Raymond Hettinger 3801ec7ff3 Document that __cmp__() is not defined for sets.
Note, that list.sort() is undefined for lists of sets.
Add the ... prompt to the example so it runs in doctest.

Raymond Hettinger 6fe1299b09 SF bug #652888: bad documentation for the "type" builtin
Clarified that not all types are included.  The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.

Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.

Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

Tim Peters 003720235b Massive fiddling to reflect that datetimetz and timetz no longer exist.
WARNING:  It would be a minor miracle if the LaTeX stuff still worked.

s/field/member/ generally everywhere, to conform with most other usage in
the docs.

s/daylight savings time/daylight saving time/ generally everywhere,
because the latter spelling is anally correct.

Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch
661092.
2003-01-02 20:51:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).
