* More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are theThomas Wouters2000-07-165-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers. Tip: review the patch like this: grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile> To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the changes are single-line ones, anyway.
* Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hopeThomas Wouters2000-07-1661-92/+92
| | | | | | | | | SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.

* Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:Fred Drake2000-07-111-8/+29
| | | | | | | | | | Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use of the __contains__() discipline. This patch also incorporates suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected paragraph (also from Fred). Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
* Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadescFred Drake2000-07-111-21/+64
| | | | | | | | elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done elsewhere in the manual. I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
* Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to writeEric S. Raymond2000-07-101-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end for .ini editors as well as parsers. This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed. I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool. Documentation for the new entry points included.
