* New restriction on pow(x, y, z): If z is not None, x and y must be ofTim Peters2001-09-031-6/+12

* Move the long minidom example to a separate file; \verbatiminput does theFred Drake2001-09-022-67/+66
| | | | | | right thing with page breaks in long examples, while the verbatim environment does not. This causes the example to wrap to the next page instead of overwriting the page footer and bottom margin.

| | | | This closes SF bug #457100.

|
* Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function'sBarry Warsaw2001-08-141-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | __dict__ attribute. Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary result in a TypeError. Note that getting it the first time magically initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always appear to be a dictionary (never None). Closes SF bug #446645.
* Insert omitted "the".Fred Drake2001-08-141-1/+1
|
* Add the smtpd module to the list of undocumented modules; Barry needs toFred Drake2001-08-141-0/+4

| | | | | | | Documentation for difflib/ndiff refactoring: more of the ndiff functionality has been moved to the underlying library (difflib). This closes SF patch #445413.
* For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() functionFred Drake2001-08-111-17/+22
| | | | | | | | in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting attribute values. This closes SF bug #444707. Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.
* Add a note that the quoteattr() function is useful for HTML and SGMLFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+2
| | | | attributes as well.
* Added a warning about reference cycles and memory consumption to theFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+10

* Apply the new \mailheader macro where appropriate, and fix a few smallFred Drake2001-08-035-54/+57
| | | | markup inconsistencies.
* Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support aFred Drake2001-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | get() method; just calling them is sufficient. (There was a get() method for this in an early version of the implementation.) Reported by Mats Wichmann.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.

| | | | Thanks to Nathaniel Gray for reporting the confusion.
* Added an example of a string value for the replacement parameter toFred Drake2001-08-011-44/+60
| | | | | | | | | re.sub(). This closes SF bug #446136. Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described at all). Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.
