* gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS ↵Serhiy Storchaka2022-08-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | (GH-95527) If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can be used directly without changes in readability and behavior. It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack. This change does not affect Python examples.

* bpo-43689: improve documentation for Differ (GH-25132)Jürgen Gmach2022-05-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Lines beginning with ``?`` try to help understanding the given diff. The output can be hard to understand when it contains whitespace characters, such as spaces, tabs or line breaks. While previously only tabs were mentioned, now all are listed.

* [doc] Fix erroneous backslashes in signatures and names (GH-23658)Andre Delfino2020-12-171-3/+3
| | | | | The issue being resolved is shown in the 3.10 docs (if you select docs for older versions you won't see a visual glitch). The newer sphinx version that produces the 3.10 docs doesn't treat the backslash to escape things in some situations it previously did.
* Revert "Fix all Python Cookbook links (#22205)" (GH-22424)Andre Delfino2020-09-271-1/+1

* | #17445: difflib: add diff_bytes(), to compare bytes rather than strGreg Ward2015-04-211-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some applications (e.g. traditional Unix diff, version control systems) neither know nor care about the encodings of the files they are comparing. They are textual, but to the diff utility they are just bytes. This worked fine under Python 2, because all of the hardcoded strings in difflib.py are ASCII, so could safely be combined with old-style u'' strings. But it stopped working in 3.x. The solution is to use surrogate escapes for a lossless bytes->str->bytes roundtrip. That means {unified,context}_diff() can continue to just handle strings without worrying about bytes. Callers who have to deal with bytes will need to change to using diff_bytes(). Use case: Mercurial's test runner uses difflib to compare current hg output with known good output. But Mercurial's output is just bytes, since it can contain: * file contents (arbitrary unknown encoding) * filenames (arbitrary unknown encoding) * usernames and commit messages (usually UTF-8, but not guaranteed because old versions of Mercurial did not enforce it) * user messages (locale encoding) Since the output of any given hg command can include text in multiple encodings, it is hopeless to try to treat it as decodable Unicode text. It's just bytes, all the way down. This is an elaboration of a patch by Terry Reedy.

Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs. This is what the unix 'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow the 'standard' way of doing diffs. This improves compatibility with patch tools. The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff tools emit by default. Patch by Anatoly Techtonik. ........
