* Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.Jim Fulton2003-05-073-125/+946
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changed the example to show how to create types the new way: - Use a class new method rather than a new function. - Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators - Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods. - Make the type usable as a base type. I split the example into 3 parts: 1. The minimal new type 2. Adding attributes and methods. 3. Finer control over attributes. It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully show this. I also made minor wording changes in two other places. I still need to update xxobject.c

* Add a big comment about cross-platform issues (especially OpenBSD).Greg Ward2003-05-031-7/+33
| | | | | | This should be turned into a footnote by someone who actually understands OSS and its relationship to Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc.

* The previous made the stop argument optional.Raymond Hettinger2003-05-021-10/+7

* SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvementRaymond Hettinger2003-04-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a case that used only short options or long options but not both. He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma, The appropriate pattern is an equality check. Revised the example to point him in the right direction. Backport candidate.

| | | | | | | | | tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke the test for Irmen de Jong. Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam() for details. Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good if we supplied a different implementation. Bugfix candidate.
