* 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
| | | | | __setitem__(), and __delitem__(). Based on related comments from Barry Warsaw.
* Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:Fred Drake2000-07-111-8/+29
| | | | | | | | | | Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use of the __contains__() discipline. This patch also incorporates suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected paragraph (also from Fred). Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
* Typo: "This table table" -> "This table is"Fred Drake2000-07-061-1/+1
| | | | Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>.
* Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instancesFred Drake2000-06-281-9/+11
| | | | | | | | | are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by Andrew Dalke. In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are found via the underlying class.
* Fix markup error that hid a tilde character; reported long ago byFred Drake2000-06-151-1/+12
| | | | Carl Feynman <carlf@abinitio.com>.
* Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newlineGreg Ward2000-04-271-1/+10

| | | | | When refering to chapters, use \ref, don't hardcode the chapter number.
* Fixed some index entries.Fred Drake1999-05-101-36/+36
| | | | | | In the __coerce__ description, None should be returned if the conversion is *impossible*, not *possible*. Reported by Robert Kern <kernr@ncifcrf.gov>.

* Dictionaries are created using the "{...}" notation, not the "..."Fred Drake1999-02-231-13/+11
| | | | notation. Problem reported by Magnus L. Hetland <mlh@idt.ntnu.no>.
* 1. Clarify that immutability isn't entirely the same as unchangeableGuido van Rossum1999-02-231-2/+12
