* Adjust the instructions for building large file support so that it worksFred Drake2002-01-101-6/+4
| | | | | | more cleanly (I think this supports more Linux systems; not sure). Barry Warsaw & Martin von Loewis actually agree on this! This closes SF patch #502023.
* backport Fred's 1.58:Anthony Baxter2002-01-101-0/+13
| | | | | Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() method that it does not guarantee that all data is sent.

|
* Describe the behavior of the read() method when the list of filenamesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+18
| | | | | | includes files that do not exist, explain the intended use of the interface, and show how to ensure an expected file really exists. This closes SF bug #490399.

| | | | | platforms now, and has since Python 2.0. This closes SF bug #482943.
* Typo: NamedNodeList --> NamedNodeMapFred Drake2001-10-251-1/+1
|

| | | | will no longer exist in 2.2.
* Remove lines that should never have been checked into thisFred Drake2001-08-091-9/+3
| | | | | | | | release21-maint branch; I checked them in erroneously in revision 1.52.4.1 of this file; it looks like that entire revision was operator error. This reverts that checkin and closes SF bug #449613.
* Remove some false statements.Fred Drake2001-07-191-4/+2
|
* Revise the description of time.clock() so that it correctly describes theFred Drake2001-07-161-4/+11

* Explain the exit code for the wait() method, including a reference toFred Drake2001-07-061-1/+6
| | | | | | the os.W*() functions used to interpret the return value. This fixes SF bug #429361.
* The fpectl module does not work on Windows, so remove Windows from theFred Drake2001-07-051-2/+2
| | | | | | \platform statement. Also fix a minor style consistency nit in an example.

* 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 the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family ofFred Drake2001-06-111-4/+7
| | | | | | | functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms. Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
* Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). AddedFred Drake2001-06-111-3/+11

* readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be eitherFred Drake2001-05-291-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | absolute or relative. remove(), rename() descriptions: Give more information about the cross- platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code. This closes SF patch #426598.
