| | | | | | used with text as was done here. Fixed so that the typeset version wraps the warning text and the HTML version does not create images of the warning text.

Broke up the displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example. This closes SF bug #453914.

| | | | | restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing output before the entire comparison is complete.
* Add a function to compute a class's method resolution order. This isTim Peters2001-09-221-1/+9
| | | | | | easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and different approaches are needed "depending". The function will allow later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.

* SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:Guido van Rossum2001-09-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, I put together a little function that tries to find the canonical filename for a given pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to turning it into a proper patch with documentation. On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are encountered in the path. Example: >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X') '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

* SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplibGuido van Rossum2001-09-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP over TLS) to the smtplib module: - A starttls() function - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
* Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profileFred Drake2001-09-131-8/+9
| | | | | | and trace functions; this now declares that None will be passed for the "call" event. This closes SF bug/suggestion #460315.
* Document clearly that the only way to retrieve the return code from theFred Drake2001-09-112-0/+13
