* Emphasis that instantiating this class doesn't consume the message body.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-271-3/+3
| | | | Fix some unclear language in the description of the addrlist member.
* Fix a number of typos found by Guido.Fred Drake2001-01-261-4/+4

* Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations,Fred Drake2001-01-261-40/+109
| | | | | | primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!). This closes SF patch #103412.
* Typo: coplete --> completeFred Drake2001-01-261-1/+1

* Add bzip2 archives back to the set of generated archives; we had way tooFred Drake2001-01-251-3/+3
| | | | | | many reasonable requests to keep them around. Bump version number.
* Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I usedFred Drake2001-01-253-9/+7
| | | | | | in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6. Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.

* Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initializationTim Peters2001-01-251-8/+19
| | | | | | | got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).
* Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all theTim Peters2001-01-251-31/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.
* A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1

* Fixed a bug where \& was needed.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1

* Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf()Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-4/+38

* Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of moduleTim Peters2001-01-241-21/+52
| | | | | | intro docs. *************** Fred: check my LaTeX! Also, the docs for whrandom should *************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.
* Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previousFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1

* Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings.Ka-Ping Yee2001-01-248-31/+23
| | | | Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.
* Remove evil "sec:" prefix from some \label markups; this is bad forFred Drake2001-01-241-2/+2
| | | | filenames on Windows (& Mac?) platforms.
* AttributeList --> NamedNodeMapFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | Since there is no such thing as an AttributeList, don't say "attributes" is one.
* new unicodedata functions (name, lookup)Fredrik Lundh2001-01-241-0/+13

* documented (new) optional doseq parameter to urlencode.Skip Montanaro2001-01-241-2/+4

|
* Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee'sEric S. Raymond2001-01-231-4/+25
| | | | | | | | complaints. The new version moves most of its initialization to package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for Mozilla and Links. Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works and is documented. The open_new entry point and methods are marked "deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".
* Add introductory note about this article's draft statusAndrew M. Kuchling2001-01-231-14/+56

| | | | | Changed markup of the list of values for the list of meaningful "errors" values.
* Added dictionary.popitem() and the improved XML modules.Andrew M. Kuchling2001-01-221-18/+41
| | | | | | | | Reorder the smaller items, roughly in decreasing order of visibility to the Python coder Finished an incomplete sentence. Moved the unwritten sections down to the bottom. Bumped version number and added acknowledgements
* Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDFFred Drake2001-01-221-2/+3
| | | | | | hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the link start while still in vertical mode, which is not allowed. Including text before the link forces horizontal mode.
* Worked around bug SF #125880: changed the text of three sections thatFred Drake2001-01-221-3/+3
| | | | really nasty TeX source to "bleed" into the PDF "bookmarks".
* Clean up the docs for the "random" module according to comments from TimFred Drake2001-01-221-90/+71
| | | | | | Peters. This closes SF bug #125919.
* Add reference to PEP 232.Andrew M. Kuchling2001-01-221-7/+34
| | | | | | | Use correct flag name Py_TPFLAGS_CHECKTYPES Mention that numeric methods can return Py_NotImplemented (NAS) Mention optional arguments in time modules (TW) Various minor rewrites and additional attributions
* Remove the dollar sign from the formatting of environment variables --Fred Drake2001-01-221-3/+3
| | | | | too Unix-specific, and not really needed. (Already fixed the HTML formatting, but forgot to mention it in the checkin for python.perl 1.94.)

* Fix \seepep handling -- correct URL to the online PEP repository on SF isFred Drake2001-01-221-27/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | now generated. (SF bug #129692.) Patch from Anthon van der Neut <anthon@mnt.org>: Work around the removal of content-less paired tags used for name anchors in some places. (SF bug #116008.) Move some class attributes from an artificial SPAN element to otherwise "useful" elements that are being generated anyway. Added the class "versionnote", used for \deprecated, \versionadded, \versionchanged.
* Fill out various transcripts and XXX bits, thanks to the WMATA.Andrew M. Kuchling2001-01-221-18/+137
| | | | | | The only missing section is the Nested Scopes section, which has to wait to see if a patch is actually committed. (Plus any other notable changes that get made or backed out between now and 2.1final, of course...)
