* A copy-and-paste job forget the "paste" half.Tim Peters2001-10-091-1/+1

* Allow the profiler's calibration constant to be specified in the constructorTim Peters2001-10-091-52/+32
| | | | | | | | call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl. Rewrote the calibration docs. Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant) per profile event just isn't a big deal.
* Fix minor cut-and-paste typo.Barry Warsaw2001-10-091-1/+1

* Update the documentation for the isinstance() function to reflect recentFred Drake2001-10-091-221/+226
| | | | | changes in the implementation. Indented all descriptions consistently.
* Add documentation for the MIMEAudio class/module, contributed byBarry Warsaw2001-10-091-0/+26
| | | | Anthony Baxter.
* Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*()Fred Drake2001-10-091-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | functions to include information about how they affect the operation of those functions when used as the "mode" parameter. This closes SF bug #468384. Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their security problem. These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime by Skip Montanaro.
* New markup: \note{...} and \warning{...}Fred Drake2001-10-094-0/+36
|
* Note that the values for Boolean options are case-insensitive.Fred Drake2001-10-091-2/+3
|
* Update the description of getboolean() to reflect the changes made byFred Drake2001-10-081-3/+5
| | | | SF patch #467580.
* Remove code and docs for the OldProfile and HotProfile classes: codeTim Peters2001-10-071-170/+23
| | | | | hasn't worked in years, docs were wrong, and they aren't interesting anymore regardless.
* Update the documentation to reflect the changes to ReferenceError.Fred Drake2001-10-062-1/+13
|
* Add documentation for the public API for weak reference objects.Fred Drake2001-10-051-1/+70
|
* 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.
* Add entry for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module.Fred Drake2001-09-281-0/+1

* 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
