* Restore [] where default arguments are not keywordsHynek Schlawack2012-05-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Reverts some changes of a36666c52115. In the case of os's `mknod(filename[, mode=0600[, device=0]])`, I have nested the [] as setting mode doesn't require to set device (but setting device requires to set mode).

| | | | | Mostly just mechanical removal of []. In some rare cases I've pulled the default value up into the argument list.

Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording fixes by me. I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no stat/lstat system calls involved. I also extended Michal's breakout of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order. ........

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | os.kill takes one of two newly added signals, CTRL_C_EVENT and CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, or any integer value. The events are a special case which work with subprocess console applications which implement a special console control handler. Any other value but those two will cause os.kill to use TerminateProcess, outright killing the process. This change adds win_console_handler.py, which is a script to implement SetConsoleCtrlHandler and applicable handler function, using ctypes. subprocess also gets another attribute which is a necessary flag to creationflags in Popen in order to send the CTRL events.
