Raymond Hettinger 6fe1299b09 SF bug #652888: bad documentation for the "type" builtin 
Clarified that not all types are included.  The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.

Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.

Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

s/field/member/ generally everywhere, to conform with most other usage in
the docs.

Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform 
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
 2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all 
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

Minor fixes to markup, spelling, parameter names, and abbreviations.
 2003-01-04 01:53:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 8827d0c338 Replaced the flawed "local time" example tzinfo class with the guts 
of Guido's later Local.py (from the datetime sandbox).
 2003-01-03 22:26:57 +00:00

Andrew M. Kuchling d5ac8d0b39 Fix PEP 302 description; bump version number 2003-01-02 21:33:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object 
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
 2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch 
661092.
 2003-01-02 20:51:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if 
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).

Fred Drake 45e482fd3d Document that apply() is deprecated. See: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/031556.html
 2003-01-02 04:54:04 +00:00
Tim Peters f36151556f A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier 
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.

Fred Drake 33fb554a13 Revert merge from 2.3 alpha 1 release branch; the change does not 
apply to the trunk.
 2003-01-01 04:50:32 +00:00
Tim Peters 88ad134e36 Merging in changes from r23a1-branch. Doc/makefile had conflicts, which

Fred Drake 8f1f8f13e4 The trunk is (nominally) post-alpha. 2002-12-31 20:26:25 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling f15fb2926b Results of a rewrite pass 2002-12-31 18:34:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f8e543159 - use classdesc where we can (for better indexing) 
- more style consistency crud
 2002-12-31 18:31:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 436eadd455 General style conformance. Markup some unmarked constructs. 2002-12-31 18:13:11 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f621232c0d Use funcdesc instead of classdesc to be consistent with out sections. 2002-12-31 17:24:50 +00:00
Fred Drake e2c649126e Further cleanup of exceptions. All interpolation-related exceptions 
now derive from InterpolationError, which is not raised directly (only
subclasses get raised).  This matches what the docs already said.
 2002-12-31 17:23:27 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6222958500 Spelling fix 2002-12-31 16:37:03 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger cbd6cd2312 Add markup for time object. 
Cleanup whitespace.
Fix unbalanced parenthesis.
 2002-12-31 16:30:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 9532298c82 Removed the now-untrue (or soon-to-be untrue) part of the astimezone() 
docs.  Replaced it with an XXX block, because the hoped-for treatment
of DST endcases remains unclear (Guido doesn't really like raising an
exception when it's impossible to deliver a correct result, but so
far I have no way in hand to consistently deliver a defined incorrect
result either).
 2002-12-31 16:01:47 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 2852cbaf26 Document the new ,netrc awareness in nntplib. 2002-12-31 15:28:44 +00:00
Fred Drake f91b4619e0 Barry raised reasonable objections to the macro name \mimeheader, so 
we'll simply revert to \mailheader since there's no other good name.
 2002-12-31 15:23:09 +00:00

 2002-12-31 01:20:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 81e4aa7054 - re-mark ESR's warning about extended registry syntax

Guido van Rossum 2969233f9a Add dummy_thread[ing] sections and reference these from libthread[ing]. 2002-12-30 22:34:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ad50ca91a9 Brett Cannon's dummy_thread and dummy_threading modules (SF patch 
622537), with some nitpicking editorial changes.
 2002-12-30 22:30:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a37e5cce4b We're using strictly American spellings, so there's no diaresis over 
the i in naive.

More markup fixups.
 2002-12-30 21:26:42 +00:00
Tim Peters bad8ff089a A step on the way to making tzinfo classes writable by mortals: get rid 
of the timetz case.  A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now.  In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone.  That will get
fixed next.
 2002-12-30 20:52:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 567332abc4 Start something that might make table notes easier to deal with, 
eventually.

core generator for random.py.
 2002-12-29 23:03:38 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c7b076928c Incorporate Skip's suggestion to use SciPy's validation test near 
equality.  Note, there is another flavor that compares to a given
number of significant digits rather than decimal places.  If there
is a demand, that could be added at a later date.
 2002-12-29 17:59:24 +00:00

Tim Peters 60c76e4016 Make comparison and subtraction of aware objects ignore tzinfo if the 
operands have identical tzinfo members (meaning object identity -- "is").
I misunderstood the intent here, reading wrong conclusion into
conflicting clues.
 2002-12-27 00:41:11 +00:00
Just van Rossum 8982595870 Backing out patch #642578 in anticipation of final acceptance of PEP 302. 2002-12-25 23:13:34 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time 
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().
 2002-12-25 16:37:19 +00:00
Tim Peters 80475bb4d2 Implemented datetime.astimezone() and datetimetz.astimezone(). 2002-12-25 07:40:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 52d134874f Removed blurb admonishing users to raise an exception if the datetime 
argument to a tzinfo method doesn't have a matching tzinfo member.
 2002-12-24 16:34:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 2483b61e03 Added note about technical pickle limitation on tzinfo instances. 2002-12-24 16:30:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 1cff9fc97c tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst} can return timedelta (or integer or None). 
{timetz,datetimetz}.{uctcoffset,dst} do return timedelta (or None).

Neal Norwitz c7d8c68c65 Fix SF #658023, "What's New in 2.3", s12, verbatim error

 2002-12-24 14:51:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 12bf339aea Implemented .replace() methods for date, datetime, datetimetz, time and 
timetz.
 2002-12-24 05:41:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 29fb9c7e07 Brought the strftime explanation into synch with the plain-text sandbox 
docs, and moved its section to the end (before the "C API" section,
which latter doesn't really belong in the Library manual).
 2002-12-23 22:21:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 446f32367b Add in the datetime docs now that they pass LaTeX. Still ugly, but that can 
be fixed.
 2002-12-23 19:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake bbdb250862 Lots of markup changes. This is still pretty sad, but passes LaTeX 
and is mostly readable.
 2002-12-23 18:58:06 +00:00
Fred Drake ce5200842e Move the examples of concrete tzinfo classes to a separate file, so the 
verbatim environment does not bollux page breaking.

Michael W. Hudson cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch 
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Neal Norwitz 212b43f90c Add markup for base parameter 2002-12-17 01:24:11 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 046b8a7244 Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of eval 
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.

Neal Norwitz e9ce25e512 Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documented 
Added doc for functions new to 2.2:  classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings.  Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.

Backport candidate.

Neal Norwitz 0f30dbd991 Fix SF # 626275, missing DECREF's in embedding example 
Tested w/valgrind, all paths except the return on PyInt_AsLong() failure
I think I got all of these right.

Backport candidate.

Gustavo Niemeyer 786ddb29c9 Fixed bug 
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

Thomas Heller 63b4dd33c9 Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup. 2002-12-12 19:35:00 +00:00
Thomas Heller 2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script. 
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is 
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Just van Rossum b083cb3901 Patch #651621, approved by MvL. 
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

Tim Peters 85f7f83d71 Added a word to the heapq description in response to user confusion. 2002-12-10 21:04:25 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations 
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
