Skip Montanaro dc8d40717c update text to refer to ServerProxy class in preference to Server, which is 
only retained for backward compatibility with older versions of the library.

Fred Drake 5d117472b4 Describe how to support the iterator protocol in extension types. 
This closes SF bug #420851.
 2002-03-13 03:55:11 +00:00
Fred Drake e789ea19c1 Extend the list of special characters and magic markup used to produce them 
to include various characters used in code samples, URLs, and other special
contexts.
This closes SF bug #525684.
 2002-03-13 02:48:24 +00:00
Fred Drake f171ad9d99 Change the way \textasciitilde is implemented so it works more consistently 
(dropping tildes into data that still goes through LaTeX-like processing is
a bad idea).
 2002-03-13 02:44:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 6ccdccd35d Add a note that Py_None needs the same reference count treatment as any 
other PyObject *.
This closes SF bug #494007.
 2002-03-12 20:12:54 +00:00
Fred Drake f981617645 "level" keyword argument in example should be "stacklevel". 
This closes SF bug #517684.

Tim Peters 8f01b680c8 Change Windows file.truncate() to (a) restore the original file position, 
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.

Beef up the file.truncate() docs.

Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone.  Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).

Fred Drake 314bae50b9 Documentation for PyObject_GetIter(), contributed by Greg Chapman 
(with only minor changes by Fred).
This closes SF bug #498607.
 2002-03-11 18:46:29 +00:00
Fred Drake e38b7e8fe9 Make the extension manual format using the Makefile; recent changes broke 
the dependency information.

Tim Peters fb05db2cae file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, by 
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function.  This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.

libstdtypes.tex:  Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb.  For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.

test_largefile:  Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more.  The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it.  I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.

CAUTION:  Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too.  The
truncation part was commented out before.  Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

Martin v. Löwis 27761f39a5 Patch #500136: Update Update ext build documentation. 2.2.1 candidate. 2002-03-09 10:06:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 632bda3aa0 Add more explanation of how data_files is used (esp. where the files end up 
in the installation and how that location is determined).
 2002-03-08 22:02:06 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 10b3eac278 [Bug #486527] Note that the caller has to ensure there are no control 
characters in strings being passed via XML-RPC.
Fix some typos.

2.2.1 bugfix candidate.
 2002-03-08 17:46:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 02d2212c8e Add entry for mac/libscrap.tex. 2002-03-08 03:18:19 +00:00
Fred Drake f3e6f06a45 I started writing more documentation on the Scrap module at one point, but 
it is difficult to do without a Mac box to try things out on.  This expands
on what was there only a little bit; hopefully someone with a Mac can work
on this as well!

Piers Lauder a4f8313cbb add SSL class submitted by Tino Lange 2002-03-08 01:53:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 6cb64f9e46 "Shortcut" should be "short-circuit". 
This closes SF bug #526277.
 2002-03-08 00:54:43 +00:00
Fred Drake da8a6dd072 Added missing version annotation for dict(). 2002-03-06 02:29:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 58fb237948 Add implementations for \textgreater and \textless, defined in (relatively) 
recent versions of LaTeX2e but not support in LaTeX2HTML.
 2002-03-05 04:04:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 9479c958c5 Remove extra indenatation from sample interpreter session. 
Remove whitespace from the middle of an inline RE example; it was OK for
the typeset formats, but LaTeX2HTML is more touchy about this.
 2002-03-05 04:02:39 +00:00
Skip Montanaro a8e1d81bdc add simple example of avoiding backtracking 2002-03-04 23:08:28 +00:00

Martin v. Löwis 9986633609 Patch 520694: arraymodule.c improvements: 
- make array.array a type
- add Py_UNICODE arrays
- support +=, *=
 2002-03-01 10:27:01 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 494cdb6d78 Add 2002 to PSF copyrights. 
Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...
 2002-02-27 13:29:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b6b2aa6c75 Fix error in explanation of the interaction between $ and MULTILINE mode. 
Reported by Steve Alexander.

Tim Peters 9f4341b3b0 SF bug #501591: dir() doc is old 
Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

Skip Montanaro 8d1fdafd89 note that the alarm function is not available on Windows. 2002-02-15 20:36:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 960d7a68d0 Added deprecatioon information for mac.xstat(). 
This closes SF bug #505150.

Fred Drake 928051fb26 The "%" character does not need to be escaped in verbatim environments. 
This closes SF bug #517811.
 2002-02-15 04:12:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bc6f7ac7b Consistently use \textasciicircum to produce a ^ character. 
LaTeX really falls flat on this one!
 2002-02-14 15:19:30 +00:00
Fred Drake c121745fda Update the instructions on reporting bugs to reflect that anonymous reports 
are no longer accepted.
 2002-02-04 21:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake baf43c5036 When linking to an index page, explicitly name index.html instead of 
using "./".  The later does not work nicely when browsing docs on a local
disk (as in the installed docs on Windows).
 2002-02-04 21:15:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 210d3cca86 Update version number to match Include/patchlevel.h. 
Make sure we clean up all the temp files craeted for the typeset formats.
 2002-02-04 19:49:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 375bbc306e Update version number to match Include/patchlevel.h. 2002-02-04 19:48:25 +00:00
Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux 
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
 2002-02-01 11:27:43 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c318260a71 added handle_error method description 2002-01-31 17:32:24 +00:00
Tim Peters c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows. 
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

Fred Drake c26467d53f Revise cheeseshop example so that the order of the keyword output is 
completely determined by the example; dict insertion order and the string
hash algorithm no longer affect the output.
This fixes SF bug #509281.
 2002-01-29 14:53:30 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis ef180dc3d0 Document that get_referrers can return unreachable but uncollected objects. 
Fixes #505453.

Fred Drake 744f67fb62 Add keyword.kwlist to the public API. 2002-01-24 16:38:53 +00:00
Fred Drake db2d3d1b3a libkeyword.tex was missing from the list of dependencies for the 
Library Reference.

borrowed references.
