* Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: ModifyingGuido van Rossum2001-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | type.__module__ behavior. This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to put the correct description in a comment.

* Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changesFred Drake2001-12-072-49/+60

* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-072-7/+6
| | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?)
* Revise description of dumbdbm.open() to reflect that the flag argument isFred Drake2001-12-071-7/+7

* Describe the behavior of the read() method when the list of filenamesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+18
| | | | | | includes files that do not exist, explain the intended use of the interface, and show how to ensure an expected file really exists. This closes SF bug #490399.

* Import the keyword module instead of relying on our own list ofGuido van Rossum2001-12-041-11/+2
| | | | reserved words. No longer need to import string.
* Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebodyGuido van Rossum2001-12-041-2/+2
| | | | didn't use reswords.py, as the comment clearly states. :-(
* Include a warning that scripts should not have the same name as standardFred Drake2001-12-041-13/+37
| | | | | | | modules, or the module cannot be properly imported. (Based on a suggestion sent to python-docs.) Update the displayed dir() of the sys and __builtin__ module with Python 2.2.
* Talk about str() in the discussion of string representations of values, andFred Drake2001-12-041-3/+26
| | | | | give examples for which str() and repr() yield different results. This closes SF bug #485446.
* Fix SF bug #479967: Appearantly I broke something that made the indexFred Drake2001-12-041-2/+10
| | | | | | insertion work. This fix makes things at least somewhat more explicit, and adds a little sanity checking (and verbosity!) to add_bbl_and_idx_dummy_commands().
* Add a note that the rgbimg module is only built on 32-bit machines (promptedFred Drake2001-12-041-2/+5
| | | | | by a question to webmaster). Re-wrapped a long line.
* Remove meaningless comment.Fred Drake2001-12-041-3/+0

* Update docs to reflect new compile() and compileFile()Jeremy Hylton2001-12-041-3/+18

* Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to commentsFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+2
| | | | | from Skip Montanaro. There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but that is low priority.
* Update lambda description to reflect nested scopes. This was noted byFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+2

* Add a scalar product to the example list comprehensions based on a suggestionFred Drake2001-12-031-0/+2
| | | | sent to python-docs.
* Minor clarification of the zip() description, based on a comment sent toFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+1
| | | | python-docs.
* Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; thisFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+3
| | | | | can vary by platform and installation. Based on suggestion to python-docs.
* Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are notFred Drake2001-12-031-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mutable! We do not want to shock anyone. This closes SF bug #483805. Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not repeated in both the descriptions of mmap(). Also, only make sure the first description of mmap() appears in the index. The the index link is followed, the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good both will be visible. This avoids the problem that the index entry for the second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.
* Clarify that the Python runtime may behave mysteriously when an exceptionFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+12
| | | | | is not handled properly. This closes SF bug #485153.
* Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pairFred Drake2001-12-034-20/+10
| | | | | | of references that now state that these attributes have been removed, directing the reader to the dir() function. This closes SF bug #456420.
* PyErr_Format() does not return a new reference; it always returns NULL.Fred Drake2001-12-031-7/+5
| | | | This closes SF bug #488387.
* Clean up some material that is not part of the standard documentation.Fred Drake2001-12-031-43/+7

* Add reference to the "String Methods" section to make that informationFred Drake2001-12-021-0/+3
| | | | | easier to find. Based on the comment from Steve Alexander on the zope-coders mailing list.
* Drop xmllib in favor of SAX.Fred Drake2001-11-301-21/+30
|
* Add a couple of entries to the whitespace-cleanups table.Fred Drake2001-11-301-0/+2
|
* Add description of tkCommonDialog.Fred Drake2001-11-301-0/+1
|
* Added two new conversion specifications.Fred Drake2001-11-301-0/+7
|
* Change the chapter title to reflect the Tk affinity.Fred Drake2001-11-301-5/+5
| | | | | Use the new seealso* environment in the section pointing out other GUI toolkits.
* Add a new environment in the Python docs markup: seealso*. This is similarFred Drake2001-11-303-11/+41
| | | | | | | | to seealso, but does not add the "See also:" header or put the content in a box in the HTML version. Updated the description of \seeurl to better indicate when it should be used; the old description was written before we had \seetitle.
