* 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

* David Goodger <dgoodger@atsautomation.com>:Fred Drake2001-08-131-27/+240
| | | | | | | 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
| | | | | | section on functions which return stack frames. This closes SF bug #449258.

* Added documentation for the new rich comparison support.Fred Drake2001-08-101-73/+147
| | | | | | | | | This closes SF patch #428320. Added documentation for the new floordiv() and truediv() functions. This is part of SF bug #449093. Re-organized the listing of functions to get better logical grouping.

| | | | semantic labels instead of presentational markup.
* Add a comment on time.time() returning non-decreasing values except whenFred Drake2001-08-051-1/+3

| | | | This closes the SF bug (feature request) #439710.
* 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.
* Cleaned up the description of readline.set_completer().Fred Drake2001-08-011-4/+7
| | | | 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.
* Fix description of buffer_info(), and add a note that there is a betterFred Drake2001-08-011-6/+15
| | | | | | way... This closes SF bug #444842.

* Be more specific about corner cases in the description of the $ RE syntax,Fred Drake2001-07-231-4/+7
| | | | | | and include an example where the MULTILINE flag makes a real difference. This closes SF bug #441600.

* "Make small changes, but carry a big diff."Fred Drake2001-07-181-248/+247
| | | | | | | Minor local consistency adjustments. A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description. For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become hyperlinks in the HTML version.

* Fix a couple of minor markup nits.Fred Drake2001-07-171-5/+5
| | | | | Footnotes should be added *after* punctuation, not before. (Yes, this should be merged with the descr branch. Sorry, Tim!)
* Updated the documentation in several respects:Barry Warsaw2001-07-161-14/+46
