* As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()Fred Drake2000-08-181-14/+15
| | | | | | | | returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the source file they're implemented in. In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is described as obsolescent.
* Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will alsoFred Drake2000-08-181-2/+4
| | | | stand out more.
* Fix a markup error that caused formatting to fail.Fred Drake2000-08-181-16/+17
| | | | Lots of minor markup adjustments as well.

* Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module importThomas Wouters2000-08-172-10/+21
| | | | | | | | name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word. There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly undocumented.
* Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if thereThomas Wouters2000-08-171-9/+18
| | | | | | | | is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types. Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new behaviour.

|
* Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to sourceFred Drake2000-08-171-4/+4
| | | | | code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and is less likely to be available to end users.
* Martin v. Loewis <martin@loewis.home.cs.tu-berlin.de>:Fred Drake2000-08-171-0/+19

* Apply SF patch #101151, by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of theThomas Wouters2000-08-151-0/+2
| | | | | | 'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python wrapper.
* Fix error made in applying Thomas's patch.Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+1
|
* Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+2
| | | | | Update the grammar to reflect the most recent changes to list comprehensions.
* Fix markup bug that prevented formatting.Fred Drake2000-08-151-7/+9
| | | | | Adjusted some markup for consistency with the rest of the documentation and creation of the proper index entries.
* Describe the b2a_hex() and a2b_hex() functions (a.k.a. hexlify() andBarry Warsaw2000-08-151-0/+15
| | | | unhexlify() respectively).
* Added description of the md5.hexdigest() method.Barry Warsaw2000-08-151-0/+5

* Correct the reference count information for the parameters ofFred Drake2000-08-151-3/+3
| | | | PyErr_Restore().
* Guido pointed out that all names in the sys module have no underscore,Fred Drake2000-08-151-1/+1

* For bug reporting, point to the SourceForge bug tracker instead of theFred Drake2000-08-141-2/+2

* Document the byte_order value in the sys module.Fred Drake2000-08-141-0/+8

* Document the range type, as suggested by Denis S. OtkidachFred Drake2000-08-141-4/+24

* In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought upFred Drake2000-08-141-0/+9
| | | | | | | | by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions. It is not clear (to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not. This closes SourceForge bug #111520.
* Fix some markup errors that prevented formatting, and one that didn't.Fred Drake2000-08-121-4/+5

* list comprehensions. seeSkip Montanaro2000-08-122-5/+35
| | | | | | http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100654&group_id=5470 for details.
* Added information for PyEval_EvalCode().Fred Drake2000-08-121-2/+7
| | | | Fixed a couple of typos (new references are represented by "+1", not "1").
* Added Marc-Andre Lemburg's documentation for string methods, with someFred Drake2000-08-121-23/+216
| | | | | | | | massaging for markup consistency. This closes SourceForge patch #101063. Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types. Small markup nits elsewhere.
* Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since theyThomas Wouters2000-08-111-4/+4
| | | | | | | did the same anyway. I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
* PyRun_InteractiveOne(),Fred Drake2000-08-111-2/+20
| | | | | | | | PyRun_InteractiveLoop(): Added descriptions. PyExc_WindowsError: Added to list of standard exceptions and added note about the right preprocessor symbol to use to protect code that uses it.
* Some minor clarifications and added some index entries.Fred Drake2000-08-111-20/+22
|
* O_BINARY: Documented this constant; omission noted by David Ascher.Fred Drake2000-08-111-1/+8
| | | | | access(): Corrected availability statement; error pointed out by Tim Peters.
* do_env_cfuncdesc(): Push as much of the generated HTML into one placeFred Drake2000-08-111-8/+8
| | | | as possible for better readability. Revise a comment.
* getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it willFred Drake2000-08-111-19/+43
| | | | | | | | | | be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about the options and long_options parameters don't have references that are easily misinterpreted. Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module. Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
* Added material about documenting packages, so that the use of moduleFred Drake2000-08-111-0/+20
| | | | markup for packages is clear.
* Include the document dependencies earlier so that documents are rebuiltFred Drake2000-08-111-2/+2
| | | | when they need to be.
