* SF bug [#471111] inspect.getframeinfo() needs docs.Tim Peters2001-10-161-0/+6
| | | | TeX-ified its docstring.
* Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.Guido van Rossum2001-10-161-5/+4
| | | | | | This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1 for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I doubt anyone calls it.)
* [ #403753 ] zlib decompress; uncontrollable memory usageJeremy Hylton2001-10-161-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Mostly by Toby Dickenson and Titus Brown. Add an optional argument to a decompression object's decompress() method. The argument specifies the maximum length of the return value. If the uncompressed data exceeds this length, the excess data is stored as the unconsumed_tail attribute. (Not to be confused with unused_data, which is a separate issue.) Difference from SF patch: Default value for unconsumed_tail is "" rather than None. It's simpler if the attribute is always a string.
* Document required return values -1, 0, 1 for tp_compare handler, asGuido van Rossum2001-10-161-2/+11
| | | | suggested in SF patch #424475. Also document exception return.

* Added information about setprofile() and settrace() hooks being thread-Fred Drake2001-10-161-2/+9

* Fix thinko in a comment about seeking with a file object.Fred Drake2001-10-161-1/+1
| | | | Reported by Francesco Trentini.
* Added notes to clarify that binascii.crc32(), zlib.crc32(), andFred Drake2001-10-152-3/+9
| | | | zlib.adler32() are not suitable as general hash functions.
* Added documentation for the functions listed in marshal.h.Fred Drake2001-10-141-0/+80
| | | | Prompted by Jim Ahlstrom. This closes SF patch #470614.
* Add entries for the newly split C API manual.Fred Drake2001-10-121-1/+12

* Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manualFred Drake2001-10-1211-6136/+6171
| | | | | | | | has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs settings. Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.
* Document that keyfile and certfile are now optional.Jeremy Hylton2001-10-111-1/+1

| | | | | | | | call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl. Rewrote the calibration docs. Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant) per profile event just isn't a big deal.
* Fix minor cut-and-paste typo.Barry Warsaw2001-10-091-1/+1

* Update the documentation for the isinstance() function to reflect recentFred Drake2001-10-091-221/+226

* Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*()Fred Drake2001-10-091-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | functions to include information about how they affect the operation of those functions when used as the "mode" parameter. This closes SF bug #468384. Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their security problem. These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime by Skip Montanaro.

* A regexp example was rendered asTim Peters2001-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | foo\d when it was clearly intended to render as foo$ Fred, is this a right way to fix it? If not, the earlier place in the same paragraph that does render as foo$ is also wrong.
* Remove some long-unsupported Mac OS modules.Fred Drake2001-10-055-425/+0

* Expand the documentation of the low-level tracing/profiling interface.Fred Drake2001-10-031-2/+23

* Fredrik tells me the truefalse parameter for boolean() is not part of theFred Drake2001-10-011-5/+3

* The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather thanTim Peters2001-10-011-9/+12
