From 8e94489882573033877bc56bf7ddd5e23aa5d641 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido van Rossum Date: Tue, 30 Dec 1997 04:43:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a note that up to 1.4, translate() produced Emacs style syntax; in 1.5, it produces Perl style syntax. Also change "Python's regular expressions" into plain "regular expression" in the intro. --- Doc/lib/libfnmatch.tex | 7 +++++-- Doc/libfnmatch.tex | 7 +++++-- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/lib/libfnmatch.tex b/Doc/lib/libfnmatch.tex index 223b6153dfd..824ee44a26d 100644 --- a/Doc/lib/libfnmatch.tex +++ b/Doc/lib/libfnmatch.tex @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ \stmodindex{fnmatch} This module provides support for Unix shell-style wildcards, which are -\emph{not} the same as Python's regular expressions (which are +\emph{not} the same as regular expressions (which are documented in the \code{re} module).
