* 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.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.
* s/it/if/ in descriptions of spawn mode argument.Tim Peters2001-12-061-1/+1

* For ratecv, document that None should be the initial state argument (whenTim Peters2001-12-061-1/+2
| | | | | I was squashing spurious overflows in the implementation, I got hung up on this point).
* Re-enabled debugging prints in poplib & documented the set_debuglevel()Fred Drake2001-12-051-1/+9

* Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() methodFred Drake2001-12-051-0/+13
| | | | | that it does not guarantee that all data is sent. This closes SF patch #474307.

* Add a note that the rgbimg module is only built on 32-bit machines (promptedFred Drake2001-12-041-2/+5
| | | | | by a question to webmaster). Re-wrapped a long line.
* Update docs to reflect new compile() and compileFile()Jeremy Hylton2001-12-041-3/+18

* Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to commentsFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+2
| | | | | from Skip Montanaro. There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but that is low priority.
* Added documentation on the ScrolledText module.Fred Drake2001-12-031-0/+37

* Minor clarification of the zip() description, based on a comment sent toFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+1

* Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; thisFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+3
| | | | | can vary by platform and installation. Based on suggestion to python-docs.
* Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are notFred Drake2001-12-031-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mutable! We do not want to shock anyone. This closes SF bug #483805. Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not repeated in both the descriptions of mmap(). Also, only make sure the first description of mmap() appears in the index. The the index link is followed, the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good both will be visible. This avoids the problem that the index entry for the second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.
