* Add some text to make the dircmp object section more readable, and moveFred Drake2001-05-111-7/+16
| | | | some stuff around.
* --sigh--Fred Drake2001-05-112-3/+3
| | | | | Finish the last set of changes to these files so the conversion does not break.
* Markup adjustments to avoid getting junk in the index.Fred Drake2001-05-111-5/+5

* Replace "\begin{classdesc}{SomeClass}{\unspecified}" withFred Drake2001-05-112-3/+5
| | | | | "\begin{classdesc*}{SomeClass}" -- the rendering of \unspecified was identical to \moreargs, so this helps clarify things just a little.
* Document the new classdesc* environment, and the previously undocumentedFred Drake2001-05-111-1/+18
| | | | excclassdesc environment.
* Define a new environment, classdesc*, which can be used to document aFred Drake2001-05-112-0/+23
| | | | | | class without providing any information about the constructor. This should be used for classes which only exist to act as containers rather than as factories for instances.
* Write a better synopsis for the Scrap module, and provide a link toFred Drake2001-05-101-1/+9

* Actually include a synopsis line for the ColorPicker module.Fred Drake2001-05-101-1/+1

* Fix typo in weakref.proxy() documentation.Fred Drake2001-05-101-1/+1

* Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.Fred Drake2001-05-102-18/+7
| | | | | | (The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows it.)
* Update the fcntl module documentation.Fred Drake2001-05-091-30/+26

* Itamar Shtull-Trauring <python@itamarst.org>:Fred Drake2001-05-091-4/+5
| | | | | | | Updates zipfile.ZipFile docs to mention the fact that you can create a ZipFile instance from an arbitrary file-like object. This closes patch #418011.
* Fix the operator precedence table: exponentiation binds tighter thanFred Drake2001-05-091-2/+2

* Work around limitations of the module synopsis table generation to avoidFred Drake2001-05-099-9/+9
| | | | | | leaking LaTeX2HTML's internal string munging. This fixes SF bug #420399.
* Minor adjustments to HTML for the module synopsis tables.Fred Drake2001-05-091-2/+6

* Job.build_html(): Be more robust in ensuring about.html exists; copyingFred Drake2001-05-091-17/+16
| | | | | | | | | the right HTML file to the name about.html is needed even if the --numeric option was not given -- some other name may have been assigned due to some non-determinism in the algorithm use to perform name allocation. ;-( This closes the "About..." portion of SF bug #420216.
* There is no IMAP class in the imaplib module; the class is IMAP4.Fred Drake2001-05-091-9/+10
| | | | | | | | There is no imap module; refer to imaplib instead, since it exists. Move the "See Also:" section in front of the sub-sections, for consistency with other portions of the library reference. This closes the library reference portion of SF bug #420216.
* Note that when inplace=1 existing backup files will be removed silently.Fred Drake2001-05-091-2/+5
| | | | Closes SF bug #420230.
* Michael Hudson <mwh21@cam.ac.uk>:Fred Drake2001-05-081-2/+3
| | | | | | | | Documentation update to reflect changes to the termios module (noting that the termios functions can take a file object as well as a file descriptor). This closes the documentation portion of SF patch #417081.
* Hmm... better add a version annotation for the Iterator Protocol section.Fred Drake2001-05-071-0/+2

* Added documentation for PyIter_Check() and PyIter_Next().Fred Drake2001-05-071-1/+39
| | | | Wrapped a long line.

* Correct two floating-point representations printed by the interpreter inFred Drake2001-04-251-2/+2

* This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted aMarc-André Lemburg2001-04-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch for sharing single character Unicode objects. Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch implements: * Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch). * The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization, providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()). * Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY) * The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error. * Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature changed due to this. * Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode object contents of the returned object in case they called the API with NULL as content template. Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.
* At the suggestion of Peter Funk, document 'key in dict' and 'key notGuido van Rossum2001-04-231-6/+6
| | | | in dict' after has_key(), with a \versionadded{2.2} note.
* Update publish-to-SourceForge scripts to automatically determine if theFred Drake2001-04-222-7/+26
| | | | | branch is the head (development) branch or a maintenance brach, and use the appropriate target directory for each.
* Only document <file>.xreadlines() once; added version annotation.Fred Drake2001-04-221-7/+4
| | | | This closes SF bug #417943.
* encode(): Handle Latin-1 input characters better.Fred Drake2001-04-211-3/+7

* Add support for <memberline/> (needs markup improvement!).Fred Drake2001-04-211-1/+5
| | | | | | Update <versionadded/> to recent addition of optional explanatory text; make the explanation text take the same attribute name for both <versionadded/> and <versionchanged/>.
* Fix a number of minor markup errors.Fred Drake2001-04-213-7/+7
|
* The (fairly recent) \textasciicircum is not supported by LaTeX2HTML; addFred Drake2001-04-211-0/+1
| | | | support for it here.
* Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".Guido van Rossum2001-04-203-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial, I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-) That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm about to check in next.
* Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the timeFred Drake2001-04-191-0/+5
| | | | | used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1. Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

* Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead ofFred Drake2001-04-181-10/+9

* Sync version number with the current CVS version.Fred Drake2001-04-181-1/+1
| | | | | | (Note that the docs are also being maintained on the 2.1.1 maintenance branch, so users interested only in corrections and clarifications can get that.)
* Add description of the "explanation" optional parameter added to theFred Drake2001-04-181-5/+8
| | | | | | \versionadded macro. Note: this should not be merged into the 2.1 maintenance branch.
