* SF bug #1067018: Obsolete info in Tutorial 9.1Raymond Hettinger2004-11-181-9/+0
| | | | | | Removed a section that is out of date after type/class unification. While there was still some validity, the paragraph offered more confusion that insight.
* SF bug #1067023: A small typoRaymond Hettinger2004-11-181-2/+2
| | | | Make a minor clarification between "written" and "displayed".
* - show how to use file.write() with a non-string valueFred Drake2004-11-021-1/+10

| | | | (Contributed by Nick Coghlan.)
* A number of list examples used 66.6, but I doubt there's any box on whichTim Peters2004-09-281-9/+9
| | | | | | repr(66.6) == "66.6", so doubt that the claimed output has ever been seen. Changed it to 66.25 everywhere, and manually verified that the new claimed output is correct.
* Raymond observed that sometimes it's better not to link modules, so I revertedJohannes Gijsbers2004-09-251-7/+6
| | | | part of my previous last changes.
* - Use itemize instead of plain-text '*' for marking up a list.Johannes Gijsbers2004-09-241-29/+27
| | | | - Add more ulink's to modules (this should probably become a standard macro).
* Tweak the wording. Improve examples. Make more brief.Raymond Hettinger2004-09-141-26/+15

* Patch #1025795: clarify language in Data Structures chapter of tutorial:Johannes Gijsbers2004-09-111-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | - Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well, intentional randomness). - Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on. - Minor language tweaks in the vicinity. Thanks Dima Dorfman!
* SF bug #1013760: Error in Chapter 4 of TutorialRaymond Hettinger2004-08-221-1/+1
| | | | Fit a nit.
* Minor improvements to the threading introduction:Raymond Hettinger2004-08-161-11/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Expand the example to show a join. * Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational thread. * Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches to synchonization. * Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter. This is a more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and in a section on extending and embedding.
