* Fix suggested by Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it> to keep theFred Drake1998-07-081-1/+1
| | | | | large letter at the top of each index section with at least the first entry for that letter.
* In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument,Guido van Rossum1998-07-071-1/+1
| | | | change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:]. Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.
* Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup.Guido van Rossum1998-07-061-31/+44

* Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that IGuido van Rossum1998-07-061-0/+38
| | | | | | accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement! Added a paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key space of the dictionaries. Added some index entries.

* Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commandsFred Drake1998-07-011-29/+36
| | | | | | are in the appropriate sections. Some minor nits.
* Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.Andrew M. Kuchling1998-07-011-0/+202
| | | | | | | | The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the 'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
* Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods.Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-1/+14
|
* Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp".Fred Drake1998-06-301-56/+73
| | | | | | Use logical (& consistent) markup. Added a see-also section at the end.
* Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be).Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-1/+1
|
* Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too. Made x a \var in descr of pop. Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental. Also added pop to index.
* Documented the pop() method for lists.Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-4/+9
| | | | # The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly. Alas...
* Documented os.linesep (line separator).Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-0/+7
|
* As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(),Guido van Rossum1998-06-301-8/+6

* Document new default arg to groups() and new functions/methodsGuido van Rossum1998-06-291-6/+25
| | | | groupdict() and findall().
* Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files.Guido van Rossum1998-06-281-0/+7

* Now cmd is documented too.Guido van Rossum1998-06-281-0/+4

* Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modulesGuido van Rossum1998-06-284-0/+428
| | | | cmd, multifile and smtplib.
* Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). AlsoGuido van Rossum1998-06-271-6/+12
| | | | | | document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit() vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is obsolete.
* Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;Fred Drake1998-06-251-1/+1
| | | | it's already decribed that way in the description.
* Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving itFred Drake1998-06-223-10/+13
| | | | | | | to pypaper.sty. Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
* Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font,Fred Drake1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | like any other header.
* Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that theFred Drake1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | .dvi files are properly dependent on it.
* Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction betweenAndrew M. Kuchling1998-06-222-4/+6
| | | | | ^ and the pos argument to re.match(). Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
* There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- itGuido van Rossum1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works everywhere.
* Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudableGuido van Rossum1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type() builtin...
* eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't haveFred Drake1998-06-191-1/+0
| | | | the empty prompt.
* Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using).Fred Drake1998-06-191-14/+15
|
* Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned byGuido van Rossum1998-06-181-2/+3
| | | | locals().
* # Untabified the example :-(Guido van Rossum1998-06-171-2/+2
|
* Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a fileGuido van Rossum1998-06-171-12/+111
| | | | | | | | | keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else. Also documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a little example. # Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations # appear broken.
* Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent toGuido van Rossum1998-06-171-5/+1
| | | | | eval(raw_input(s)). The statement about breaking a long expression over multiple lines is no longer true.
* Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR.Guido van Rossum1998-06-161-2/+44
|
* Lots of changes to get this in sync with the Frame version.Guido van Rossum1998-06-151-50/+217
| | | | | Added raw strings, imaginary literals, assert and exec (!) keywords, a table about Resererved classes of identifiers, and more.

* Document the changes I just checked in.Guido van Rossum1998-06-101-8/+39
|
* Document several variables that were previously undocumented,Guido van Rossum1998-06-101-9/+35
| | | | | including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__. Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
* Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimerGuido van Rossum1998-06-091-4/+19
| | | | | (all with index entries!). Also update the list of functions that take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
