* Fix peculiar (and ungrammatical) wording in an example program.Greg Ward2002-08-221-2/+2

* Give the section on PEP 263 a more meaningful title, so readers willFred Drake2002-08-221-1/+1
| | | | be able to locate this information without knowing the PEP number.
* Add a note that apply() is needed since the extended call syntax isFred Drake2002-08-221-0/+2
| | | | completely equivalent.
* Added a main() function and support to run this module as a script.Fred Drake2002-08-211-2/+14
| | | | Closes SF feature request #588768.
* Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define theFred Drake2002-08-211-8/+10
| | | | | | | order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or they may not be relevant to the request. Closes SF bug #596866.
* Replace all cases of "while 1" with "while True".Raymond Hettinger2002-08-211-7/+7
| | | | Though slightly slower, has better clarity and teaching value.
* Clarify the endpos argument to the rx.match() method.Fred Drake2002-08-201-2/+6
| | | | Closes SF bug #597177.
* Cover the sets module.Andrew M. Kuchling2002-08-201-0/+95
| | | | | (There's a link to PEP218; has PEP218 been updated to match the actual module implementation?)
* Create two subsections of the "Core Language Changes" section, becauseAndrew M. Kuchling2002-08-201-67/+104

* SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation ofGuido van Rossum2002-08-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a reference to the resulting string around; use the new function PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
* Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern ofRaymond Hettinger2002-08-191-0/+7
| | | | | | all operators having a counterpart in the operator module. Closes SF bug #577513.
* This is my patchMichael W. Hudson2002-08-154-24/+52
| | | | | | | | [ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab. Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
* Add 'in' changeAndrew M. Kuchling2002-08-151-3/+29
| | | | | Revise sentence Add two reminders
* Py_InitModule() and friends now accept NULL for the 'methods'Fred Drake2002-08-141-0/+9
| | | | | argument. This makes sense now that extension types can support __init__ directly rather than requiring function constructors.
* More updates describing FutureWarnings.Barry Warsaw2002-08-143-1/+13

* The auto-reply text for the python-docs address. This is not automaticallyFred Drake2002-08-121-0/+171

* Accomodate the packaging changes when we unpack into the dev/doc/ areaFred Drake2002-08-091-1/+2
| | | | on python.org.
* Lots of changes to the packaging of the documentation, all to keepFred Drake2002-08-092-42/+72
| | | | | | | | directories clean where the packages are unpacked. Each package now contains a single directory, Python-Docs-<version>/, which contains the files for that version of the documentation. Closes SF feature request #567576.

* Fix up some more markup problems.Fred Drake2002-08-071-8/+9

* Change the markup a bit more; the parameter was not marked as \var in theFred Drake2002-08-071-4/+8

* Added references to the email package.Fred Drake2002-08-063-2/+11

* Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method andGuido van Rossum2002-08-062-9/+26
