* 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?)

* 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.
* Minor change to an index entry.Fred Drake2002-04-231-1/+1

* Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described inGuido van Rossum2002-04-031-3/+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 Hylton2002-04-011-1/+1
|
* Restore a minimal definition of execution frame, since other parts ofJeremy Hylton2002-04-011-0/+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 Hylton2002-04-011-5/+5
|
* Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is aJeremy Hylton2002-04-011-3/+3
| | | | free variable and is subject to those rules.
* Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within aJeremy Hylton2002-04-011-1/+5
| | | | function is enforced.
* Remove the following restriction:Jeremy Hylton2002-04-011-4/+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 Hylton2002-04-011-2/+6
| | | | Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.
* Given lambda its own section, instead of burying it in boolean operators.Jeremy Hylton2002-04-011-30/+7

* Update / simplify Identifiers section for nested scopes.Jeremy Hylton2002-04-011-18/+2
| | | | How do I create a cross reference to section 4.1?
* Update docs for nested scopes.Jeremy Hylton2002-04-012-257/+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 Hylton2002-04-011-10/+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 Hylton2002-04-011-5/+3
| | | | | | func_closure is a readonly attribute. Add \ttindex{} for func_closure. Remove discussion of func_closure specific to 2.1.

* Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase theFred Drake2002-03-155-82/+76

* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-283-11/+11

These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
