* Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function'sBarry Warsaw2001-08-141-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | __dict__ attribute. Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary result in a TypeError. Note that getting it the first time magically initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always appear to be a dictionary (never None). Closes SF bug #446645.
* Insert omitted "the".Fred Drake2001-08-141-1/+1

* For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() functionFred Drake2001-08-111-17/+22
| | | | | | | | in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting attribute values. This closes SF bug #444707. Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.
* Add a note that the quoteattr() function is useful for HTML and SGMLFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+2
| | | | attributes as well.
* Added a warning about reference cycles and memory consumption to theFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+10

| | | | markup inconsistencies.
* Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support aFred Drake2001-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | get() method; just calling them is sufficient. (There was a get() method for this in an early version of the implementation.) Reported by Mats Wichmann.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.

| | | | | | | | | re.sub(). This closes SF bug #446136. Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described at all). Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.
