* When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()Fred Drake2001-10-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | parameters, given a hyperlink to the right part of the documentation to make it easier to look those up. Also, refer to the file() function/ constructor instead of open() now that that is where the actual docs for those parameters live. This closes SF bug #472004.
* Additional test and documentation for the unicode() changes.Marc-André Lemburg2001-10-191-13/+27

* SF patch #443759: Add Interface to readline's add_historyGuido van Rossum2001-10-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was submitted by Moshe, but apparently he's too busy to check it in himself. He wrote: Here is a function in GNU readline called add_history, which is used to manage the history list. Though Python uses this function internally, it does not expose it to the Python programmer. This patch adds direct interface to this function with documentation. This could be used by friendly modules to "seed" the history with commands.

| | | | TeX-ified its docstring.
* Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.Guido van Rossum2001-10-161-5/+4
| | | | | | This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1 for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I doubt anyone calls it.)
* [ #403753 ] zlib decompress; uncontrollable memory usageJeremy Hylton2001-10-161-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Mostly by Toby Dickenson and Titus Brown. Add an optional argument to a decompression object's decompress() method. The argument specifies the maximum length of the return value. If the uncompressed data exceeds this length, the excess data is stored as the unconsumed_tail attribute. (Not to be confused with unused_data, which is a separate issue.) Difference from SF patch: Default value for unconsumed_tail is "" rather than None. It's simpler if the attribute is always a string.
* Document required return values -1, 0, 1 for tp_compare handler, asGuido van Rossum2001-10-161-2/+11

* Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manualFred Drake2001-10-1211-6136/+6171
| | | | | | | | has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs settings. Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.

| | | | | | | | call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl. Rewrote the calibration docs. Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant) per profile event just isn't a big deal.

* Update the documentation for the isinstance() function to reflect recentFred Drake2001-10-091-221/+226

| | | | | | | | | | functions to include information about how they affect the operation of those functions when used as the "mode" parameter. This closes SF bug #468384. Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their security problem. These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime by Skip Montanaro.

* A regexp example was rendered asTim Peters2001-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | foo\d when it was clearly intended to render as foo$ Fred, is this a right way to fix it? If not, the earlier place in the same paragraph that does render as foo$ is also wrong.
* Remove some long-unsupported Mac OS modules.Fred Drake2001-10-055-425/+0
