* Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its argumentsFred Drake2002-06-201-28/+35
| | | | | are interpreted. This closes SF bug #532467.

* Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is aJeremy Hylton2002-04-011-3/+3
| | | | free variable and is subject to those rules.
* Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within aJeremy Hylton2002-04-011-1/+5
| | | | function is enforced.
* Remove the following restriction:Jeremy Hylton2002-04-011-4/+0
| | | | | | | Names bound by import statements may not occur in global statements in the same scope. Why not?
* Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable.Jeremy Hylton2002-04-011-2/+6
| | | | Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.
* Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase theFred Drake2002-03-151-40/+32
| | | | | | level of predictability. This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably better than we had before. This closes SF bug #523117.

| | | | | | | attribute of file objects, the print statement, and other file operations. This closes SF bug #484857. Fix minor markup nits.
* When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and theFred Drake2001-10-241-3/+17
| | | | | | | | set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public names" that describes the use of __all__. This closes SF bug #473986. Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().
* Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;Fred Drake2001-07-061-76/+106
| | | | | this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking down details and definitions a little easier.

|
* Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegalJeremy Hylton2001-01-301-5/+0
| | | | imports. It checks for them now.
* Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef LannertFred Drake2000-09-211-7/+8

* Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:Fred Drake2000-09-121-0/+39
| | | | | | Reference manual docs for augmented assignment. This closes SourceForge patch #101418.
* Document "print >> None"Barry Warsaw2000-08-291-3/+4
|
* PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL.Barry Warsaw2000-08-211-0/+12
| | | | | Document the extended print form. Fred, please double check the markup!
* Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does itThomas Wouters2000-08-191-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor appreciated!) Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right thing with the right nodes is harder.
* Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module importThomas Wouters2000-08-171-8/+12
| | | | | | | | name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word. There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly undocumented.
* More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are theThomas Wouters2000-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
