* Patch #1489771: update syntax rules in Python Reference Manual.Žiga Seilnacht2007-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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. (backport from rev. 54559)
* Duplicated description about the illegal continue usage can be found in ↵George Yoshida2006-05-121-5/+2
| | | | | | nearly the same place. They are same, so keep the original one and remove the later-added one.
* At first there were 6 steps, but one was removed after that.George Yoshida2006-05-121-1/+1

* Finish bringing SVN into line with latest version of PEP 343 by getting rid ↵Nick Coghlan2006-05-031-2/+2
| | | | of all remaining references to context objects that I could find. Without a __context__() method context objects no longer exist. Also get test_with working again, and adopt a suggestion from Neal for decimal.Context.get_manager()
* Get rid of __context__, per the latest changes to PEP 343 and python-devGuido van Rossum2006-05-021-8/+5
| | | | | | | | discussion. There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__: Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew usually likes to change himself.
* Patch #1479438: add \keyword markup for "with".Georg Brandl2006-04-301-2/+2

* Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to theNick Coghlan2006-04-251-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | terminology in the alpha 1 documentation. - "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition - the term "context specifier" goes away entirely - contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1: - the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the "context expression" in the language reference - the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare 'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context objects that already exist in various application domains (such as decimal.Context) - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the use of that decorator - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable. A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit: contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular context manager directly.
* Change PEP 343 related documentation to use the term context specifier ↵Nick Coghlan2006-04-241-5/+5

* Update with statement documentation to use same terminology as 2.5a1 ↵Nick Coghlan2006-04-231-7/+6

* PEP 343 -- the with-statement.Guido van Rossum2006-02-271-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido (with help from Neal). This still needs a __future__ statement added; Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect. There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make lltrace a static global).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order From the description: Changes in this patch: - Change Grammar/Grammar to require newlines between adjacent decorators. - Fix order of evaluation of decorators in the C (compile.c) and python (Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers - Add better order of evaluation check to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order) - Update the decorator documentation in the reference manual (improve description of evaluation order and update syntax description) and the comment: Used Brett's evaluation order (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html) (I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to talk to him)
