Fred Drake 4973b35991 Remove the reference to stdwin. The comment was still true, but no
longer meaningful to a new user, since stdwin is long gone.

Andrew M. Kuchling 3cdb5761c5 Fix markup error 2000-08-30 12:55:42 +00:00
Fred Drake d576e9df5f Markup revisions. Nothing was actually required to be able to format it,
but many conventions were broken.
2000-08-30 04:19:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 47eceeaaa4 Added a couple of links to online documentation. Reasonable since this
file is not used in the online documentation.

Andrew M. Kuchling 43737641c2 Removed forgotten text in list comprehensions section (taken from the Haskell
description of listcomps and used as inspiration)
Rearranged sections (which accounts for much of the size of the diffs)
Added section on augmented assignment
Mentioned 'print >>file'
Broke up the "Core Changes" section into subsections
2000-08-30 00:51:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 699f98c09a Move a little more here. 2000-08-29 21:57:34 +00:00
Fred Drake fcb8725de5 Add a --style option to allow specifying an alternate CSS style sheet for
HTML generation; the machinery was there but no option to set it was
defined.

Simplify some of the path-math since we can assume a recent version of
Python.

Fred Drake 78430b655f Add a comment noting that the dependency information is stored in
Makefile.deps.

Fred Drake 0308ff8652 Add reference to RFC 2396 in "See also" section.

2000-08-25 17:29:35 +00:00
Fred Drake dfca4dc503 Revised documentation relevant to SourceForge patch #100837
(simplify making HTTP POST requests).

Added documentation of URLopener.version and how it can be overridden.
2000-08-25 05:13:42 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 99a3701618 Documentation for poll() interface (SF patch #100852) 2000-08-25 01:21:28 +00:00
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 04:58:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 9fa4d61bcc Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>:
Documentation updates for urlretrieve() and URLopener.retrieve(), to
reflect Randall Hopper's patch for those functions.

This closes SourceForge patch #100837.
2000-08-24 01:06:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8377f5debf Make sure Thomas Wouters has enough to do. ;-)
(Some of this is in-progress; this also serves as a reminded to me to
check this out once it is written.)
2000-08-24 00:50:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 093272ea85 Charles G. Waldman <cgw@fnal.gov>:
Update the dis module documentation to reflect the EXTENDED_ARG opcode.
2000-08-24 00:37:50 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 323fe5df6a fix list comprehension discussion to use \keyword macro instead of simply
quoting keywords.
2000-08-23 17:03:34 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 297bf7ceb5 update commonprefix doc to make sure user is aware it works
character-by-character and that that behavior may result in it returning
prefixes that are not valid paths
2000-08-23 16:58:32 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 46dfa5f4ed require list comprehensions to start with a for clause 2000-08-22 02:43:07 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9087688581 Describe the new PRINT_ITEM_TO and PRINT_NEWLINE_TO opcodes. 2000-08-21 17:19:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8c0a242289 PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL.
Document the extended print form.  Fred, please double check the
markup!
2000-08-21 15:45:16 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 120beb6b67 Strengthen the warning against using SerialCookie and SmartCookie.
(If they're security holes, should they be documented at all?)
Minor rewrites.
2000-08-20 23:33:50 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.
2000-08-19 20:55:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 15446d344d Add entry for Cookie module. 2000-08-19 16:55:31 +00:00
Fred Drake e5c7352201 Make it format.
Adjust markup for hyperlinking to the relevant RFCs.
Give it a little organization.
Minor nits.
2000-08-19 16:54:57 +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 a00738259f Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will also
stand out more.
2000-08-18 02:42:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 304faf944c Fix a markup error that caused formatting to fail.
Lots of minor markup adjustments as well.
2000-08-18 02:15:55 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 59ecafa526 Mention the new 'import X as Y' syntax 2000-08-17 23:37:01 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 0690c86a2a Document the returns_unicode attribute 2000-08-17 23:15:21 +00:00
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
Thomas Wouters 1d75a79c00 Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.

Fred Drake dd611b0070 A little more text, and some really minor cleanups. 2000-08-17 22:31:23 +00:00
Fred Drake e581bb30c4 Small cleanups, and note when zip() entered the menagerie. 2000-08-17 22:30:30 +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>:
