 2000-09-09 03:26:51 +00:00

 2000-09-09 03:23:50 +00:00
Fred Drake d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to 
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.
 2000-09-07 18:55:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 88c023b863 Remove comment about -X and string exceptions. Error noted by

 2000-08-31 19:23:01 +00:00
Fred Drake aef0e890b5 Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies which

Fix minor problem with EXTENDED_ARG description markup..
 2000-08-31 16:26:35 +00:00
Sjoerd Mullender 1c8feae411 New method getnamespace. 
Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation

we provide this method.
 2000-08-31 10:27:00 +00:00
Fred Drake fcab76350a Relocate the popen2 documentation since it is now substantially more

Thomas Wouters 12bba852a9 Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which follows 
shortly. Markup also needs checking.
 2000-08-24 20:06:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3d0c77b37c 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?)
 2000-08-24 16:20:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 45ca3331d9 Move references to RFCs to a "See also" section for consistency with 
other sections of the library reference.

 2000-08-24 01:06:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 093272ea85 Charles G. Waldman <cgw@fnal.gov>:

 2000-08-20 23:33:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 15446d344d Add entry for Cookie module. 2000-08-19 16:55:31 +00:00

Moshe Zadka 1b07f2bcf6 Initial revision. Markup unchecked. 2000-08-19 14:11:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 512bb72fb0 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
described as obsolescent.
 2000-08-18 03:12:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 304faf944c Fix a markup error that caused formatting to fail. 
Lots of minor markup adjustments as well.

Thomas Wouters 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.
 2000-08-17 22:55:00 +00:00
Fred Drake dd611b0070 A little more text, and some really minor cleanups. 2000-08-17 22:31:23 +00:00

Fred Drake b32aa5ecef Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to source 
code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and
is less likely to be available to end users.
 2000-08-17 22:29:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 25699f99f4 Martin v. Loewis <martin@loewis.home.cs.tu-berlin.de>: 
Document opcodes added to support extended call syntax.
 2000-08-17 22:19:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 5772c86816 Document socket.getfqdn(). 2000-08-16 14:21:42 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 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.
 2000-08-15 19:30:36 +00:00
Fred Drake d066f6d780 Fix markup bug that prevented formatting.

Barry Warsaw 0be4346da6 Describe the b2a_hex() and a2b_hex() functions (a.k.a. hexlify() and 
unhexlify() respectively).
 2000-08-15 06:08:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4ef4be53ac Added description of the md5.hexdigest() method. 2000-08-15 06:00:28 +00:00

Fred Drake 107b9679c4 Document the range type, as suggested by Denis S. Otkidach 
<den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>.
 2000-08-14 15:37:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 4de96c2fd8 Added Marc-Andre Lemburg's documentation for string methods, with some 
massaging for markup consistency.  This closes SourceForge patch #101063.

Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types.

Small markup nits elsewhere.
 2000-08-12 03:36:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 0be5aab04d 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
