Closes SF bug #586937.

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.)

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>.

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.
