* Take a tour of hell's seedier neighborhoods to try to make winsound.Beep()Tim Peters2001-02-191-8/+7
| | | | | do something non-useless on Win9X boxes. WinME unknown to me. Someone with NT/2000 make sure it still works there!
* In the example showing the irrelevance of start columns, restore that theTim Peters2001-02-171-4/+4
| | | | start columns differ (editing had pushed them all into column 0).
* Add entries for the doctest documentation.Fred Drake2001-02-171-0/+1

* Make a variety of minor markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-02-171-33/+37
| | | | Close some environments so that this will actually format.
* SF patch #103808: doctest.py docsTim Peters2001-02-171-0/+428
| | | | | Checking in Moshe's patch after rewrapping some paragraphs (to consume fewer columns) and repairing that I/2.**J lost the I.

* Make some clarifications and corrections based on comments from Guido.Fred Drake2001-02-151-8/+10
| | | | | Fix a few markup nits. Work around a LaTeX2HTML nuisance.
* Add a note to Node.isSameNode() that it is based on the DOM Level 3 workingFred Drake2001-02-141-0/+6
| | | | draft. I'm not sure that's important, but Uche thinks it is.
* Updated to reflect the additional information and interfaces exported inFred Drake2001-02-141-5/+43
| | | | pyexpat.c revision 2.40.
* Reflect change in traceback format:Fred Drake2001-02-142-2/+2
| | | | "innermost last" --> "most recent call last"
* Fix two typosAndrew M. Kuchling2001-02-141-2/+2
|
* Update documentation for pyexpat (xml.parsers.expat), to reflect the newFred Drake2001-02-081-62/+274
| | | | support for Expat 1.95.*.
* Fix markup typo in a {verbatim} environment (there should not be any!);Fred Drake2001-02-031-1/+1
| | | | caught by Eric Raymond.
* Document Node.isSameNode().Fred Drake2001-02-031-0/+7
|
* Move the whrandom section back to the documented modules section; thisFred Drake2001-02-031-1/+1
| | | | gives people a chance to see the depracation notice.
* Revise the deprecation note for the whrandom module to be correct and aFred Drake2001-02-031-2/+6
| | | | little more formal.
* Adjustments to the text of the UnixMailbox description. AddedFred Drake2001-02-021-21/+31
| | | | | PortableUnixMailbox as a separate class as well (this also generates the right index entry).
* Move the whrandom entry to the "Obsolete Modules" appendix.Fred Drake2001-02-021-1/+1
|
* Minor markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-02-021-22/+26
|
* Added a warning at the top saying that user code should not use theFred Drake2001-02-021-0/+2
| | | | whrandom module directly.
* Fix some markup breakage that prevented formatting; re-wrapped a couple ofFred Drake2001-02-011-10/+10
| | | | wide paragraphs.
* Added entry for weakref documentation.Fred Drake2001-02-011-7/+11
| | | | | Moved commented-out entries for obsolete module to an appendix, still commented out.
* Documentation for the weakref module.Fred Drake2001-02-011-0/+227
|
* Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possibleTim Peters2001-02-011-14/+29
| | | | | | | | internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(), for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed() more than once there ...).
* Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:Barry Warsaw2001-01-311-9/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | - All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a callable used when new message instances are created by the next() methods. Defaults to the rfc822.Message class. - A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox. It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.
* Some rewriting of the "Internationalizing your programs and modules"Barry Warsaw2001-01-311-20/+41
| | | | subsection to include a discussion of the msgfmt.py program.
* More on noutrefresh() and scroll().Eric S. Raymond2001-01-291-2/+3
|
* updated to document use of sequences of two-element tuples as inputsSkip Montanaro2001-01-281-2/+7
|
* Adjust documentation for new.instance() to reflect that the secondFred Drake2001-01-281-3/+5
| | | | parameter may be omitted or None.
* Instructive example for strftime(); how to generate RFC822 dates.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-281-0/+16
|
* Emphasis that instantiating this class doesn't consume the message body.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-271-3/+3
| | | | Fix some unclear language in the description of the addrlist member.
* Fix a number of typos found by Guido.Fred Drake2001-01-261-4/+4
|
* Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations,Fred Drake2001-01-261-40/+109
| | | | | | primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!). This closes SF patch #103412.
* The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needsTim Peters2001-01-261-2/+48
| | | | examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated. Here they are.
* Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I usedFred Drake2001-01-253-9/+7
| | | | | | in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6. Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.
* Clarify winsound.beep docs, in response to c.l.py beep brouhahalet.Tim Peters2001-01-251-0/+5
|
* Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initializationTim Peters2001-01-251-8/+19
| | | | | | | got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).
* Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all theTim Peters2001-01-251-31/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.
* A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1

* Fixed a bug where \& was needed.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1
|
* Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf()Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-4/+38
| | | | function, based on an eyeballing of the code.
* Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of moduleTim Peters2001-01-241-21/+52
| | | | | | intro docs. *************** Fred: check my LaTeX! Also, the docs for whrandom should *************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.
* Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previousFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1
| | | | change to this file. Thanks, /F!
* Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings.Ka-Ping Yee2001-01-247-17/+17
| | | | Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.
* AttributeList --> NamedNodeMapFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | Since there is no such thing as an AttributeList, don't say "attributes" is one.
* new unicodedata functions (name, lookup)Fredrik Lundh2001-01-241-0/+13
|
* documented (new) optional doseq parameter to urlencode.Skip Montanaro2001-01-241-2/+4
