* Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which followsThomas Wouters2000-08-241-4/+7

* Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will alsoFred Drake2000-08-181-2/+4

* Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if thereThomas Wouters2000-08-171-9/+18
| | | | | | | | is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types. Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new behaviour.
* More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are theThomas Wouters2000-07-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers. Tip: review the patch like this: grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile> To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the changes are single-line ones, anyway.
* Improve the descriptions of expected exceptions for __getitem__(),Fred Drake2000-07-131-4/+14
| | | | | __setitem__(), and __delitem__(). Based on related comments from Barry Warsaw.
* Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instancesFred Drake2000-06-281-9/+11
| | | | | | | | | are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by Andrew Dalke. In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are found via the underlying class.
