Barry Warsaw 5db478fa29 Proofread and spell checked, all except the Examples section (which 
I'll do next).
 2002-10-01 04:33:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5b9da893d3 Vast update to email version 2. This could surely use proofreading. 2002-10-01 01:05:52 +00:00

 2002-09-24 13:57:21 +00:00
Greg Ward 02669a35bc Tweak description of PortableUnixMailbox: "From " lines are actually 
quoted (or mangled) *at* delivery-time, not "well before" it.  (At least
that's how Exim and qmail work.)
 2002-09-23 19:32:42 +00:00
Thomas Heller c687401337 Fix typos: despatcher -> dispatcher. 2002-09-17 15:19:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c1ddc505d9 Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to 
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.

This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
 2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c12909bcc6 add note about os.path.join and drive letters on Windows. 2002-09-12 17:39:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b7c1895ec5 Fix typo reported by Paul Clifford. 
Note that there is no str.joinfields(), use str.join() instead.
 2002-09-12 14:16:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 73e8ebfc5a Revise text about the level of DOM support, and provide pointers to 
the work of the XML-SIG in the main body of the text.

Modify the markup in a few places to avoid wrapping lines in bad
places, and just general cleanliness.
 2002-09-11 22:03:47 +00:00

Raymond Hettinger 8a64d40949 Fix typo. Close SF Bug 606354. 2002-09-08 22:26:13 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2c0d3224fc tightened up the definition of \b and \B some more based upon discussion 
after the last checkin.
 2002-09-07 18:48:14 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 5ccaf8f129 Apply diff3.txt (plus additional documentation) 
from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192

This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.
 2002-09-06 16:15:58 +00:00

Walter Dörwald 3aeb632c31 PEP 293 implemention (from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/432401) 2002-09-02 13:14:32 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933. 
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...
 2002-08-30 13:09:51 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 9240be2a35 Note change in behavior from 1.5.2. The new argument to NameError is 
an error message and not just the missing name.

Closes SF Bug 599869.
 2002-08-27 23:53:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 80a04a4894 Add strong security warning about the rexec module. 
Closes SF patch #600861.

Minor markup changes.
 2002-08-27 16:46:06 +00:00
Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset 
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
 2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ad09552d0 Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script. 
Closes SF bug 599681.
 2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the 
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.
 2002-08-24 07:33:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 055be47b43 Fix typo reported to python-docs. 2002-08-23 21:19:53 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger fa8dd5f407 Fix markup and punctuation 2002-08-23 18:10:54 +00:00
Tim Peters b81b252fab s/_as_Temporarily_Immutable/_as_temporarily_immutable/g, because the 
latter is what the code actually does.
 2002-08-23 17:48:23 +00:00
Tim Peters 54fd3e6ffc pop(): An arbitrary element is removed, not a random element. 2002-08-23 17:45:43 +00:00
Fred Drake d10c6c949a Adjust the markup in a few places so this will actually format. 
Remove the third column in the tables since it isn't used.

Raymond Hettinger 584cb198f7 Load docs for sets.py 2002-08-23 15:18:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ec486b87a Add a note that apply() is needed since the extended call syntax is 
completely equivalent.
 2002-08-22 14:27:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 61cf4407be Added a main() function and support to run this module as a script. 
Closes SF feature request #588768.
 2002-08-21 20:56:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b09eeea89 Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the 
order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script
should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or
they may not be relevant to the request.
Closes SF bug #596866.
 2002-08-21 19:24:21 +00:00
Fred Drake ffefb1df56 Clarify the endpos argument to the rx.match() method. 
Closes SF bug #597177.
 2002-08-20 13:57:47 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 11b795cd0f Add versionadded for operator.pow 2002-08-19 22:38:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 017778332f Extend some comments on the order of values in the returns from 
dict.items/keys/values/iteritems/iterkeys/itervalues().
 2002-08-19 21:58:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of 
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
 2002-08-19 21:43:18 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 5959c559df Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern of 
all operators having a counterpart in the operator module.

Closes SF bug #577513.
 2002-08-19 03:19:09 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson dd32a91cc0 This is my patch 
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer

Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
 2002-08-15 14:59:02 +00:00

is empty.

the weakreflist to NULL in the constructor and to fill the tp_flags
slot with Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS.  Closes SF bug 586583.
 2002-08-07 16:18:54 +00:00

__nonzero__(), in response to SF bug #579991.
 2002-08-07 15:40:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 95fa4ddf7b Change the markup a bit more; the parameter was not marked as \var in the 
sample code, and the note was marked as a logical thing.
 2002-08-07 12:39:33 +00:00
Steve Holden 63d5bead18 Fix markup errors. 2002-08-07 12:01:41 +00:00

Closes SF bug #586937.
 2002-08-06 21:26:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97c5fccd77 Remove mention of deprecated xreadlines method. 2002-08-06 17:03:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc01865f3 Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method and 
module).  (One thing remains to be done: the gzip class has an
xreadline method; this ought to be replaced by an iterator as well.)
 2002-08-06 17:01:28 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 817918cc3c Committing patch #591250 which provides "str1 in str2" when str1 is a

Skip Montanaro de994d9130 indicate that 'b' is added to the mode flag if not given 2002-08-02 17:20:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 74824584ef Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about 
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").

BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring.  I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.
 2002-08-01 03:10:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b11bdd0ed SF patch #581414: info reader bug 
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.
 2002-07-30 17:51:20 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 0cec0ffc78 Patch #573770: Implement lchown. 2002-07-28 16:33:45 +00:00
Fred Drake db40afaabe Small clarifications when referring to the sys.exc_* variables so that 
readers are not given the wrong impression that they should be using those
on a regualar basis.
This closes SF bug #585598.

apps that can use it.
Closes SF bug #558278.
 2002-07-02 22:34:44 +00:00
Greg Ward 285f4a7db7 Don't list all the keyword args to the TextWrapper constructor in the

between keyword args and instance attributes.

Document 'width' along with the other instance attributes.
