* fix_font(): Instead of using a long if/elsif cluster, use a bloodyFred Drake2001-08-161-23/+16
| | | | | dictionary. Added some entries to the dictionary to fix part of SF bug #451556.
* Fix typo reported by Joonas Paalasmaa: dada-->dataFred Drake2001-08-161-1/+1
|
* Re-write the description of the os.spawn*() functions, and cover theFred Drake2001-08-161-17/+51
| | | | | | | whole family instead of just two. This closes SF bug #451630.
* Patch #427190: Implement and use METH_NOARGS and METH_O.Martin v. Löwis2001-08-161-0/+62

* A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slotsFred Drake2001-08-151-6/+385
| | | | | | | | | in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots. Thanks! (But there is still a lot more to write on this topic.) Markup and organizational changes by your friendly neighborhood documentation czar.
* Dave Kuhlman has contributed a nice improvement to the "Defining New Types"Fred Drake2001-08-151-0/+1
| | | | section of the Extending & Embedding manual -- thanks!
* Note addition of cleanfuture.pyAndrew M. Kuchling2001-08-151-0/+6

* Fix a minor typo and mark an exception name that was missed.Fred Drake2001-08-141-1/+1
|
* Add material about the "r" and "u" prefixes for string literals; shouldFred Drake2001-08-141-8/+14
| | | | | | | be reviewed for clarity. Work around a bogosity in the HTML version of the escape sequences table conversion.
* Added some examples of table markup.Fred Drake2001-08-141-0/+71
|
* Add information about __floordiv__() and __truediv__() methods forFred Drake2001-08-141-5/+17
| | | | implementing numeric objects in Python.
* Clarify the prompt in an example.Fred Drake2001-08-141-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #450633.
* Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function'sBarry Warsaw2001-08-141-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | __dict__ attribute. Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary result in a TypeError. Note that getting it the first time magically initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always appear to be a dictionary (never None). Closes SF bug #446645.
* Add "exceptions" to the list of fundamental modulesFred Drake2001-08-141-3/+3
| | | | | | created by Py_Initialize(). This closes SF bug #450621.
* Insert omitted "the".Fred Drake2001-08-141-1/+1
|
* Add the smtpd module to the list of undocumented modules; Barry needs toFred Drake2001-08-141-0/+4
| | | | write the documentation for this module.
* David Goodger <dgoodger@atsautomation.com>:Fred Drake2001-08-131-27/+240
| | | | | | | Documentation for difflib/ndiff refactoring: more of the ndiff functionality has been moved to the underlying library (difflib). This closes SF patch #445413.
* For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() functionFred Drake2001-08-111-17/+22
| | | | | | | | in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting attribute values. This closes SF bug #444707. Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.
* Add section on PEP 238 changesAndrew M. Kuchling2001-08-111-10/+84
| | | | Minor grammatical changes, reformattings, and an error fix from Keith Briggs
* Add a note that the quoteattr() function is useful for HTML and SGMLFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+2
| | | | attributes as well.
* Added documentation for PyDict_Update() and PyDict_Merge().Fred Drake2001-08-101-1/+19
|
* Do more to be compatible with Windows/CygWin. Make error messages moreFred Drake2001-08-101-2/+14
| | | | | | informative when a child process dies with an error. This is a variation of parts of SF patch #429611.
* Remove the use of the "cat" program. This improves portability to non-UnixFred Drake2001-08-101-1/+5
| | | | | | platforms. This is part the response to SF patch #429611.
* Added this LaTeX style file to the package since not all LaTeX installationsFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+329
| | | | | | | have it, especially on non-Unix platforms. (MikTeX in particular does not have it.) This is part of the response to SF patch #429611.
* Added a warning about reference cycles and memory consumption to theFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+10
| | | | | | section on functions which return stack frames. This closes SF bug #449258.
* Usage fix, problem reported by Keith Briggs.Fred Drake2001-08-101-1/+1
|
* Added documentation for the new rich comparison support.Fred Drake2001-08-101-73/+147
| | | | | | | | | This closes SF patch #428320. Added documentation for the new floordiv() and truediv() functions. This is part of SF bug #449093. Re-organized the listing of functions to get better logical grouping.
* Remove the bogus flags parameter from the PyFile_WriteString() signature;Fred Drake2001-08-101-2/+1
| | | | | | it has no such parameter. This closes SF bug #449761.
* Expose nl_langinfo through locale where available.Martin v. Löwis2001-08-101-0/+119
|
* Patch #448474: Add support for tell() and seek() to gzip.GzipFile.Martin v. Löwis2001-08-091-2/+2
|
* Added documentation for PyNumber_*FloorDivide(), PyNumber_*TrueDivide(),Fred Drake2001-08-081-48/+138
| | | | | | | PyInterpreterState_*Head(), PyInterpreterState_Next(), and PyThreadState_Next(). Wrapped some long lines, added some others.
* Reference counting information for PyNumber_*FloorDivide() andFred Drake2001-08-081-0/+16
| | | | PyNumber_*TrueDivide().
* Add option to push the development docs to SF without announcing, forFred Drake2001-08-081-2/+9
| | | | when the changes are just too small.
* More names....Fred Drake2001-08-081-0/+2
|
* Clean up some of the markup here -- be more consistent in the use ofFred Drake2001-08-081-9/+9
| | | | semantic labels instead of presentational markup.
* "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operatorsFred Drake2001-08-081-3/+3
| | | | | | and //= to the list of other delimiter tokens. I'll work on it again when it's not so late...
* Document two new itemsAndrew M. Kuchling2001-08-071-9/+21
| | | | | Correct error noticed by Keith Briggs Re-indent a paragraph
* Add a comment on time.time() returning non-decreasing values except whenFred Drake2001-08-051-1/+3
| | | | | | the clock is set back. This closes SF bug #447945.
* Document IPv6 changes. Contributed by itojun.Martin v. Löwis2001-08-042-29/+206
|
* Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributedFred Drake2001-08-042-1/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | by Albert Hofkamp. Some editing has been done for style and markup consistency. This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well. (The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would format properly.)
* Note that the mimetypes.MimeTypes class was added in Python 2.2.Fred Drake2001-08-041-0/+2
|
* Add documentation for the new aspects of the mimetypes module.Fred Drake2001-08-031-1/+70
| | | | This closes the SF bug (feature request) #439710.
* Apply the new \mailheader macro where appropriate, and fix a few smallFred Drake2001-08-035-54/+57
| | | | markup inconsistencies.
* Define the \mailheader macro and document conventions for using it.Fred Drake2001-08-033-0/+14
|
* Minor markup nits and slight style-guide conformance changes.Fred Drake2001-08-031-8/+9
|
* Documented the runtimemodel attribute.Jack Jansen2001-08-031-0/+6
|
* Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support aFred Drake2001-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | get() method; just calling them is sufficient. (There was a get() method for this in an early version of the implementation.) Reported by Mats Wichmann.
* User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functionsFred Drake2001-08-021-1/+2
| | | | as the callable, so use more flexible language.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
* Move away from apply() to using extended call syntax for some exampleFred Drake2001-08-021-3/+19
| | | | | | | fragments when discussing equivalence of thhe C API to what a Python programmer sees. Added descriptions of PyEval_SetProfile() and PyEval_SetTrace().
