* Add Tkinter threading changeAndrew M. Kuchling2002-12-131-3/+17
| | | | | Fix markup errors Rewrite a sentence
* Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup.Thomas Heller2002-12-121-10/+10

* Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.Thomas Heller2002-12-121-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably ugly, but this can be fixed later. Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should the MS docs reworded and repeated here?
* Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple isWalter Dörwald2002-12-122-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.
* Patch #651621, approved by MvL.Just van Rossum2002-12-121-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance: z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w") z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data) z.close() I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient for simple (but common) things. If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time, which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

* Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situationsSkip Montanaro2002-12-081-4/+34
| | | | | | | | this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
