 2003-05-08 10:32:10 +00:00

Brett Cannon 066f3928b2 Library documentation for the 'test' package. Still needs to be checked by Fred. 2003-05-07 22:02:17 +00:00
Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types. 
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c

 2003-05-03 20:41:37 +00:00
Greg Ward 1f53517a8c Use True/False instead of 1/0 when talking about store_true/store_false. 
Particularly important since they now store True and False rather than 1
and 0!
 2003-05-03 20:13:08 +00:00
Greg Ward c50b088cfd Add a big comment about cross-platform issues (especially OpenBSD).

etc.
 2003-05-03 19:45:47 +00:00

Fred Drake 8b34e7cc40 - add title attributes to the navigation icons on the navigation bars; 
this causes some browsers to offer descriptive tooltips when the
  mouse hovers over the linked icon
- clean up the code in this area
 2003-05-03 02:07:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 05404c3d7c add link types for the remaining links in the navigation panels 2003-05-02 20:30:18 +00:00

  link types; those work fine with tools like the Mozilla Site
  Navigation Bar
 2003-05-02 20:18:01 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 341deb74e7 The previous made the stop argument optional. 
It is better to be explicit and just allow stop to be None.
 2003-05-02 19:44:20 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 14ef54cd83 SF bug #730685: itertools.islice stop argument is not optional

example still doesn't come out quite right: a bug in the formatting
tools
 2003-04-30 15:03:46 +00:00
Fred Drake d4be747e1e - comment out \moduleauthor that broke formatting until the formatting

Raymond Hettinger 6e887bb05f SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement 
A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a
case that used only short options or long options but not both.
He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.

Revised the example to point him in the right direction.

Backport candidate.

Tim Peters 5501b5e3d7 SF bug 728097: tmpnam problems on windows 2.3b, breaks test.test_os. 
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong.  Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details.  Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.

Bugfix candidate.
 2003-04-28 03:13:03 +00:00
Tim Peters bf89b3a1f7 walk() docs: Worked "walking" into the description and the text. Added 
a brief example where bottom-up walking is essential.

Fred Drake 2194a4eede markup adjustments 2003-04-25 14:50:06 +00:00
Tim Peters c4e0940042 New generator os.walk() does a bit more than os.path.walk() does, and 
seems much easier to use.  Code, docs, NEWS, and additions to test_os.py
(testing this sucker is a bitch!).
 2003-04-25 07:11:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 47dfa4a89a Patch by Jp Calderone: 
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
  for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
  See SF patch #658327.

This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).
