Eric S. Raymond 8321026ff4 SourceForge patch #103140, checked in at fdrake's invitation. Minor fixes and 
additions to library docs.#
 2001-01-10 19:34:52 +00:00
Fred Drake fe338ca540 Fix a typo, remove one copy of a duplicated name. 2001-01-10 05:33:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 675e1d0a0d Remove bogus "echo" command. 2001-01-09 22:50:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c48ef7de8 Added documentation for the xreadlines module & related changes. The 
documentation was written by Jeff Epler (thanks!).
 2001-01-09 22:47:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL 
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)
 2001-01-09 22:02:10 +00:00
Fred Drake c49480ed51 Miscellaneous updates. 2001-01-09 21:40:52 +00:00

Fred Drake 37f1b34b62 Added entry for fpectl module documentation. 
Moved the mutex docs to be adjacent to the sched docs, since these are
meant to be used together (if they are used at all!).
 2001-01-09 20:52:49 +00:00
Fred Drake fa214cca61 Added entry for fpectl module documentation. 2001-01-09 20:50:02 +00:00
Fred Drake a5e7ad99d5 Documentation for the fpectl module, from Lee Busby. (Thanks!) 2001-01-09 20:38:54 +00:00

requiring the whole option to be typed out.

This closes SF bug #126863.
 2001-01-08 16:05:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 81473b12b7 The Python/C API deals in PyObject*, not PyDictObject*. 2001-01-08 05:53:53 +00:00
Fred Drake e1d4715a6f Update explanation of the set_location() method to indicate that in 
BTree databases, the key need not be in the database.  Also, tell about
the exception if the key is not in the DB for other DB types.

This closes SF bug #127377.
 2001-01-05 06:44:19 +00:00
Fred Drake b31d36cf01 Fix the bugfix for SF bug #127151 -- make sure we map "previous_page" to 
"previous" and "next_page" to "next".  This way the proper icons are found.
 2001-01-04 15:16:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer 
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.
 2001-01-04 15:11:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as 
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.
 2001-01-04 14:18:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 288927f426 Markup nit: Command line options should be marked with \programopt.

Fred Drake 19ae78302e Added information about the interaction of opening a file in append mode 
and seek() in the description of seek().

This closes SF bug #126850.
 2001-01-04 05:16:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 22e9a5eaec Markup nit: OK and ERR should be marked \constant in running text. 2001-01-04 05:14:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a72712efe Update documentation to include the new functions, and use the more 
explicitly-named bisect_right() in the example code.

This closes SF bug #127055.
 2001-01-04 05:12:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 9c15fa7a0f Description of long(): A string parameter is no longer required to be 
*decimal*.

This closes SF bug #127273.
 2001-01-04 05:09:16 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 48c2eb9165 Document the NotImplemented object. 2001-01-04 01:25:50 +00:00

 2001-01-02 22:08:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 2cba0f641f Improve description of else clause of the try/except/else statement.

 2001-01-02 19:22:48 +00:00
Fred Drake cc97f8c609 Fix up an awkward sentence, pointed out by Chris Ryland <cpr@emsoftware.com>. 2001-01-01 20:33:06 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it 
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the
'or continue' should be removed ;P

Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

additional escape sequences defined for Unicode.
This closes bug #117158.
 2000-12-19 04:52:03 +00:00

Fred Drake 5b56765fe7 Added documentation on the ErrorHandler interface. 
This closes bug #126034.
 2000-12-19 04:07:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e22e4b2b59 Oops. The value "0 or +1" for the category argument of PyErr_Warn() 
doesn't work.  Make it 0.  (Although it really *should* be 0 or +1 --
the refcount is incremented when it is raised as an exception, but not
otherwise.)
 2000-12-19 03:58:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9a18a7ed03 Document Pyerr_Warn(). 
Add an XXX comment at the beginning expressing disappointment over the
confusing way refcount behavior of arguments is documented.
 2000-12-19 03:53:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3dbb406335 Document Pyerr_Warn(). 2000-12-19 03:53:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 2b6d7bc151 Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point 
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

Reported by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
 2000-12-18 13:50:24 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer e9e860faf3 Add support for gdbm2 open flags ('s' and 'u'). Add module constant 
open_flags which contains the flags supported by gdbm.  Closes patch
#102802.
 2000-12-17 07:14:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 5100133685 urlretrieve() description included explanation of "data" parameter, but 
did not include it in the signature.

Fixed some markup nits.
 2000-12-15 23:57:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 065cba1281 Added documentation for random.shuffle(). 2000-12-15 19:07:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 29c45a5e91 Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>: 
Clarify that invert() is a *bitwise* operation.
 2000-12-15 05:41:49 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 4fb588240f Document napms() 
Add reference to demo directory
 2000-12-15 01:03:23 +00:00
Fred Drake de77bc5468 For the title page, insert the package version number before the date. 
This makes the title area more like the title are of the top-level
index, and puts the information more people are interested in first.
 2000-12-14 18:36:12 +00:00
Fred Drake f0b315478b Update information on the locking() function, added the needed constants. 
(Thanks for the info, Tim!)
 2000-12-14 03:11:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 48971198c5 Finish a sentence that was left half-written! 2000-12-13 22:36:02 +00:00
Moshe Zadka dd802208a7 Changing allow_reuse_address's default value, and documenting it. 2000-12-13 20:39:22 +00:00

useful explanations.
 2000-12-13 19:34:38 +00:00

 2000-12-11 23:11:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a22200ab4 Adjust explanation of operator precedence summary -- exponentiation groups 
from right to left!

Closes bug #125391.
 2000-12-11 22:39:24 +00:00
Fred Drake ed911b8cfb Added link to HTML version of the NumPy documentation. 
This closes bug #124943.
 2000-12-11 20:57:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists, 
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.
 2000-12-11 15:50:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 9a29dd6580 Lots of small improvements and bits of added information on the DOM API. 2000-12-08 06:54:51 +00:00
Fred Drake c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX): 
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
 2000-12-07 04:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c47559352 Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should only 
implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.
 2000-12-07 04:49:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 16942f2224 Lots of additional information. Not done, but much better. 2000-12-07 04:47:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c12ee866b Another name! 2000-12-07 00:06:46 +00:00
Fred Drake fd4d29cf5d Typo caught by Jim Tittsler <jwt@onjapan.net>: They --> The 2000-12-07 00:03:24 +00:00
Fred Drake b62966c175 Note that, as of Python 1.6, the .returns_unicode attribute on parser 
objects can be modified at any point with the expected results.
 2000-12-07 00:00:21 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b6a54d2a2c _getframe(): New sys module function for getting at the stack frame. 
Implements and closes SF patch #102106, with Guido's suggested
documentation changes.
 2000-12-06 21:47:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 21e4dd0492 Two typos caught by /F; thanks! 2000-12-04 22:29:17 +00:00
Fred Drake e119c8fc61 Added a comment for ContentHandler.characters() explaining how to migrate 
SAX1 code to SAX2, based on bug #123695.
 2000-12-04 22:04:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 57657bce94 Update Moshe Zadka's email address to one works and might last a while. 2000-12-01 15:25:23 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 5725d1eb03 Backing out my changes. 
Improved version coming soon to a Source Forge near you!
 2000-11-30 19:30:21 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 1a62750eda Added .first{item,value,key}() to dictionaries. 
Complete with docos and tests.
OKed by Guido.
 2000-11-30 12:31:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 827bb9fb3c Adjust to allow an explanation of the changes to be included in the 
notification message.
 2000-11-30 07:38:59 +00:00
Fred Drake e463f8e4cd A few small refinements to the table building code. 2000-11-30 07:17:27 +00:00
Fred Drake c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary; 
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
 2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents 
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.
 2000-11-30 07:12:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 1aaf5855f7 Added name. 2000-11-30 07:09:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b3f3f2861 In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the 
Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code.  Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

This closes bug #123398.
 2000-11-29 15:48:22 +00:00
Fred Drake f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation 
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
 2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API 
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.
 2000-11-29 06:10:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a6f1df48c Fix broken backslashes in Unicode strings section. 
This closes bug #123730.
 2000-11-29 06:03:45 +00:00
Tim Peters 657ebef2ae Partial fix for SF bug 123730: extra backslash in tutorial. 2000-11-29 05:51:59 +00:00
Fred Drake ee814bf2c9 Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions. 2000-11-28 22:34:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO 
modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.
 2000-11-28 16:24:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a0ef8696b Use a subclass of buildindex.Node to clean up the HTML and get the 
ordering fixed up (this makes sure that "xml.dom" comes before
"xml.dom.minidom" in the Module Index, which was not true before because
some HTML cruft crept into the data structures).
 2000-11-28 16:20:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 6763b31731 Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formatting 
for the HTML version).
 2000-11-28 06:39:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 2fef3abc74 Two minor nits. 2000-11-28 06:38:22 +00:00
Fred Drake b7a52c9de3 Minor typo: \subsubsections --> \subsubsection 2000-11-27 20:10:18 +00:00
Tim Peters c113465a49 SF non-bug 123520: fleshed out the tutorial's lambda example a little more. 2000-11-27 06:38:04 +00:00
Fred Drake fed0d09075 Conversion.write_ordinal(): Not used, remove it. 2000-11-22 17:59:32 +00:00
