Nick Coghlan	82358691f7	Issue 2235: document the ability to block inheritance of __hash__ in the language reference	2008-08-31 13:10:50 +00:00
Georg Brandl	c176814d82	#3716: fix typo.	2008-08-30 09:52:44 +00:00
Brett Cannon	9329846f00	Fix markup for various binary operation examples where the operands were bolded ... and the operator was made literal, leading to non-valid reST. Changed to have the entire expression just be a literal bit of text.	2008-08-14 05:55:18 +00:00
Nick Coghlan	a510748085	Issue 643841: better documentation of the special method lookup process, especially for new-style classes. Also removes the warnings about not being authoritative for new-style classes - the language reference actually covers those fairly well now (albeit in a fashion that isn't always particularly easy to follow).	2008-08-04 12:40:59 +00:00
Georg Brandl	3de1e69dc7	#3323: mention that if inheriting from a class without __slots__, ... the subclass will have a __dict__ available too.	2008-07-19 13:09:42 +00:00
Georg Brandl	e9135ba79d	#2147: PEP 237 changes to overflow behavior.	2008-05-11 10:55:59 +00:00
Georg Brandl	3fbe20c01e	Add docs for __func__ and __self__ on methods.	2008-03-21 19:20:21 +00:00
Georg Brandl	63cdb867f0	#2003: fix sentence.	2008-02-03 12:29:00 +00:00
Georg Brandl	3ccb49afed	Clarify metaclass docs and add example.	2008-01-07 19:17:10 +00:00
Georg Brandl	81de0d24d5	#1582: document __reversed__, patch by Mark Russell.	2008-01-06 16:17:56 +00:00
Georg Brandl	6265833d91	Simplify index entries; fix #1712.	2008-01-05 19:29:45 +00:00
Jeffrey Yasskin	2f3c16be73	Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just ... the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361, r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.	2008-01-03 02:21:52 +00:00
Georg Brandl	b19be571e0	Some cleanup in the docs.	2007-12-29 10:57:00 +00:00
Georg Brandl	7c3e79f67f	Make "hashable" a glossary entry and clarify docs on __cmp__, __eq__ and __hash__. ... I hope the concept of hashability is better understandable now. Thanks to Tim Hatch for pointing out the flaws here.	2007-11-02 20:06:17 +00:00
Georg Brandl	a739503881	Add :term:s for "new-style class".	2007-10-21 12:15:05 +00:00
Georg Brandl	63fa168326	Unify "byte code" to "bytecode". Also sprinkle :term: markup for it.	2007-10-21 10:24:20 +00:00
Georg Brandl	5768d577d3	Backport from Py3k: Bug #1684991: explain lookup semantics for __special__ methods (new-style classes only).	2007-09-05 13:36:44 +00:00
Georg Brandl	3761422749	Bug #1758696: more info about descriptors.	2007-08-23 21:42:54 +00:00
Georg Brandl	8d9e84554e	Bug #1697820: document that the old slice protocol is still used by builtin types.	2007-08-23 20:35:00 +00:00
Georg Brandl	8ec7f65613	Move the 2.6 reST doc tree in place.	2007-08-15 14:28:01 +00:00
