* cmpfiles(): Added shallow and use_statcache parameters, with same meaningsFred Drake2000-07-031-14/+13

* Whoops! We just discovered that Gordon's revamp of this module wasGuido van Rossum2000-06-291-49/+310

* Fredrik Lundh:Guido van Rossum2000-03-281-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index. This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement, and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds when using the module ;-).
* More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,Guido van Rossum2000-02-041-299/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | who writes: Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs. Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more module docstrings begin with a one-line summary. I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though i did move class documentation into class docstrings. The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive stuff about module usage into module docstrings. Hope this is okay.

* New module by Moshe Zadka (submitted on Sept. 25). This unifies theGuido van Rossum1999-10-261-0/+57
functionality of cmp.py and cmpcache.py, which are hereby declared obsolescent.
