| | | | | | | | | the object has been pickled; don't mutate the instance dict in the __getstate__() method. Other minor changes for style. Broke up the displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example. This closes SF bug #453914.

* Fix a URL (closing SF patch #462195).Fred Drake2001-09-251-25/+43
| | | | | | Cleaned up a bunch of XXX comments containing links to additional information, replacing them with proper references. Replaced "MacOS" with "Mac OS", since that's what the style guide says.
* Add more signature information and some descriptions for the new APIsFred Drake2001-09-241-1/+89
| | | | | | | introduced in Python 2.2. Add documentation for the slice object interface (not complete). Added version annotations for several of the Python 2.2 APIs already documented.

* Make difflib.ndiff() and difflib.Differ.compare() generators. ThisTim Peters2001-09-221-12/+14
| | | | | restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing output before the entire comparison is complete.
* Add a function to compute a class's method resolution order. This isTim Peters2001-09-221-1/+9
| | | | | | easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and different approaches are needed "depending". The function will allow later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.

* SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:Guido van Rossum2001-09-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, I put together a little function that tries to find the canonical filename for a given pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to turning it into a proper patch with documentation. On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are encountered in the path. Example: >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X') '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

* SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplibGuido van Rossum2001-09-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP over TLS) to the smtplib module: - A starttls() function - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
* Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profileFred Drake2001-09-131-8/+9
