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.

Guido van Rossum 8668e8e49c Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modules 
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vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.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 
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
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
Fred Drake 59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00

locals().
 1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +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

Guido van Rossum 929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer

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

(new!) contains.
 1998-05-22 18:48:37 +00:00

Fred Drake 203b4f1a25 Add an index entry. 
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

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 a468404dda Added a section for the poplib module, contributed by Drew Csillag. 1998-04-24 20:49:02 +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

(Thanks, Just!)
 1998-04-14 17:19:54 +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.

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 2a37455967 It's "Lauder", not "Lauders"! 1998-04-11 13:48:26 +00:00

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

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

Guido van Rossum ae2be7144d Correct definition of CTIME. 1998-04-08 22:44:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 2764dd33cf Separate sections on anydbm and dumbdbm. 
This is the last separation; each module now gets its own section.  This will
be useful in performing conversions.
 1998-04-07 22:08:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e729ec31a Caught a few more spurious \setindexsubitem macros.... 1998-04-07 22:06:41 +00:00

noted that the original algorithm produces 4-character results rather than
the 6-character results provided by this module.
 1998-04-07 19:58:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 396b827a93 Minor markup nit. 1998-04-07 19:17:27 +00:00
