* Patch #1489771: update syntax rules in Python Reference Manual.Žiga Seilnacht2007-03-241-24/+162
| | | | | | | | Python 2.5 added support for explicit relative import statements and yield expressions, which were missing in the manual. Also fix grammar productions that used the names from the Grammar file, markup that broke the generated grammar.txt, and wrap some lines that broke the pdf output. Will backport.
* Bug #1501122: mention __gt__ &co in description of comparison order.Georg Brandl2006-06-141-2/+6

* PEP 308 implementation, including minor refdocs and some testcases. ItThomas Wouters2006-02-271-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week. The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is actually a slight incompatibility: >>> (x for x in lambda:0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: iteration over non-sequence changes into >>> (x for x in lambda: 0) File "<stdin>", line 1 (x for x in lambda: 0) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a bugfix ;)

* * Doc/ref/ref5.texGustavo Niemeyer2002-11-261-1/+1
| | | | Fixed minor bug preventing documentation compilation.
* Repaired inaccuracies in the % docs. In particular, we don't (and can't)Tim Peters2002-11-241-3/+14
| | | | | | | guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved. math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too. Bugfix candidate. Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.
* Update: Older versions of Python crashed when calling repr()Fred Drake2002-11-131-3/+5
| | | | | | (including the implied call using back-ticks) of a recursive object, but this is no longer the case. Reported by Manus Hand via email.

* Clarify deprecation of the floor div operator, modulo operator,Raymond Hettinger2002-10-111-5/+4
| | | | | | and divmod() function for complex numbers. Closes SF Bug 621708: Unclear deprecation.
* Modified presentation of the grammar for calls to be easier to readFred Drake2002-10-071-4/+5
| | | | | for both HTML and typeset renderings. Corresponds to revision 1.53.4.8 on the r22-maint branch.
* Minor English grammar correctionRaymond Hettinger2002-06-251-1/+1
|
* Simplify the production for argument list, making sure that itFred Drake2002-06-201-4/+4
| | | | | | actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else. Previously, it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary). This closes (again!) SF bug #493243.
* Played contortionist games with the argument_list production so itFred Drake2002-06-181-4/+4
| | | | | might be easier to understand. This relates to SF bug #493243, which will be closed.

* 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.
* Work around the problem of spaces after a "}" being dropped by LaTeX2HTML ifFred Drake2001-12-141-5/+5
