* Re-word the explanation of the in/not in operators for increased contentFred Drake2001-03-061-6/+14

* Sequence indexes are non-negative, not natural (0 is not a natural number).Fred Drake2001-02-221-32/+32
| | | | | | Reported by Daniel May <mayds@ecn.purdue.edu>. De-tabified everywhere.

|
* Minor markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-02-021-15/+13
| | | | | Move some index entries next to what they are referring to for better "targetting".

| | | | Clarify the handling of characters following backslashes in raw strings.
* __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longerFred Drake2001-01-041-8/+1
| | | | | | | | supported as of Python 2.1. We still need to have an entry for this since it is reasonable for users to want to understand existing code. This closes SF bug #122715.
* Document the NotImplemented object.Neil Schemenauer2001-01-041-0/+9
|
* Improve description of else clause of the try/except/else statement.Fred Drake2001-01-021-6/+11
| | | | This closes (again!) bug #127098.
* Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that itThomas Wouters2000-12-311-3/+5
| | | | | | | | doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the 'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the 'or continue' should be removed ;P Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

* Adjust explanation of operator precedence summary -- exponentiation groupsFred Drake2000-12-111-1/+2
| | | | | | from right to left! Closes bug #125391.
* Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):Fred Drake2000-12-071-3/+3
| | | | | sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
* Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should onlyFred Drake2000-12-071-0/+7
| | | | | implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular information being modelled.
* Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process.Fred Drake2000-11-221-1/+1
|
* Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the originalFred Drake2000-11-171-0/+6
| | | | | | | is encoded in u-LAW format. Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter <anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122273.
* Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:Fred Drake2000-09-211-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the "new" way of handling slicing. Additional explanation added by Fred Drake. This closes SourceForge patch #101388.
* Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef LannertFred Drake2000-09-211-7/+8

* Note that __getitem__() may receive a slice object as the index;Fred Drake2000-09-211-2/+3

* Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:Fred Drake2000-09-191-0/+10
| | | | | | | Document the __contains__() method. (Patch slightly modified by FLD.) This closes SourceForge patch #101387.

* Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:Fred Drake2000-09-121-0/+39

* add index entries for list comprehensionsSkip Montanaro2000-09-111-0/+2

* Document "print >> None"Barry Warsaw2000-08-291-3/+4

* Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which followsThomas Wouters2000-08-242-4/+11
| | | | shortly. Markup also needs checking.
* fix list comprehension discussion to use \keyword macro instead of simplySkip Montanaro2000-08-231-3/+4
| | | | quoting keywords.
* require list comprehensions to start with a for clauseSkip Montanaro2000-08-221-2/+3
|
* 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.
* Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will alsoFred Drake2000-08-181-2/+4
| | | | stand out more.
* 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.
* Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if thereThomas Wouters2000-08-171-9/+18
| | | | | | | | is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types. Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new behaviour.
* Fix error made in applying Thomas's patch.Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+1

* Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+2

* Change as suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>:Fred Drake2000-07-311-2/+3
| | | | | Create a hyperlink between the language reference and documentation for the built in functions.
* More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are theThomas Wouters2000-07-164-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Improve the descriptions of expected exceptions for __getitem__(),Fred Drake2000-07-131-4/+14
