* New description for math.frexp() -- poor description noted byFred Drake2000-05-181-2/+6
| | | | Francois Pinard.
* The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mentionGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it conditional on HAVE_RINT.
* Added math.rint() -- round according to current IEEE754 modeGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+4

| | | | | | | | | The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading. Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>: Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more information about the subject of the module.

* Eric Raymond:Guido van Rossum2000-05-011-2/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | (1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error messages that track file and line number. (2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error leaders.
* Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to theBarry Warsaw2000-05-011-3/+6
