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

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

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!

Add reference to demo directory

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.

2000-12-11 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.

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
