* Add a little more verbiage about the bsddb module/package change. It'sSkip Montanaro2003-03-071-1/+8
| | | | | | clear from recent discussions on c.l.py that people are a bit confused about the differences between the old bsddb, the new bssdb, the bsddb3/PyBSDDB package and changes to file formats. Tried to clarify the issues.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my extended slice docs). I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of these checkins: revision 1.97 date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13; author: nnorwitz Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false. Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file. I've seen \constant{True} in other places. ---------------------------- revision 1.95 date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43; author: bwarsaw Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file() constructor, vetted by Barry. ---------------------------- revision 1.94 date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15; author: rhettinger Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod(). ---------------------------- revision 1.93 date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25; author: rhettinger Added missing index entries for mapping methods. Closes patch #548693. some checking may be in order.
* I thought it was common practice to check things compiled beforeMichael W. Hudson2003-03-051-5/+5
| | | | | | | checking them in? Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection (which does). I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to read OK on a quick skim.

* Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:Just van Rossum2003-03-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir() will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode argument. - And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII. - Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing the error and fall back to a byte string.) - Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex. - Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation. This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are supposed to.
