Benjamin Peterson 9179dab3f4 data descriptors do not override the class dictionary if __get__ is not defined
Adjust documentation and add a test to verify this behavior.

Nick Coghlan a510748085 Issue 643841: better documentation of the special method lookup process, especially for new-style classes. Also removes the warnings about not being authoritative for new-style classes - the language reference actually covers those fairly well now (albeit in a fashion that isn't always particularly easy to follow). 2008-08-04 12:40:59 +00:00
Georg Brandl 3de1e69dc7 #3323: mention that if inheriting from a class without __slots__,
the subclass will have a __dict__ available too.

Jeffrey Yasskin 2f3c16be73 Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.

Georg Brandl b19be571e0 Some cleanup in the docs. 2007-12-29 10:57:00 +00:00
Georg Brandl 7c3e79f67f Make "hashable" a glossary entry and clarify docs on __cmp__, __eq__ and __hash__.
I hope the concept of hashability is better understandable now.
Thanks to Tim Hatch for pointing out the flaws here.
