* Add change to int() and OverflowErrorAndrew M. Kuchling2002-11-201-9/+19

* Document additional error handling names available through PEP 293.Walter Dörwald2002-11-191-2/+6

* Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argumentWalter Dörwald2002-11-192-2/+5
| | | | | | | that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but returns a long object instead. This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115

* Improve comments. Clarify docs.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-181-11/+12
| | | | | Replace "type(0)" with "int". Replace "while 1" with "while True"
* Improve DictMixin.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-181-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination. Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__(). Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up. Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and to save redundant lookups. Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually work down to a mininum expected interface. Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

* Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which areThomas Heller2002-11-151-15/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch. I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help. I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a 2.2 bugfix candidate. There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst, I will document them after this is in.
* Correct typo: the option is 'formats' not 'format'.Thomas Heller2002-11-151-1/+1

* Squash an enormous number of warnings reported when adding "useFred Drake2002-11-151-128/+138
| | | | | | | | | | warnings;" to this, and keep the "use" statement this time. Fix an obscure bug that caused weird index entries to be generated in a few cases, and a minor problem with horizontal alignmetn of the last column of 5-column tables. [I'd report a SF bug #, but I can't get to that right now.]

* SF patch 637176: list.sort crasherTim Peters2002-11-121-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list *while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better than a core dump.
