* Fix whitespace in example of bad indentation: a comment indicated that oneFred Drake2001-12-111-8/+8
| | | | | | | line was not indented at all, so the example is no longer indented at all. All of the errors being shown remain. Typo: characteru --> character
* Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+2
| | | | with Python 2.2.
* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-071-6/+5
| | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?)
* Add a note to the description of the interaction between the softspaceFred Drake2001-12-051-9/+12
| | | | | | | attribute of file objects, the print statement, and other file operations. This closes SF bug #484857. Fix minor markup nits.

* Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebodyGuido van Rossum2001-12-041-2/+2
| | | | didn't use reswords.py, as the comment clearly states. :-(
* 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.

* When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and theFred Drake2001-10-241-3/+17
| | | | | | | | set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public names" that describes the use of __all__. This closes SF bug #473986. Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().
* Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate.Fred Drake2001-10-202-6/+6

* Fix typo reported by Michael Soulier.Fred Drake2001-10-181-1/+1

* Removed stray backslash (a typo -- my fault).Tim Peters2001-10-011-1/+1
|
* The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather thanTim Peters2001-10-011-9/+12
| | | | | | try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and intuitive), leaving the other outcomes unspecified beyond consistency.
* Refer to the objects which define __len__(), __*item__(), and __iter__()Fred Drake2001-10-011-17/+35
| | | | | | as container objects rather than as mapping objects (in the index entries). Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general, since that's how things have actually evolved.

* Docs for the PEP 264 changes.Michael W. Hudson2001-08-271-11/+23
|
* Add material about the "r" and "u" prefixes for string literals; shouldFred Drake2001-08-141-8/+14
| | | | | | | be reviewed for clarity. Work around a bogosity in the HTML version of the escape sequences table conversion.
* Add information about __floordiv__() and __truediv__() methods forFred Drake2001-08-141-5/+17
| | | | implementing numeric objects in Python.
* "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operatorsFred Drake2001-08-081-3/+3
| | | | | | and //= to the list of other delimiter tokens. I'll work on it again when it's not so late...
* User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functionsFred Drake2001-08-021-1/+2
| | | | as the callable, so use more flexible language.
* Explain that __init__() methods do not get to return values.Fred Drake2001-08-021-8/+9
|
* Removed unnecessary section "Unicode literals"; all the discussion isFred Drake2001-07-201-6/+1
| | | | | | | already present in the "String literals" section, including comments on the "u" prefix and the additional escape sequences used for Unicode. This relates to SF bug #442526.

* Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;Fred Drake2001-07-065-261/+410

|
* Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding theFred Drake2001-06-231-2/+2
