* Backport 1.61 (note, the actual deprecation is not backported since itRaymond Hettinger2002-10-051-3/+8
| | | | | | | could affect existing code; instead, the documentation of the deprecation is being backported to provide maximum advance notice): Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().

* Added a missing "|" in the grammar productions used in the reference manualFred Drake2002-04-301-7/+9
| | | | | | | (reported by François Pinard). Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions. Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention floor division in the relevant portion of the text.

* Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase theFred Drake2002-03-151-16/+14
| | | | | | level of predictability. This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably better than we had before. This closes SF bug #523117.

* The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather thanTim Peters2001-10-011-9/+12
| | | | | | try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and intuitive), leaving the other outcomes unspecified beyond consistency.
* Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;Fred Drake2001-07-061-92/+152
| | | | | this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking down details and definitions a little easier.
* Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding theFred Drake2001-06-231-2/+2

* Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".Guido van Rossum2001-04-201-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial, I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-) That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm about to check in next.

Hope this help, lele.
