Fred Drake 8c5cedee69 New description for math.frexp() -- poor description noted by 
Francois Pinard.
 2000-05-18 05:07:38 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith 147e5f3c65 Doc patch from Bastein Kleineidam: start to describe the 'install' command 
family, including the new 'install_scripts' and 'install_data' commands.

Guido van Rossum c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention 
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++).  Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
 2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 71260b846e Added math.rint() -- round according to current IEEE754 mode 2000-05-11 18:19:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 65e69002a2 Oops, better also note that the module initialization function must be 
extern "C" for C++.
 2000-05-10 20:36:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d54523551 Section "The Module's Method Table and Initialization Function": 
Explain that the name of the initialization function must be
        init<module>().  Omission noted by Daniel Kozan
        <crum@dev-group.com>.

Fred Drake 625d70a7a6 Fix references to the built-in compile() that don't include the 
filename parameter.  Noted by Randall Hopper <aa8vb@yahoo.com>.
 2000-05-09 17:10:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 35784dff6a Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>: 
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.
 2000-05-09 16:23:23 +00:00

Fred Drake 3d69c0e440 Someone found the examples of poor practice on socket addresses! 
Spotted by Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>.
 2000-05-03 19:40:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>: 
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.
 2000-05-03 15:17:02 +00:00
Fred Drake ae08853fb0 Clarify status of connection of a new instance; it *is* connected if 
you pass server information to the constructor.  Error noted by Pedro
Diaz Jimenez <diazjimenez@ctv.es>.
 2000-05-03 15:11:47 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d67ddbbec1 Eric Raymond: 
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources.  Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename.  The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.

(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
 2000-05-01 20:14:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the 
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
 2000-05-01 16:18:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 40ee7acb95 \file and \filenq should not be used in section titles; they are not 
sufficiently robust to survive the creation of bookmarks in the PDF
format.
 2000-04-28 18:17:23 +00:00

 2000-04-28 17:12:24 +00:00
Greg Ward e9792c4563 When building HTML releases, refer to */*.css and */*.html instead of 
???/*.css and ???/*.html -- need to pick up the Distutils manuals!
