* | Remove repeated index entry; adds nothing different. | Fred Drake | 2002-04-16 | 1 | -2/+1 | |
| | | | | Closes SF bug #518985. | |||||
* | Document __unicode__. Fixes #541245. | Martin v. Löwis | 2002-04-11 | 1 | -0/+7 | |
| | ||||||
* | Fix typo: coverted --> converted. Reported by Francois Pinard. | Fred Drake | 2002-04-09 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in | Guido van Rossum | 2002-04-03 | 1 | -3/+17 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True. (The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y) style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those places where a bool is expected. Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library modules to return False/True from predicates. | |||||
* | Change reference to execframes to naming. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Restore a minimal definition of execution frame, since other parts of | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -0/+6 | |
| | | | | | | | | the manual refer to it. XXX Not sure that it belongs in this section, or that the concept is particularly important for writing documentation. Perhaps references to the frame should be removed entirely. | |||||
* | Update programmer's note on nested functions. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -5/+5 | |
| | ||||||
* | Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -3/+3 | |
| | | | | free variable and is subject to those rules. | |||||
* | Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -1/+5 | |
| | | | | function is enforced. | |||||
* | Remove the following restriction: | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -4/+0 | |
| | | | | | | | 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. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -2/+6 | |
| | | | | Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError. | |||||
* | Given lambda its own section, instead of burying it in boolean operators. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -30/+7 | |
| | ||||||
* | Update / simplify Identifiers section for nested scopes. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -18/+2 | |
| | | | | How do I create a cross reference to section 4.1? | |||||
* | Update docs for nested scopes. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 2 | -257/+134 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace section 4.1 with section A.3. The new section 4.1 is titled "Naming and binding." It includes the text of section A.3 augmented with some of the detailed text from the old section 4.1. The \dfn, \index stuff is probably wrong, but I tried. Also update other parts of appendix A to mention that nested scopes and generators are standard features. | |||||
* | Update documentation of code objects. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -10/+15 | |
| | | | | | | | | Split the description of co_flags into two paragraphs. The first describes the flags that are used for non-future purposes, where CO_GENERATOR was added. The second describes __future__'s use of co_flags and mentions the only one currently meaningful, CO_FUTURE_DIVISION. | |||||
* | Small fixes for description of function attributes. | Jeremy Hylton | 2002-04-01 | 1 | -5/+3 | |
| | | | | | | func_closure is a readonly attribute. Add \ttindex{} for func_closure. Remove discussion of func_closure specific to 2.1. | |||||
* | Fix up unescaped tilde; reported by several people. | Fred Drake | 2002-03-18 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Markup error: braces not properly marked in dictionary display | Fred Drake | 2002-03-16 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | | | | | grammer productions. Fixes SF bug #520959. | |||||
* | Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the | Fred Drake | 2002-03-15 | 5 | -82/+76 | |
| | | | | | | level of predictability. This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably better than we had before. This closes SF bug #523117. | |||||
* | Typo: thsi -> this. Closes SF bug #521450. | Fred Drake | 2002-02-22 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Fix typo reported by François Pinard. | Fred Drake | 2002-01-21 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Added some missing index entries, noted by L. Peter Deutsch. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-27 | 1 | -0/+2 | |
| | | | | This should be included in Python 2.2.1. | |||||
* | Update to use the notice environment so a multi-paragraph note can be | Fred Drake | 2001-12-14 | 1 | -2/+4 | |
| | | | | appropriately marked. | |||||
* | Update information about __del__() & reference cycles for CPython. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-14 | 1 | -7/+18 | |
| | | | | | | | This partially fixes SF bug #492619. Fix a typo & use the new notice environment instead of (ab)using the \note and \warning macros. | |||||
* | Work around the problem of spaces after a "}" being dropped by LaTeX2HTML if | Fred Drake | 2001-12-14 | 1 | -5/+5 | |
| | | | | | they were represented by newlines in the document source. Partially fixes SF bug #493243. | |||||
* | Fix for | Michael W. Hudson | 2001-12-12 | 1 | -2/+45 | |
| | | | | [ #429329 ] actual-parameters *arg, **kws not doc'd | |||||
* | Add a note about yield requiring a __future__ directive. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-12 | 1 | -0/+10 | |
| | ||||||
* | Clean up a sad sentence in the yield description. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-11 | 1 | -5/+5 | |
| | ||||||
* | Document generators and the yield statement, avoiding implementation details. | Fred Drake | 2001-12-11 | 2 | -1/+65 | |
| | ||||||
* | Fix whitespace in example of bad indentation: a comment indicated that one | Fred Drake | 2001-12-11 | 1 | -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 changes | Fred Drake | 2001-12-07 | 1 | -0/+2 | |
| | | | | with Python 2.2. | |||||
* | Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2. | Guido van Rossum | 2001-12-07 | 1 | -6/+5 | |
| | | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?) | |||||
* | Add a note to the description of the interaction between the softspace | Fred Drake | 2001-12-05 | 1 | -9/+12 | |
| | | | | | | | attribute of file objects, the print statement, and other file operations. This closes SF bug #484857. Fix minor markup nits. | |||||
* | Import the keyword module instead of relying on our own list of | Guido van Rossum | 2001-12-04 | 1 | -11/+2 | |
| | | | | reserved words. No longer need to import string. | |||||
* | Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebody | Guido van Rossum | 2001-12-04 | 1 | -2/+2 | |
| | | | | didn't use reswords.py, as the comment clearly states. :-( | |||||
* | Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair | Fred Drake | 2001-12-03 | 1 | -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 no | Fred Drake | 2001-11-28 | 3 | -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. | |||||
* | Fred observes that the typo was not the only problem with this sentence. | Jeremy Hylton | 2001-11-14 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | typo | Jeremy Hylton | 2001-11-14 | 1 | -2/+2 | |
| | ||||||
* | When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and the | Fred Drake | 2001-10-24 | 1 | -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 Drake | 2001-10-20 | 2 | -6/+6 | |
| | ||||||
* | Fix typo reported by Michael Soulier. | Fred Drake | 2001-10-18 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | Removed stray backslash (a typo -- my fault). | Tim Peters | 2001-10-01 | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| | ||||||
* | The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather than | Tim Peters | 2001-10-01 | 1 | -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 Drake | 2001-10-01 | 1 | -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. | |||||
* | Fix minor usage and consistency nits. | Fred Drake | 2001-09-18 | 1 | -4/+5 | |
| | ||||||
* | Work around a LaTeX2HTML bug that caused the "m" in "mutable" to be dropped | Fred Drake | 2001-09-10 | 1 | -1/+1 | |

* | SF patch #455966: Allow leading 0 in float/imag literals. | Tim Peters | 2001-08-30 | 1 | -7/+7 | |
| | | | | Consequences for Jython still unknown (but raised on Jython-Dev). | |||||
* | Docs for the PEP 264 changes. | Michael W. Hudson | 2001-08-27 | 1 | -11/+23 | |
| | ||||||
* | Add material about the "r" and "u" prefixes for string literals; should | Fred Drake | 2001-08-14 | 1 | -8/+14 | |
| | | | | | | | be reviewed for clarity. Work around a bogosity in the HTML version of the escape sequences table conversion. |
