* Patch 520694: arraymodule.c improvements:Martin v. Löwis2002-03-011-11/+29
| | | | | | - make array.array a type - add Py_UNICODE arrays - support +=, *=
* Fix error in explanation of the interaction between $ and MULTILINE mode.Fred Drake2002-02-251-1/+1
| | | | Reported by Steve Alexander.
* SF bug #501591: dir() doc is oldTim Peters2002-02-231-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bugfix candidate. + Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior. + Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the latter is stable. + Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).
* Grammar tweak.Greg Ward2002-02-221-1/+1

* Use the standard expression for the availability statement for alarm().Fred Drake2002-02-151-2/+3
|
* note that the alarm function is not available on Windows.Skip Montanaro2002-02-151-4/+4

* The "%" character does not need to be escaped in verbatim environments.Fred Drake2002-02-151-3/+3
| | | | This closes SF bug #517811.
* Consistently use \textasciicircum to produce a ^ character.Fred Drake2002-02-141-18/+25
| | | | LaTeX really falls flat on this one!
* Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with LinuxTim Peters2002-02-011-6/+21
| | | | | | where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non- MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
* added handle_error method descriptionSkip Montanaro2002-01-311-0/+5
|
* Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.Tim Peters2002-01-301-0/+11
| | | | | | | | NOTE: this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which platforms. I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on Windows that aren't. If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth, I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.
* Document that get_referrers can return unreachable but uncollected objects.Martin v. Löwis2002-01-261-0/+7
| | | | Fixes #505453.
* Add keyword.kwlist to the public API.Fred Drake2002-01-241-1/+8
|
* There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument ofGuido van Rossum2002-01-151-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly general container. This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails for new classes This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
* Fix a simple typo. Has this to be fixed also in other branches?Thomas Heller2002-01-141-1/+1
|
* Add a per-message fallback mechanism for translations.Martin v. Löwis2002-01-111-12/+31
|
* Add fallback argument to translation(). Request fallbacks on install.Martin v. Löwis2002-01-111-2/+5
| | | | Fixes #500595.
* Do not mask the name of a built-in function in example code.Fred Drake2002-01-051-1/+1
| | | | Based on comment sent to python-docs.
* Fix indentation error in example from the Tkinter Life Preserver.Fred Drake2002-01-051-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #499505.

* SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous passwordGuido van Rossum2001-12-281-5/+2
| | | | | | Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password. This avoids privacy violations.
* Elaborate the descriptions for onecmd(), precmd(), and postcmd() so they areFred Drake2001-12-271-9/+20
| | | | useful.
* Fix wrongly-named formal parameters in three places: begin_y was used twiceFred Drake2001-12-261-76/+75
| | | | | | | | instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin(). Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss. Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly described in the index.
* Added index entries similar to some recommended by Skip, and used the wordFred Drake2001-12-261-8/+12
| | | | | | | "interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to find. This closes SF bug #487165. Bugfix: this should be applied for Python 2.2.1.
* More index entries.Fred Drake2001-12-262-1/+4
|
* Fix the erroneous availability annotation for s.makefile() from the lastFred Drake2001-12-221-5/+7
| | | | | checkin (my fault!). Wrap some long lines and fix some markup inconsistencies.
* Add notes that fromfd() and s.makefile() are Unix-specific.Fred Drake2001-12-211-12/+14
| | | | | | This fixes SF bug #495896. Fix up various markup consistency & style guide conformance nits.
* Add a reference to the signal module to the os.kill() description.Fred Drake2001-12-211-1/+3
| | | | This closes SF bug #495609.
* Fix typo in httplib example.Fred Drake2001-12-211-1/+1
| | | | This fixes SF bug #495221.
* Fix the availability statement for the spawn*() functions to reflect theFred Drake2001-12-201-2/+3
| | | | | actual availability on Windows. This fixes SF bug #495191.
* Re-commit Ping's patch to the cgi and cgitb documentation, using theFred Drake2001-12-202-51/+47
| | | | | right version this time. Thanks, Ping! (This was from SF patch #494582, "\index -> \indexii" version.)
* Add entry for the pydoc documentation.Fred Drake2001-12-181-0/+1

* Merge in Ping's changes to the cgitb documentation, and add a versionFred Drake2001-12-181-18/+40
| | | | | annotation as well. This closes SF patch #494582.
* Mark the mpz module deprecated as of Python 2.2.Fred Drake2001-12-161-0/+6

* Add a link to the mxNumber package.Fred Drake2001-12-151-0/+5
|
* Add link to the gmpy project.Fred Drake2001-12-151-0/+8
|
* Add a missing "cycle".Fred Drake2001-12-141-1/+1
|
* Ensure that complex() only accepts a string argument as the first arg,Fred Drake2001-12-131-3/+5
| | | | | and only if there is no second arg. This closes SF patch #479551.
* Minor adjustments.Fred Drake2001-12-131-7/+10
|
* Document that isleap() returns exactly 1 or 0, which is guaranteed by theFred Drake2001-12-121-3/+4
| | | | | | | | docstring. This closes SF bug #485794. Additional (very) small details were added.
* Update link to the SAX homepage.Fred Drake2001-12-101-1/+1
|
* Added documentation for str.decode().Fred Drake2001-12-101-0/+10
| | | | This closes SF bug #490823.
* Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: ModifyingGuido van Rossum2001-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | type.__module__ behavior. This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to put the correct description in a comment.
* Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changesFred Drake2001-12-071-49/+58
| | | | with Python 2.2.
* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-071-1/+1
| | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?)
* Revise description of dumbdbm.open() to reflect that the flag argument isFred Drake2001-12-071-7/+7
| | | | | ignored and that mode was ignored before Python 2.2. This closes SF bug #490098.
* 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.
