* Revise the description of time.clock() so that it correctly describes theFred Drake2001-07-161-5/+11

* SourceForge bug #437041:Fred Drake2001-06-291-8/+8
| | | | | Use a portable format in the example that creates a timestamp suitable for use in email, also updating it and the footnote from RFC 822 to RFC 2822.
* Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the timeFred Drake2001-04-191-0/+5
| | | | | used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1. Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.
* Fix markup typo in a {verbatim} environment (there should not be any!);Fred Drake2001-02-031-1/+1
| | | | caught by Eric Raymond.
* Instructive example for strftime(); how to generate RFC822 dates.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-281-0/+16

* Added warnings about platform vagaries to the strptime() documentation.Fred Drake2000-09-231-1/+9

* Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hopeThomas Wouters2000-07-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.
* Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTMLFred Drake2000-07-061-2/+2

|
* Noted by Guido:Fred Drake2000-04-051-7/+7
| | | | | Fixed up descriptions of altzone and timezone not to refer to the 0th meridian, which doesn't exist. Reference is now to UTC.

* Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previousFred Drake1998-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | checkin of myformat.sty. Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}" everywhere. Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

* (libtime.tex): Merged in changes from Tamito Kajiyama.Fred Drake1996-12-131-48/+45
| | | | | | | (For those watching Python CVS messages: I checked in all of Tamito's other changes, but the mail delivery failed since the subject line was too long. The patch Tamito sent for the documentation has been completely merged in.)
