Fred Drake 35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances 
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by
Andrew Dalke.

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.

now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

 2000-05-23 16:46:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 7cb42cd070 From Greg Ward <gward@python.net>:

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

Fred Drake 2d54523551 Section "The Module's Method Table and Initialization Function":

        <crum@dev-group.com>.
 2000-05-10 20:33:18 +00:00

 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 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

Diaz Jimenez <diazjimenez@ctv.es>.
 2000-05-03 15:11:47 +00:00

        that was made in the specified version.

Fred Drake a6e8339e61 \versionchanged: Added optional parameter for explanation of change. 2000-05-02 17:28:36 +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

Made the attributes more XHTML-friendly.
 2000-04-28 17:43:12 +00:00
Greg Ward e78298a6bd Stripped leading 'sec:' from all section labels -- generates bad filenames, 
bad link URLs in HTML, etc.
 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!
 2000-04-28 17:09:17 +00:00
Greg Ward 3abb104356 Added the Distutils manuals. 2000-04-28 17:05:41 +00:00

Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline 
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)
 2000-04-27 18:32:02 +00:00
