|
* Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method andGuido van Rossum2002-08-062-9/+26

* Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote aboutTim Peters2002-08-011-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non- existent "builtin-in function sort()"). BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to advertise this <wink>.
* SF patch #581414: info reader bugFred Drake2002-07-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround. Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.
