Skip Montanaro 78bace7442 add cp866 row 2004-07-02 02:14:34 +00:00
Brett Cannon d88471f432 Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const 
char *`` instead of just ``char *``.  Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.

Closes bug #980925.

Andrew M. Kuchling 6d3a0d2dff [Bug #948970] Add PyExc_* symbols to index.

Brett Cannon 289e4cba1c Changed applicable use of ``char *`` declarations that are passed into 
PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in
section 1.3 and to support better coding habits.

Section 1.8 ("Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions") and it's coding
example were not touched since it is stems from an accredited source and thus
did not want to step on anyone's toes.
 2004-06-29 03:48:23 +00:00

If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.

Raymond Hettinger 354433a59d SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation 
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)

The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon.  Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).

The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch.  Further additions are
welcome from everyone.  Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Fred Drake 04d92c37f2 Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there 
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The

at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date.  ;-(
