* 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
| | | | This closes SF patch #460737.
* Add chroot call. Implements feature #459267.Martin v. Löwis2001-10-041-0/+6

* Update a couple of old addresses that point to CNRI.Fred Drake2001-10-042-9/+11
|
* Make clear that tuple() accepts the same kind of arguments as list().Tim Peters2001-10-041-1/+3
|
* Expand the documentation of the low-level tracing/profiling interface.Fred Drake2001-10-031-2/+23
| | | | This reflects what is currently in CVS, which may change before 2.2 is final.
* CVS patch [#466628] Doc changes for doctest patch (#466616), fromTim Peters2001-10-021-25/+2
| | | | Tim Hochberg. Doctest no longer searches imported objects.
* Fredrik tells me the truefalse parameter for boolean() is not part of theFred Drake2001-10-011-5/+3
| | | | public interface, so we can simplify the documentation.
* Removed stray backslash (a typo -- my fault).Tim Peters2001-10-011-1/+1
|
* The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather thanTim Peters2001-10-011-9/+12
| | | | | | try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and intuitive), leaving the other outcomes unspecified beyond consistency.
* "boolean" --> "Boolean" (per the style guide).Fred Drake2001-10-014-5/+5
|
* Fix some minor style-guide conformance bugs.Fred Drake2001-10-011-7/+8
|
* Straighten out some markup.Fred Drake2001-10-011-3/+4
| | | | "boolean" --> "Boolean" (per the style guide).
* Refer to the objects which define __len__(), __*item__(), and __iter__()Fred Drake2001-10-011-17/+35
| | | | | | as container objects rather than as mapping objects (in the index entries). Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general, since that's how things have actually evolved.
* Clarify comments about mailbox objects being iterable.Fred Drake2001-10-011-2/+3

* Docs for SF patch #462628Guido van Rossum2001-10-011-2/+8

* Patch #462122: add readline startup and pre_event hooks.Martin v. Löwis2001-09-301-0/+16
|
* Patch #462190, patch #464070: Support quoted printable in the binascii module.Martin v. Löwis2001-09-302-7/+33
| | | | Decode and encode underscores for header style encoding. Fixes bug #463996.
* The execfile() docs imply it acts on locals same as exec. But in truthTim Peters2001-09-301-0/+7
| | | | | it acts more like assigning to keys in locals(), i.e. modifications to function locals aren't reflected in the locals when execfile() returns.
* Correct docs for long(float).Tim Peters2001-09-301-2/+1
|
* SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.Tim Peters2001-09-301-0/+5
| | | | | | Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too. The real point is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too. That code was undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
* Handle PEP references the same way RFC references.Fred Drake2001-09-291-6/+5
|
* Fix two typos in the text about compile(), and add two caveats fromGuido van Rossum2001-09-291-2/+9
| | | | | recent user feedback: you must end the input with \n and you must use \n, not \r\n to represent line endings.
* forgot to mark use of StringType and UnicodeType in the text.Skip Montanaro2001-09-291-2/+3
|
* added description of StringTypes objectSkip Montanaro2001-09-291-0/+5
|
* Fix up whitespace in <args> elements; reduce sequences of consecutiveFred Drake2001-09-291-17/+15
| | | | | whitespace characters to a single space. Small changes elsewhere, mostly to clean up the code a little.
* Minor markup improvement.Fred Drake2001-09-291-2/+2
|
* The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That'sTim Peters2001-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!). Get closer to the truth.
* Move XML-RPC-related docs to the "Internet Protocols" chapter.Fred Drake2001-09-281-1/+2
| | | | Add entry for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module.

* Preliminary documentation for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module.Fred Drake2001-09-281-0/+69
|
* Minor additions and rewrites.Andrew M. Kuchling2001-09-281-9/+15
| | | | Bump version number.
* Convert to string methods.Fred Drake2001-09-281-36/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into the document element so it isn't left stranded. Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended. Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped in <para>...</para>.
* Use consistent version annotations instead of something ad hoc.Fred Drake2001-09-281-4/+7
|
* Convert most uses of the string module to string methods.Fred Drake2001-09-283-16/+15
| | | | (string.join() lives!)
* Added note about non-support of UNC paths on Windows.Fred Drake2001-09-282-1/+6
| | | | This fixes SF bug #465447.
* State that encode() and encodestring() append a newline to the input dataFred Drake2001-09-281-2/+7
| | | | | if it does not already end with a newline. This fixes SF bug #463330.
* Add entries for the email and compiler packages.Fred Drake2001-09-271-0/+10
|
* Markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-09-271-4/+5
|
* Added dependencies for the compiler and email packages.Fred Drake2001-09-271-0/+10
| | | | (Migrate to branch, along with new files compiler.tex and asttable.tex.)
* Migrate the compiler documentation from the Tools/compiler/doc/ directory.Fred Drake2001-09-272-0/+589
| | | | Changes made to make it work in the new location.
* Do not distinguish \refmodule from \module in the generated output;Fred Drake2001-09-271-1/+4
| | | | | | whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database. Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs (giving input an empty name).
* Re-write <ulink> elements as described in the conversion spec.Fred Drake2001-09-271-0/+19
|
* Turn \input, \include, and \verbatiminput into XInclude elements insteadFred Drake2001-09-272-10/+14
| | | | of something ad-hoc.
* Add support for some more markup that had slipped in.Fred Drake2001-09-271-2/+15
| | | | Fixed a typo in a comment.
* Fix some markup errors.Fred Drake2001-09-271-2/+2
|
* Markup adjustment: \[...\] is math markup and does not translate well whenFred Drake2001-09-271-6/+7
| | | | | | used with text as was done here. Fixed so that the typeset version wraps the warning text and the HTML version does not create images of the warning text.
* Remove comment that no longer applies.Fred Drake2001-09-261-3/+0

* Move the styling for the HTML version of \mailheader into the CSS file.Fred Drake2001-09-263-2/+3
| | | | | | In both the HTML and typeset versions of the documentation, add a colon after the name of a mail header so that it is more easily distinguished from other text.
