Neal Norwitz 305908cffd SF #735051, add time.tzset documentation 2003-06-08 13:57:19 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 9556fba685 - urllib2.py now knows how to order proxy classes, so the user doesn't 
have to insert it in front of other classes, nor do dirty tricks like
  inserting a "dummy" HTTPHandler after a ProxyHandler when building an
  opener with proxy support.

Greg Ward 2748a4aa7e Typo fix. 2003-05-29 01:41:51 +00:00
Greg Ward fb1b5a164d Rewrite the description of setparameters() so it actually reflects the 
code (which has also been recently overhauled, so that it can be
documented without embarassment).

'error' has been renamed to 'OSSAudioError'.

Minor wordsmithing.
 2003-05-29 01:39:32 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith dad58601a0 Remove the note about the BerkeleyDB license. Barry indicates that 
sleepycat has told him that since python is OSS and berkeleydb is
being distributed with python for the bsddb library all is fine.
 2003-05-28 16:20:03 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton a95d3b78c8 Oops. License is still an appendix. 2003-05-28 12:12:55 +00:00

Jeremy Hylton cf9c46719c *** empty log message *** 2003-05-28 11:51:11 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith 5772513f0f Include a link to the pybsddb web documentation for the modern object 
oriented DbEnv & Db object BerkeleyDB interface.

Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to
distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

Fred Drake 5af41c55e6 Correct dependency information -- the Python docs load the "About this 
document" text from html/stdabout.dat, not html/about.dat.

Brett Cannon 066f3928b2 Library documentation for the 'test' package. Still needs to be checked by Fred. 2003-05-07 22:02:17 +00:00
Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types. 
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c

 2003-05-03 20:41:37 +00:00
Greg Ward 1f53517a8c Use True/False instead of 1/0 when talking about store_true/store_false. 
Particularly important since they now store True and False rather than 1
and 0!
 2003-05-03 20:13:08 +00:00
Greg Ward c50b088cfd Add a big comment about cross-platform issues (especially OpenBSD).

etc.

Fred Drake 8b34e7cc40 - add title attributes to the navigation icons on the navigation bars;

  Navigation Bar
 2003-05-02 20:18:01 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 341deb74e7 The previous made the stop argument optional. 
It is better to be explicit and just allow stop to be None.
 2003-05-02 19:44:20 +00:00

tools

Raymond Hettinger 6e887bb05f SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement 
A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a
case that used only short options or long options but not both.
He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.

Revised the example to point him in the right direction.

Backport candidate.

Tim Peters 5501b5e3d7 SF bug 728097: tmpnam problems on windows 2.3b, breaks test.test_os. 
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong.  Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details.  Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.

Bugfix candidate.
 2003-04-28 03:13:03 +00:00
Tim Peters bf89b3a1f7 walk() docs: Worked "walking" into the description and the text. Added

Tim Peters c4e0940042 New generator os.walk() does a bit more than os.path.walk() does, and 
seems much easier to use.  Code, docs, NEWS, and additions to test_os.py
(testing this sucker is a bitch!).
 2003-04-25 07:11:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 47dfa4a89a Patch by Jp Calderone: 
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
  for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
  See SF patch #658327.

This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).

 2003-04-16 09:46:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences() 
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
 2003-04-15 15:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a3cca5b82 - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be

  placed on a list index.

Neal Norwitz 06c7b62a83 Fix markup 2003-04-11 18:48:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a1ce93f87c From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html 
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__

- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1.  It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter.  Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.

- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor.  The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode.  For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.

The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.

Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False.  Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().

- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.
