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
47eceeaaa4
Added a couple of links to online documentation. Reasonable since this
...
file is not used in the online documentation.

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

Move a little more here.
2000-08-29 21:57:34 +00:00
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.
2000-08-29 18:15:05 +00:00

2000-08-25 05:13:42 +00:00

2000-08-25 01:21:28 +00:00
12bba852a9
Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which follows
...
shortly. Markup also needs checking.
2000-08-24 20:06:04 +00:00
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
45ca3331d9
Move references to RFCs to a "See also" section for consistency with

other sections of the library reference.

This closes SourceForge patch #100837 .

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.)

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
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
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
15446d344d
Add entry for Cookie module.

Minor nits.

Initial revision. Markup unchecked.

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

Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will also

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
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.
2000-08-17 22:37:32 +00:00

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.

Apply SF patch #101151 , by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the
...
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.

In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought up
...
by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions. It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.
This closes SourceForge bug #111520 .

Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they
...
did the same anyway.
I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?

getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will
...
be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
are easily misinterpreted.
Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.
Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
2000-08-11 19:55:06 +00:00
