Raymond Hettinger 29c6a79b7d Cover string.Template in the tutorial's library tour. 2004-09-14 05:21:42 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers 6ab4b99f95 Patch #1025795: clarify language in Data Structures chapter of tutorial: 
- Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well,
  intentional randomness).
- Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look
  like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on.
- Minor language tweaks in the vicinity.

Thanks Dima Dorfman!

Raymond Hettinger d3b0babf66 SF bug #1013760: Error in Chapter 4 of Tutorial 
Fit a nit.
 2004-08-22 15:24:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger d3fe2395b4 Minor improvements to the threading introduction: 
* Expand the example to show a join.

* Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational
  thread.

* Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches
  to synchonization.

* Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter.  This is a
  more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and
  in a section on extending and embedding.

Raymond Hettinger 43b5e40795 * Fix markup. 
* Fix entry order:
  -  >>> before ...
  - __slots__ in the S section (like __future__ is in the F section)

Need to test the repaired(?) link to Guido's webpage.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.
 2003-09-27 20:19:02 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is 
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
