* Wrote section on nested scopes, and moved it to the frontAndrew M. Kuchling2001-02-051-153/+242
| | | | | | | Began a section on weak references Various rewrites and paragraph refills Added: non-recursive makefiles, repr() of strings now uses \n, raw socket I/O Bumped version number
* Improve diagnostic output when an external command returns a non-zero exitFred Drake2001-02-041-0/+19
| | | | | | code, showing the transcript for that command. This closes SF bug #129740.
* Fix markup typo in a {verbatim} environment (there should not be any!);Fred Drake2001-02-031-1/+1
| | | | caught by Eric Raymond.
* Document Node.isSameNode().Fred Drake2001-02-031-0/+7
|
* Move the whrandom section back to the documented modules section; thisFred Drake2001-02-031-1/+1
| | | | gives people a chance to see the depracation notice.
* Revise the deprecation note for the whrandom module to be correct and aFred Drake2001-02-031-2/+6
| | | | little more formal.
* Remove an now-false statement about there being only one type flagFred Drake2001-02-031-3/+1
| | | | defined.
* Do not pass names of individual files to shutil.rmtree(); use os.unlink()Fred Drake2001-02-021-2/+3
| | | | for that.
* Adjustments to the text of the UnixMailbox description. AddedFred Drake2001-02-021-21/+31
| | | | | PortableUnixMailbox as a separate class as well (this also generates the right index entry).
* Move the whrandom entry to the "Obsolete Modules" appendix.Fred Drake2001-02-021-1/+1
|
* Minor markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-02-021-15/+13
| | | | | Move some index entries next to what they are referring to for better "targetting".
* Minor markup adjustments.Fred Drake2001-02-021-22/+26
|
* Added a warning at the top saying that user code should not use theFred Drake2001-02-021-0/+2
| | | | whrandom module directly.
* Allow 'continue' inside 'try' clauseJeremy Hylton2001-02-011-9/+11
| | | | SF patch 102989 by Thomas Wouters
* Fix some markup breakage that prevented formatting; re-wrapped a couple ofFred Drake2001-02-011-10/+10
| | | | wide paragraphs.
* Remove spurious "\end{description}" that caused formatting to fail.Fred Drake2001-02-011-2/+0
|
* Added entry for weakref documentation.Fred Drake2001-02-011-7/+11
| | | | | Moved commented-out entries for obsolete module to an appendix, still commented out.

* Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possibleTim Peters2001-02-011-14/+29
| | | | | | | | internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(), for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed() more than once there ...).
* update section 4.1 to describe nested scopesJeremy Hylton2001-02-011-94/+83
|
* Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:Barry Warsaw2001-01-311-9/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | - All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a callable used when new message instances are created by the next() methods. Defaults to the rfc822.Message class. - A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox. It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.
* Some rewriting of the "Internationalizing your programs and modules"Barry Warsaw2001-01-311-20/+41
| | | | subsection to include a discussion of the msgfmt.py program.
* Make HTML the default output format, since that is what people actuallyFred Drake2001-01-301-3/+3
| | | | want most of the time.
* Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegalJeremy Hylton2001-01-301-5/+0
| | | | imports. It checks for them now.
* Add note about non-recursive MakefilesAndrew M. Kuchling2001-01-291-1/+17
| | | | | Get Fred's name right Add some XXX items that need to be written
* More on noutrefresh() and scroll().Eric S. Raymond2001-01-291-2/+3
|
* updated to document use of sequences of two-element tuples as inputsSkip Montanaro2001-01-281-2/+7
|
* Adjust documentation for new.instance() to reflect that the secondFred Drake2001-01-281-3/+5
| | | | parameter may be omitted or None.
* Document the PyInstance_*() functions and data.Fred Drake2001-01-282-2/+39

* Instructive example for strftime(); how to generate RFC822 dates.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-281-0/+16
|
* Emphasis that instantiating this class doesn't consume the message body.Eric S. Raymond2001-01-271-3/+3
| | | | Fix some unclear language in the description of the addrlist member.
* Fix a number of typos found by Guido.Fred Drake2001-01-261-4/+4
|
* Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations,Fred Drake2001-01-261-40/+109
| | | | | | primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!). This closes SF patch #103412.
* Typo: coplete --> completeFred Drake2001-01-261-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #129759.
* The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needsTim Peters2001-01-261-2/+48
| | | | examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated. Here they are.
* Add bzip2 archives back to the set of generated archives; we had way tooFred Drake2001-01-251-3/+3
| | | | | | many reasonable requests to keep them around. Bump version number.
* Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I usedFred Drake2001-01-253-9/+7
| | | | | | in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6. Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.
* Update link to LaTeX2HTML web site.Fred Drake2001-01-251-2/+1
|
* Clarify winsound.beep docs, in response to c.l.py beep brouhahalet.Tim Peters2001-01-251-0/+5
|
* Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initializationTim Peters2001-01-251-8/+19
| | | | | | | got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).
* Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all theTim Peters2001-01-251-31/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.
* A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1

* Fixed a bug where \& was needed.Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-1/+1
|
* Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf()Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-4/+38
| | | | function, based on an eyeballing of the code.
* Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of moduleTim Peters2001-01-241-21/+52
| | | | | | intro docs. *************** Fred: check my LaTeX! Also, the docs for whrandom should *************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.
* Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previousFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1
| | | | change to this file. Thanks, /F!
* Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings.Ka-Ping Yee2001-01-248-31/+23
| | | | Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.
* Remove evil "sec:" prefix from some \label markups; this is bad forFred Drake2001-01-241-2/+2
| | | | filenames on Windows (& Mac?) platforms.
* AttributeList --> NamedNodeMapFred Drake2001-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | Since there is no such thing as an AttributeList, don't say "attributes" is one.
