|

| | | | | | | Removed obsolete comments about this module not creating or removing actual files. Removed obsolete comment about users needing to set template to None after calling os.fork().

| | | | | | | | | | | I've added an extra comment about quoting arguments to IMAP4 commands. Also changed the command descriptions to show optional extra commands where appropriate. Fred Drake: Added example usage for the search() method based on comments from <Lucas.DeJonge@awtpl.com.au>; elaborated error handling information when arguments are missing from search() and uid().

* Remove unused "import curses".Guido van Rossum2000-05-241-1/+0
|
* Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs areAndrew M. Kuchling2000-05-231-188/+757
| | | | | | | now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly. Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.
* From Greg Ward <gward@python.net>:Fred Drake2000-05-231-2/+2
| | | | Typo: "dictionairy" --> "dictionary" (twice).
* New description for math.frexp() -- poor description noted byFred Drake2000-05-181-2/+6

* The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mentionGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it conditional on HAVE_RINT.
* Added math.rint() -- round according to current IEEE754 modeGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+4

* Oops, better also note that the module initialization function must beFred Drake2000-05-101-0/+2
| | | | extern "C" for C++.
* Section "The Module's Method Table and Initialization Function":Fred Drake2000-05-101-7/+10
| | | | | | Explain that the name of the initialization function must be init<module>(). Omission noted by Daniel Kozan <crum@dev-group.com>.
* Fix references to the built-in compile() that don't include theFred Drake2000-05-091-10/+10

* Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>:Fred Drake2000-05-091-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading. Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>: Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more information about the subject of the module.
* Define \seeurl in the seealso environment. Two parameters: url, why.Fred Drake2000-05-091-0/+9
|
* do_cmd_seeurl(): New function.Fred Drake2000-05-091-0/+11
|
* read() method: clarify that strings are accepted and interpretedFred Drake2000-05-091-1/+9
| | | | | | reasonably. readfp() method: added documentation.
* Someone found the examples of poor practice on socket addresses!Fred Drake2000-05-031-3/+3
| | | | Spotted by Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>.
* Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:Fred Drake2000-05-031-0/+28
| | | | | | | Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE * buffer plus a length with the '#'. Also added an analog to 'U' for Py_BuildValue.
* Clarify status of connection of a new instance; it *is* connected ifFred Drake2000-05-031-3/+5
| | | | | you pass server information to the constructor. Error noted by Pedro Diaz Jimenez <diazjimenez@ctv.es>.
* Added descriptions of \versionadded and \versionchanged.Fred Drake2000-05-021-0/+20
|
* do_cmd_versionchanged():Fred Drake2000-05-021-1/+6
| | | | | Added support for optional parameter explaining the change that was made in the specified version.
* Use \versionchanged to indicate when the second parameter to utime()Fred Drake2000-05-021-2/+3
| | | | was allowed to be None.
* \versionchanged: Added optional parameter for explanation of change.Fred Drake2000-05-021-2/+8

* Eric Raymond:Guido van Rossum2000-05-011-2/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | (1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error messages that track file and line number. (2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error leaders.
* Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to theBarry Warsaw2000-05-011-3/+6
| | | | | previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
* \file and \filenq should not be used in section titles; they are notFred Drake2000-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | sufficiently robust to survive the creation of bookmarks in the PDF format.
* Don't worry about the output dirs for the distutils manuals.Fred Drake2000-04-281-0/+2
