Fred Drake d0421dd448 spoking --> speaking 
object whose method this is --> object on which the method operates
 1998-08-24 17:57:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 637af13dca There is no <ISINPUT> element, just <ISINDEX>. ;-) 1998-08-21 20:02:06 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 42db27fedc Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that 
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
    exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
    when the main line of the program resumes execution.  Is this guaranteed
    in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?

Also fixed a typo.

Clean up some of the markup.
 1998-07-23 21:18:25 +00:00

 1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...

Also added pop to index.
 1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00

cmd, multifile and smtplib.
 1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also

obsolete.
 1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00

 1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
 1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00

little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
 1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to

over multiple lines is no longer true.
 1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00

 1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00

Bow to font lock.
 1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions, 
and allows the info to work through this section.
 1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00
