| | | | and such.
* 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().
* Backport 1.94:Raymond Hettinger2002-10-051-4/+4
| | | | | Clarified that the footnote applies to versions 1.5 and after instead of just version 1.5. Closes SF bug 577793.
* Backport 1.54 1.53 1.52 1.51 1.50 and 1.49:Raymond Hettinger2002-10-051-36/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its arguments are interpreted. This closes SF bug #532467. Fix Typo. Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a free variable and is subject to those rules. Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a function is enforced. Remove the following restriction: 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. Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.

* Add a note about "as" not being a keyword, though it has special meaningFred Drake2002-06-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | when used as part of the import statement. Note that both "as" and "None" becoming keywords in the future. Closes SF bug #553262.
* Backport Guido's changes from revision 1.89:Fred Drake2002-06-041-47/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally). Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise, because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more up-to-date information. Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same meaning as None. FLD: My modifications to Guido's markup are included from revision 1.90.
* Backport ver 1.88 correction noting that lists now support .__getitem__().Raymond Hettinger2002-05-131-4/+2
| | | | Closes SF bug 548874 and patch 552468.

* Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase theFred Drake2002-03-155-82/+76
| | | | | | level of predictability. This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably better than we had before. This closes SF bug #523117.

* Fix whitespace in example of bad indentation: a comment indicated that oneFred Drake2001-12-111-8/+8

* Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+2

* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-071-6/+5

* Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebodyGuido van Rossum2001-12-041-2/+2

* Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pairFred Drake2001-12-031-8/+1
| | | | | | of references that now state that these attributes have been removed, directing the reader to the dir() function. This closes SF bug #456420.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-283-11/+11
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
