Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
...
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).
This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard
input."

b9ad228798
Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from

Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

c8da0f966f
Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a

2001-03-23 17:09:02 +00:00
3e8f921fb9
Lots of small changes to make this work with the Python DOM bindings
...
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.
Only write the output file on success -- this avoids updating the timestamp
on the file on failure, which confuses "make".
2001-03-23 17:01:47 +00:00
2262a80fb3
Pick up the "encode" function from esistools instead of defining our own
...
(broken) version.

...
statement".
2001-03-23 16:47:11 +00:00
f6c115ff2f
Re-write to no longer depend on an old version of PyXML. This now
...
implements a SAX XMLReader interface instead of the old Builder interface
used with PyDOM (now obsolete).
This only depends on the standard library, not PyXML.
2001-03-23 16:42:08 +00:00
a4699a71b8
Pick the "escape" function from the standard library instead of from PyXML.

Add sys.excepthook.
...
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back

(Based on reader comment!)
2001-03-08 22:46:41 +00:00
9eb41557ef
Add more font flavors for <var> elements; the previous incarnation caused
...
some NT/IE5.5 users to see only boxes for these characters. This might be
specific to NT Service Pack 6.

2001-03-06 07:22:16 +00:00
67fdaa4883
Correct typos in Ping's email address.
...
Remove premature use of negative indexes in string operation examples;
negative indexes have not been explained at that point, and the use of
negative indexes are not necessary for the examples.
