* [Apply SF patch #504943]Walter Dörwald2002-03-211-1/+7
| | | | | | This patch makes it possible to pass Warning instances as the first argument to warnings.warn. In this case the category argument will be ignored. The message text used will be str(warninginstance).

* Clarify that copy_reg.pickle() is not intended for use with "classic" classes.Fred Drake2002-03-191-3/+5
| | | | | | This was stated before, but a minor grammatical error made it difficult to be sure of the meaning. This closes SF bug #530143.

* "level" keyword argument in example should be "stacklevel".Fred Drake2002-03-121-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #517684.
* Change Windows file.truncate() to (a) restore the original file position,Tim Peters2002-03-121-13/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth. Beef up the file.truncate() docs. Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according to the Single Unix Spec).
* file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, byTim Peters2002-03-111-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I rejected. libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to say so. test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did. CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't run by default.

* Remove extra indenatation from sample interpreter session.Fred Drake2002-03-051-11/+11
| | | | | Remove whitespace from the middle of an inline RE example; it was OK for the typeset formats, but LaTeX2HTML is more touchy about this.

* SF bug #501591: dir() doc is oldTim Peters2002-02-231-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bugfix candidate. + Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior. + Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the latter is stable. + Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

* Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with LinuxTim Peters2002-02-011-6/+21
| | | | | | where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non- MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

* Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.Tim Peters2002-01-301-0/+11
| | | | | | | | NOTE: this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which platforms. I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on Windows that aren't. If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth, I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.
