* Wrapped some long lines.Fred Drake2000-07-051-34/+48
| | | | | | | Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table! (Not sure why.) Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the proper headers for a module.

* Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>:Fred Drake2000-07-031-36/+49
| | | | | | | | | This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to make it easier to test this feature. Along the way, it fixes a name error in the existing docs. [Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]

* Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs areAndrew M. Kuchling2000-05-231-188/+757
| | | | | | | now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly. Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.
* From Greg Ward <gward@python.net>:Fred Drake2000-05-231-2/+2
| | | | Typo: "dictionairy" --> "dictionary" (twice).
* New description for math.frexp() -- poor description noted byFred Drake2000-05-181-2/+6

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | 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.
