* 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.

* Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which followsThomas Wouters2000-08-242-4/+11

* 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.

* Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+2
| | | | | Update the grammar to reflect the most recent changes to list comprehensions.

* 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

* Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (theFred Drake1999-07-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | new markup makes sense in context). These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have still been in there anyway.

* 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>.
