Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

(Very rough.)

time finding the bindings.

Fred Drake 859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions

level.  He found this confusing.

Fred Drake 9329e5ec75 Remove "_" from the P_* symbols used with the spawn*() functions. 1999-02-16 19:40:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.
1999-02-03 16:32:37 +00:00

everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00

ways to do it previously (not counting module names).
1998-02-09 20:27:12 +00:00
