Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies which

require authenication. This is an implementation limitation rather than
required behavior, and may be fixed in the future.

New method getnamespace.

Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation
used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them,
we provide this method.

Addresses the other half of Bug #112634 -- the documentation suggested

that you can set self.version *after* calling the base class __init__.
In fact it must be done *before*.
(Fred, maybe the version class variable should be documented now?)

As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()

returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.
In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is

5215225ea1
Apply SF patch #101135 , adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
...
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

caa658d047
Apply SF patch #101151 , by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the

'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.

Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they
...
did the same anyway.
I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
2000-08-11 22:15:52 +00:00

getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will

be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
the options and long_options parameters don't have references that

Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.
Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
