* _getframe(): New sys module function for getting at the stack frame.Barry Warsaw2000-12-061-0/+11
| | | | | Implements and closes SF patch #102106, with Guido's suggested documentation changes.
* Two typos caught by /F; thanks!Fred Drake2000-12-041-2/+2
|
* Added a comment for ContentHandler.characters() explaining how to migrateFred Drake2000-12-041-0/+8
| | | | SAX1 code to SAX2, based on bug #123695.
* Update Moshe Zadka's email address to one works and might last a while.Fred Drake2000-12-0124-24/+24
|
* Backing out my changes.Moshe Zadka2000-11-301-12/+0
| | | | Improved version coming soon to a Source Forge near you!
* Added .first{item,value,key}() to dictionaries.Moshe Zadka2000-11-301-0/+12
| | | | | Complete with docos and tests. OKed by Guido.
* Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary;Fred Drake2000-11-301-68/+43
| | | | | this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been used.
* Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contentsFred Drake2000-11-301-53/+49
| | | | | | | of return tuples. The bare \item took advantage of an implementation detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML. It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing list-like environment to contain them.
* Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentationFred Drake2000-11-291-0/+1
| | | | and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
* Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract APIFred Drake2000-11-292-364/+523
| | | | | | | | | is now separated from the supplied standard implementation. Not all interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do so. There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is coming into line.
* Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIOFred Drake2000-11-281-2/+14
| | | | modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.
* Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formattingFred Drake2000-11-281-1/+1
| | | | for the HTML version).
* Two minor nits.Fred Drake2000-11-281-3/+3
|
* Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process.Fred Drake2000-11-221-1/+1
|
* Document the new setupterm() functionAndrew M. Kuchling2000-11-181-0/+7
|
* Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added noteFred Drake2000-11-172-8/+14
| | | | | | | | about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of the optional radix argument for long(). Based on comments from Reuben Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #121672.
* Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, andFred Drake2000-11-171-34/+0
| | | | breaks things.
* Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the originalFred Drake2000-11-172-1/+37
| | | | | | | is encoded in u-LAW format. Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter <anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122273.
* Fixed typos and bug in the second example, reported by Scott SchramFred Drake2000-11-171-2/+3
| | | | | | <schram@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122236.
* Fix for SF bug 122176: Error in rotor module documentation.Tim Peters2000-11-141-2/+2
|
* Patch #102278: add tparm() function to _curses moduleAndrew M. Kuchling2000-11-071-0/+7
|
* Document the proper exception to be raised by I/O operations on closedFred Drake2000-11-061-15/+19
| | | | | | files; error reported by Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com>. Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.
* Typo: writeable --> writableFred Drake2000-11-011-2/+2
| | | | Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
* Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere,Fred Drake2000-10-291-47/+61
| | | | | | | | and to provide more consistent indexing. Added an index entry. Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
* Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from theFred Drake2000-10-261-1/+5
| | | | | | basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>. This closes bug #119485.
* Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should notFred Drake2000-10-251-1/+2
| | | | | document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is to affect normal users.
* Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string methodFred Drake2000-10-251-0/+1
| | | | was added in 2.0.
* Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documentingFred Drake2000-10-251-1/+21
| | | | getdefaultencoding() and setdefaultencoding().
* Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre LemburgFred Drake2000-10-251-123/+221
| | | | | | <mal@lemburg.com>. Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
* Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module.Fred Drake2000-10-241-0/+1
|
* Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>:Fred Drake2000-10-241-0/+614
| | | | | | | | | Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API. FLD: I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor details to Paul's text, but that's it. Given the substantial structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be making additional revisions over the next few days.
* Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()Fred Drake2000-10-231-1/+1
| | | | | | function. This closes bug #117467.
* Added missing entry for invert() function.Fred Drake2000-10-221-0/+60
| | | | | Added table mapping abstract operations to syntax to functions, based on a suggestion from Bob Weiner <weiner@beopen.com>.
* Capitalize first letter of an explanation for a \versionchangedFred Drake2000-10-191-1/+1
| | | | annotation.
* Document the .lastindex and .lastgroup attributes of MatchObjectAndrew M. Kuchling2000-10-181-0/+10
|
* Make all the \seemodule explanations consistent: start with a capitalizedFred Drake2000-10-1810-20/+27
| | | | | | letter and end with proper punctuation. "Documenting Python" will be updated accordingly so that this will be editorial policy for the Python documentation.
* Capitalize & use periods for \seemodule explanation parameter.Fred Drake2000-10-181-5/+5
|
* Update the links to the NumPy website and documentation, based on aFred Drake2000-10-171-6/+5

| | | | floating-point values.

* Added entries for new files of SAX documentation.Fred Drake2000-10-121-0/+3
|
* Massive addition of SAX documentation from Martin von LoewisFred Drake2000-10-124-3/+731
| | | | | | | | | <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>. Reorganized to be more like other parts of the documentation in its arrangement, but with few content changes. This closes SourceForge patch #101850.
* Document the exceptions that now get raised on invalid parameters.Fred Drake2000-10-111-2/+5
|
* Make sure methods of ZipFile objects are in alphabetical order; the logicalFred Drake2000-10-111-4/+4
| | | | | groupings are still maintained. Based on a comment by Steve Holden <sholden@holdenweb.com>.
* Fixed a large number of small problems, mostly noted by Detlef LannertFred Drake2000-10-109-30/+30
| | | | <lannert@lannert.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de>.
* Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficientFred Drake2000-10-101-18/+22
| | | | | | | | | than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>). Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means. Fixed a few markup nits.
* Revise the examples not to use the "from socket import *", and adjustFred Drake2000-10-101-5/+7
| | | | one comment in the example for clarity.
* Remove duplicated text from urlopen() description, noted by Ka-PingFred Drake2000-10-101-16/+0
| | | | Yee <ping@lfw.org> and probably others as well.
* Make it clear that copy_reg.pickle() should not be used for classes, butFred Drake2000-10-101-5/+6
| | | | | | only for extension types. This partially fixes SourceForge bug #116295.
* Fixed lots of small nits caught by Ka-Ping Yee <ping@lfw.org>.Fred Drake2000-10-1016-38/+40
