consumed by files" example to useTim Peters2004-11-221-1/+1
| | | | | | a generator expression instead of a listcomp. Not a backport candidate (genexps are new in 2.4).
* SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.Tim Peters2004-11-221-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with platform-dependent link convolutions. Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import. The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way. Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.
* Point out some platform vagaries in stat() and utime().Tim Peters2004-11-041-5/+19
| | | | | Bugfix candidate (the vagaries aren't new <wink>), but I don't intend to backport this.
* Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 andJohannes Gijsbers2004-10-111-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the following: On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed directly to the program without shell intervention (as with \function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell (as with \function{os.system()}).

|
* SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliabilityTim Peters2004-07-261-3/+12
| | | | | | Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv() docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).
