- fix an internal section reference
2006-07-30 05:55:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 21731118af remove possibly-outdated comment on what GUI toolkit is most commonly used;
it is hard to know whether this is right, and it does not add valuable reference information
at any rate

Neal Norwitz 175001db9e If the executable doesn't exist, there's no reason to try to start it.
This prevents garbage about command not found being printed on Solaris.

by Andrew McNamara in <http://python.org/sf/1465014>.

Fred Drake 45540b0922 SF bug #1193966: Weakref types documentation misplaced
The information about supporting weakrefs with types defined in C extensions
is moved to the Extending & Embedding manual.  Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS is
no longer mentioned since it is part of Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.

Andrew M. Kuchling 9964fdb466 [Patch #1068277] Clarify that os.path.exists() can return False depending on permissions. Fred approved committing this patch in December 2004! 2006-07-29 19:50:37 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 2fde3bda8c Disable these tests until they are reliable across platforms.
These problems may mask more important, real problems.

One or both methods are known to fail on: Solaris, OpenBSD, Debian, Ubuntu.
They pass on Windows and some Linux boxes.

Fred Drake 9297e16907 restore test un-intentionally removed in the xmlcore purge (revision 50941) 2006-07-29 18:19:19 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

Fred Drake fbdeaad069 expunge the xmlcore changes:
41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

Andrew M. Kuchling c032ee939b Set bug/patch count. Take a bow, everyone! 2006-07-29 16:08:40 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling e49741d412 [Bug #1528258] Mention that the 'data' argument can be None.
The constructor docs referred the reader to the add_data() method's docs,
but they weren't very helpful.  I've simply copied an earlier explanation
of 'data' that's more useful.

Phillip J. Eby f7575d0cb7 Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance
with PEP 302.  This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.
