* | Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| | | | | free variable and is subject to those rules. | ||||
* | Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -1/+5 |
| | | | | function is enforced. | ||||
* | Remove the following restriction: | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -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 Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| | | | | Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError. | ||||
* | Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the | Fred Drake | 2002-03-15 | 1 | -40/+32 |
| | | | | | | level of predictability. This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably better than we had before. This closes SF bug #523117. | ||||
* | Update to use the notice environment so a multi-paragraph note can be | Fred Drake | 2001-12-14 | 1 | -2/+4 |
| | | | | appropriately marked. | ||||
* | Add a note about yield requiring a __future__ directive. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-12 | 1 | -0/+10 |
| | |||||
* | Clean up a sad sentence in the yield description. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-11 | 1 | -5/+5 |
| | |||||
* | Document generators and the yield statement, avoiding implementation details. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-11 | 1 | -0/+52 |
| | |||||
* | Add a note to the description of the interaction between the softspace | Fred Drake | 2001-12-05 | 1 | -9/+12 |
| | | | | | | | 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 the | Fred Drake | 2001-10-24 | 1 | -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 Drake | 2001-07-06 | 1 | -76/+106 |
| | | | | | this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking down details and definitions a little easier. | ||||
* | Remove some bogus trailing whitespace. | Fred Drake | 2001-06-23 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| | |||||
* | Fix minor markup nits. | Fred Drake | 2001-06-23 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | |||||
* | Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit. | Fred Drake | 2001-06-23 | 1 | -0/+12 |
| | |||||
* | Work around the conversion of ">>" and "<<" to guillemets. Reported by Ping. | Fred Drake | 2001-04-13 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | |||||
* | Note that assignments to __debug__ are illegal | Jeremy Hylton | 2001-03-23 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| | |||||
* | Do not refer to "sub-modules" since that is not a defined term. | Fred Drake | 2001-03-06 | 1 | -7/+8 |
| | |||||
* | Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegal | Jeremy Hylton | 2001-01-30 | 1 | -5/+0 |
| | | | | imports. It checks for them now. | ||||
* | Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef Lannert | Fred Drake | 2000-09-21 | 1 | -7/+8 |
| | | | | <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>. | ||||
* | Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>: | Fred Drake | 2000-09-12 | 1 | -0/+39 |
| | | | | | | Reference manual docs for augmented assignment. This closes SourceForge patch #101418. | ||||
* | Document "print >> None" | Barry Warsaw | 2000-08-29 | 1 | -3/+4 |
| | |||||
* | PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL. | Barry Warsaw | 2000-08-21 | 1 | -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 it | Thomas Wouters | 2000-08-19 | 1 | -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 import | Thomas Wouters | 2000-08-17 | 1 | -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 the | Thomas Wouters | 2000-07-16 | 1 | -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. | ||||
* | Typo: "This table table" -> "This table is" | Fred Drake | 2000-07-06 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | | | | Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>. | ||||
* | Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline | Greg Ward | 2000-04-27 | 1 | -1/+10 |
| | | | | in certain circumstances. (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.) | ||||
* | Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant | Fred Drake | 1999-04-14 | 1 | -29/+29 |
| | | | | | | <joakim.sernbrant@front.se>). Misc. small fixes to the logical markup. | ||||
* | Suggestion by Tim Peters clarifying what "before global" means. | Guido van Rossum | 1998-12-21 | 1 | -1/+2 |
| | | | | | (Also added an XXX comment requesting clarification of module initialization -- TBD later.) | ||||
* | Minor adjustments to a few index entries. | Fred Drake | 1998-11-25 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| | |||||
* | Fix encoding of \n in a couple of places (reported by Lorenzo | Fred Drake | 1998-10-01 | 1 | -11/+11 |
| | | | | M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>). | ||||
* | Describe what happens when ``raise C, x'' is called where C is a class | Guido van Rossum | 1998-08-25 | 1 | -7/+13 |
| | | | | and x is not an instance of C (nor of a class derived of C). | ||||
* | At least mark the URL to the Packages essay using \url. | Fred Drake | 1998-08-07 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | |||||
* | Make sure all chapters, sections, and subsections have a \label to give them | Fred Drake | 1998-07-28 | 1 | -14/+14 |
| | | | | semantic file names in the HTML. No more node#.html files! | ||||
* | Fix markup of an \indexiii --> only two parameters were given. | Fred Drake | 1998-07-24 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| | |||||
* | Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some | Guido van Rossum | 1998-07-24 | 1 | -83/+141 |
| | | | | | | | previously undocumented features. Packages and the import mechanism in general are still left undocumented. | ||||
* | Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I | Guido van Rossum | 1998-07-06 | 1 | -0/+38 |
| | | | | | | accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement! Added a paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key space of the dictionaries. Added some index entries. | ||||
* | Fix a bogus \code@...@ to be \code{...}. | Fred Drake | 1998-05-06 | 1 | -24/+23 |
| | | | | Normalize some other markup. | ||||
* | The Python Reference Manual. | Fred Drake | 1998-05-06 | 1 | -0/+512 |
| | |||||
* | Removed LaTeX version of reference manual. Added ref/ref.ps. | Guido van Rossum | 1996-10-22 | 1 | -512/+0 |
