* Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: ModifyingGuido van Rossum2001-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | type.__module__ behavior. This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to put the correct description in a comment.
* Script to generate the table of distribution packages, plugging in the sizeFred Drake2001-12-081-0/+97
| | | | information automatically.
* Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changesFred Drake2001-12-072-49/+60
| | | | with Python 2.2.
* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-072-7/+6
| | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?)
* Revise description of dumbdbm.open() to reflect that the flag argument isFred Drake2001-12-071-7/+7
| | | | | ignored and that mode was ignored before Python 2.2. This closes SF bug #490098.
* Describe the behavior of the read() method when the list of filenamesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+18
| | | | | | includes files that do not exist, explain the intended use of the interface, and show how to ensure an expected file really exists. This closes SF bug #490399.
* Another name.Fred Drake2001-12-071-0/+1
