| | | | | | | | [ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

| | | | | | | guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved. math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too. Bugfix candidate. Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.
* Update: Older versions of Python crashed when calling repr()Fred Drake2002-11-131-3/+5
| | | | | | (including the implied call using back-ticks) of a recursive object, but this is no longer the case. Reported by Manus Hand via email.

* A few days ago, Guido said (in the thread "[Python-Dev] PythonMichael W. Hudson2002-07-191-0/+9
| | | | | | | | version of PySlice_GetIndicesEx"): > OK. Michael, if you want to check in indices(), go ahead. Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in. Here it is.

* Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its argumentsFred Drake2002-06-202-33/+39
| | | | | are interpreted. This closes SF bug #532467.
* Simplify the production for argument list, making sure that itFred Drake2002-06-201-4/+4
| | | | | | actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else. Previously, it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary). This closes (again!) SF bug #493243.
* SF 563530 added missing methods for emulating numeric typesRaymond Hettinger2002-06-201-1/+5
|
* 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.
* Played contortionist games with the argument_list production so itFred Drake2002-06-181-4/+4
| | | | | might be easier to understand. This relates to SF bug #493243, which will be closed.
* Typo.Michael W. Hudson2002-06-171-1/+1
|
* This is my nearly two year old patchMichael W. Hudson2002-06-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | [ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it. Includes docs & tests. The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays should support extended slices -- later.
* Fix up Guido's markup.Fred Drake2002-06-041-24/+24
|
* Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally).Guido van Rossum2002-06-031-46/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice. This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs (Fred?)
* Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().Raymond Hettinger2002-05-211-3/+8

* Closes SF patch: 552468.Raymond Hettinger2002-05-121-4/+2
| | | | Type class unification invalidated the statement: x.__getitem__[i] is not equivalent to x[i].
* Added a missing "|" in the grammar productions used in the reference manualFred Drake2002-04-301-7/+9
| | | | | | | (reported by François Pinard). Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions. Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention floor division in the relevant portion of the text.

* Adjust markup to worm around tool limitations; the "m" in "model" was beingFred Drake2002-04-171-1/+1

* Remove repeated index entry; adds nothing different.Fred Drake2002-04-161-2/+1
