* Document Pyerr_Warn().Guido van Rossum2000-12-191-0/+34
|
* Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating pointFred Drake2000-12-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the documentation, and this is not the place to change the story! Reported by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
* Add support for gdbm2 open flags ('s' and 'u'). Add module constantNeil Schemenauer2000-12-171-6/+15
| | | | | open_flags which contains the flags supported by gdbm. Closes patch #102802.
* urlretrieve() description included explanation of "data" parameter, butFred Drake2000-12-151-4/+5
| | | | | | did not include it in the signature. Fixed some markup nits.
* Added documentation for random.shuffle().Fred Drake2000-12-151-0/+17
|
* Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:Fred Drake2000-12-151-2/+3
| | | | Clarify that invert() is a *bitwise* operation.
* Document napms()Andrew M. Kuchling2000-12-151-0/+5
| | | | Add reference to demo directory
* For the title page, insert the package version number before the date.Fred Drake2000-12-141-3/+3
| | | | | This makes the title area more like the title are of the top-level index, and puts the information more people are interested in first.
* Update information on the locking() function, added the needed constants.Fred Drake2000-12-141-2/+26
| | | | (Thanks for the info, Tim!)
* Finish a sentence that was left half-written!Fred Drake2000-12-131-16/+20

* Changing allow_reuse_address's default value, and documenting it.Moshe Zadka2000-12-131-0/+5
|
* Added "stub" documentation for xml.dom.pulldom for Paul to fill out withFred Drake2000-12-133-0/+63
| | | | useful explanations.
* Added descriptions of the defined exceptions and their mapping to theFred Drake2000-12-131-0/+129
| | | | DOM recommendation.
* "Documentation" for {}.popitem().Guido van Rossum2000-12-121-0/+6

* Additional docs for __iadd__ and family, closing SF bug #117178 and SF patchThomas Wouters2000-12-111-0/+26
| | | | #102169.
* Adjust explanation of operator precedence summary -- exponentiation groupsFred Drake2000-12-111-1/+2
| | | | | | from right to left! Closes bug #125391.
* Added link to HTML version of the NumPy documentation.Fred Drake2000-12-111-2/+4
| | | | This closes bug #124943.
* select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,Fred Drake2000-12-111-13/+15
| | | | | | | | using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not work on Windows. Also clarified list of acceptable objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know that file objects are not usable here on Windows.
* Lots of small improvements and bits of added information on the DOM API.Fred Drake2000-12-081-59/+110
|
* Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):Fred Drake2000-12-071-3/+3
| | | | | sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
* Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should onlyFred Drake2000-12-071-0/+7
| | | | | implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular information being modelled.
* Lots of additional information. Not done, but much better.Fred Drake2000-12-072-47/+173
|
* Another name!Fred Drake2000-12-071-0/+1
|
* Typo caught by Jim Tittsler <jwt@onjapan.net>: They --> TheFred Drake2000-12-071-1/+1
|
* Note that, as of Python 1.6, the .returns_unicode attribute on parserFred Drake2000-12-071-0/+2
| | | | objects can be modified at any point with the expected results.
* _getframe(): New sys module function for getting at the stack frame.Barry Warsaw2000-12-061-0/+11
| | | | | Implements and closes SF patch #102106, with Guido's suggested documentation changes.
* Two typos caught by /F; thanks!Fred Drake2000-12-041-2/+2
|
* Added a comment for ContentHandler.characters() explaining how to migrateFred Drake2000-12-041-0/+8
| | | | SAX1 code to SAX2, based on bug #123695.
* Update Moshe Zadka's email address to one works and might last a while.Fred Drake2000-12-0124-24/+24
|
* Backing out my changes.Moshe Zadka2000-11-301-12/+0
| | | | Improved version coming soon to a Source Forge near you!
* Added .first{item,value,key}() to dictionaries.Moshe Zadka2000-11-301-0/+12
| | | | | Complete with docos and tests. OKed by Guido.
* Adjust to allow an explanation of the changes to be included in theFred Drake2000-11-302-2/+13
| | | | notification message.
* A few small refinements to the table building code.Fred Drake2000-11-301-7/+10
|
* Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary;Fred Drake2000-11-301-68/+43
| | | | | this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been used.
* Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contentsFred Drake2000-11-301-53/+49
| | | | | | | of return tuples. The bare \item took advantage of an implementation detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML. It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing list-like environment to contain them.
* Added name.Fred Drake2000-11-301-0/+1
|
* In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make theFred Drake2000-11-291-7/+11
| | | | | | | | Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code. Also, in the C code, place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility of statements that affect control flow. This closes bug #123398.
* Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentationFred Drake2000-11-292-0/+2
| | | | and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
* Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract APIFred Drake2000-11-292-364/+523
| | | | | | | | | is now separated from the supplied standard implementation. Not all interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do so. There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is coming into line.
* Fix broken backslashes in Unicode strings section.Fred Drake2000-11-291-2/+2
| | | | This closes bug #123730.
* Partial fix for SF bug 123730: extra backslash in tutorial.Tim Peters2000-11-291-1/+1
|
* Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions.Fred Drake2000-11-282-1/+47
|
* Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIOFred Drake2000-11-281-2/+14
| | | | modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.
* Use a subclass of buildindex.Node to clean up the HTML and get theFred Drake2000-11-281-4/+18
| | | | | | ordering fixed up (this makes sure that "xml.dom" comes before "xml.dom.minidom" in the Module Index, which was not true before because some HTML cruft crept into the data structures).
* Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formattingFred Drake2000-11-281-1/+1
| | | | for the HTML version).
* Two minor nits.Fred Drake2000-11-281-3/+3
|
* Minor typo: \subsubsections --> \subsubsectionFred Drake2000-11-271-1/+1
|
* SF non-bug 123520: fleshed out the tutorial's lambda example a little more.Tim Peters2000-11-271-2/+9
|
* Conversion.write_ordinal(): Not used, remove it.Fred Drake2000-11-221-4/+0
|
* Convert the LaTeX "tie" (~) to a simple space.Fred Drake2000-11-221-4/+40
| | | | | | Add support for some combining characters. Remove unnecessary imports and dependencies on PyXML and esistools.
