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.

for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
 1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00

 1998-07-22 21:34:21 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that 
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
 1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py,

 1998-07-20 13:46:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfba2fbfd0 Eric Raymond documents two already-existing functions (bmp, png). 1998-07-17 19:01:29 +00:00

Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.
 1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit... 
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
 1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists. 
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
 1998-06-30 15:56:23 +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 
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
 1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional; 
it's already decribed that way in the description.
 1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between

Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
 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
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have 
the empty prompt.
 1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00

locals().
 1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00

Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file 
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
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 
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
 1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 872948350f Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR. 1998-06-16 22:27:40 +00:00

take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
 1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d23758be7 Added docs for strptime(). 1998-06-09 16:30:56 +00:00

 1998-05-22 18:48:37 +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
Fred Drake 4775d0a353 Relocating file to mac. 1998-05-07 12:58:57 +00:00

Fred Drake b5aa3de118 Remove extra cruft for texi processing. 1998-04-28 18:37:12 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6b4fe36b Section for bisect module. 1998-04-28 18:28:21 +00:00

Added bisect entry.
 1998-04-28 18:27:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 125024a87d Updated. 1998-04-28 18:27:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2aefe8d7c0 Document changed semantics -- open() now guesses the db type and error 
is now a tuple of various and sundry exceptions.
 1998-04-28 15:29:26 +00:00
Fred Drake f8d50bfdb0 Hook in the calendar and popen2 sections. 1998-04-28 14:29:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 6afad3792d popen2 section for the library reference, contributed by Drew Csillag, with 
some reorganization.
 1998-04-28 14:28:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a1cc3e171 Use of \key and \kbd were isolated to one instance each in this file; 
normalize to \kbd to allow removal of \key from the document class.
 1998-04-28 13:38:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f31694d37 Document transfercmd(), ntransfercmd(), delete(), rmd(), size(). 
Thanks to Timothy Wild <twild@clear.net.nz> for catching the omission of
delete().
 1998-04-27 14:54:06 +00:00

Fred Drake 42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has 
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar.  (Why?)
 1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a933f6a53d Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two* 
times pi.  Got rid of $math$ here and in one other place.
 1998-04-20 14:43:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f5155817b Mark TMPDIR correctly. 1998-04-17 14:51:04 +00:00

Fred Drake 3e7a48e0d9 Revert markup around list of display fields from the disassembler; it doesn't 
look at good in print, but doesn't break the HTML.
 1998-04-13 16:15:02 +00:00

Fred Drake fab2f34538 When the text of a table cell should be wrapped, used a "p" column. 1998-04-11 18:46:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7e9383ab59 Add a comment to indicate the methods of the StringIO are being discussed... 1998-04-11 18:05:24 +00:00

One more logical mark.
 1998-04-11 16:57:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d213d3497 When the text of a table cell should be wrapped, used a "p" column. 1998-04-11 16:40:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 34672dbb38 Remove over-active replace-string turds. 1998-04-11 16:24:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 8f6b958fdb Use {memberdesc} to mark the instance attributes. 1998-04-11 15:11:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dba8e2ab4 Hmmm... better add some \label macros for logical addressing while I'm at it. 1998-04-11 13:51:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a37455967 It's "Lauder", not "Lauders"! 1998-04-11 13:48:26 +00:00
Fred Drake e5cf53ad89 Formatting nits. 
An index entry.
 1998-04-11 05:02:45 +00:00

 1998-04-11 04:19:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 007bac3b0b Added smtplib.py (thanks, Guido!). 1998-04-09 18:54:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 2cb824cbf9 Don't use \samp when \code is better. 
Consistently use ' instead of ":  this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense.  This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard.  (It also holds no new surprises!)
 1998-04-09 18:10:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c634ecae Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for 
\seemodule.  This is far easier than figuring out the real problem, but it
works.
 1998-04-09 15:44:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a254b5967 Removed misleading comment about GNU software. This module and the zlib 
library have no relationship with GNU software other than implementing some of
the same algorithms and file format.  (The zlib module is more general.)
 1998-04-09 15:41:44 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 253328104f Many markup changes (to \regexp, mostly)

  qualifier.
 1998-04-09 14:56:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 20ca9171c1 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it 
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).

Add section for previously documented obsolete modules.  Includes ni, rand,
and soundex.
 1998-04-09 14:32:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 363ab1a613 Comment out the soundex section. 1998-04-09 14:23:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 2de75ec245 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it 
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).
