 2002-06-20 20:55:29 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 495afea36e Typo. 2002-06-17 12:51:57 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton f3255c8540 Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a 
free variable and is subject to those rules.
 2002-04-01 21:25:32 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton f0c1f1badb Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a 
function is enforced.
 2002-04-01 21:19:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 15b68976da Remove the following restriction: 
Names bound by import statements may not occur in global
    statements in the same scope.

Why not?
 2002-04-01 21:18:02 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d09ed68aeb Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable. 
Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.
 2002-04-01 21:15:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5381588073 Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the 
level of predictability.  This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably
better than we had before.
This closes SF bug #523117.
 2002-03-15 23:21:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 08d752cf28 Update to use the notice environment so a multi-paragraph note can be 
appropriately marked.
 2001-12-14 22:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d0645cb84 Add a note about yield requiring a __future__ directive. 2001-12-12 06:06:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a8e59ebe1 Clean up a sad sentence in the yield description. 2001-12-11 21:58:35 +00:00
Fred Drake e31e9cebc0 Document generators and the yield statement, avoiding implementation details. 2001-12-11 21:10:08 +00:00
Fred Drake c2f496a138 Add a note to the description of the interaction between the softspace 
attribute of file objects, the print statement, and other file operations.
This closes SF bug #484857.

Fix minor markup nits.
 2001-12-05 05:46:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 08fd51509c When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and the 
set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public
names" that describes the use of __all__.
This closes SF bug #473986.

Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().
 2001-10-24 19:50:31 +00:00
Fred Drake cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment; 
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.
 2001-07-06 22:49:53 +00:00
Fred Drake be9d10edbb Remove some bogus trailing whitespace. 2001-06-23 06:16:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 93852ef3c8 Fix minor markup nits. 2001-06-23 06:06:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 2829f1cf99 Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit. 2001-06-23 05:27:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 62effc1127 Work around the conversion of ">>" and "<<" to guillemets. Reported by Ping. 2001-04-13 15:55:25 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 2c84fc8a7d Note that assignments to __debug__ are illegal 2001-03-23 14:34:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 859eb62108 Do not refer to "sub-modules" since that is not a defined term. 2001-03-06 07:34:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 10f8ba4fc6 Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegal 
imports.  It checks for them now.
 2001-01-30 01:25:15 +00:00
Fred Drake d68442b164 Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef Lannert 
<lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 22:01:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 31f5550fbe Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>: 
Reference manual docs for augmented assignment.

This closes SourceForge patch #101418.
 2000-09-12 20:32:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 33f785fc1e Document "print >> None" 2000-08-29 04:57:34 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8c0a242289 PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL. 
Document the extended print form.  Fred, please double check the
markup!
 2000-08-21 15:45:16 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it 
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.
 2000-08-19 20:55:02 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import 
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
 2000-08-17 22:55:00 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the 
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.

Fred Drake 191a28218f Typo: "This table table" -> "This table is" 
Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>.
 2000-07-06 00:50:42 +00:00
Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline 
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)
 2000-04-27 18:32:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 011f6fca31 Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant 
<joakim.sernbrant@front.se>).

Misc. small fixes to the logical markup.
 1999-04-14 12:52:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b1f97d6765 Suggestion by Tim Peters clarifying what "before global" means. 
(Also added an XXX comment requesting clarification of module
initialization -- TBD later.)
 1998-12-21 18:57:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 2b3730e284 Minor adjustments to a few index entries. 1998-11-25 17:40:00 +00:00
Fred Drake d4c3352288 Fix encoding of \n in a couple of places (reported by Lorenzo 
M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>).
 1998-10-01 20:39:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5a80a4a88 Describe what happens when ``raise C, x'' is called where C is a class 
and x is not an instance of C (nor of a class derived of C).
 1998-08-25 14:45:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a0b872665 At least mark the URL to the Packages essay using \url. 1998-08-07 17:40:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 61c7728cc9 Make sure all chapters, sections, and subsections have a \label to give them 
semantic file names in the HTML.  No more node#.html files!
 1998-07-28 19:34:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 246837d0f5 Fix markup of an \indexiii --> only two parameters were given. 1998-07-24 20:28:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 56c2013d15 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some 
previously undocumented features.

Packages and the import mechanism in general are still left
undocumented.
 1998-07-24 18:25:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
 1998-07-06 13:18:39 +00:00
Fred Drake dde91f000a Fix a bogus \code@...@ to be \code{...}. 
Normalize some other markup.
 1998-05-06 20:59:46 +00:00
Fred Drake f666917ab7 The Python Reference Manual. 1998-05-06 19:52:49 +00:00
