Walter Dörwald 3fa932f7ed Fix typo (from SF bug #1086127). 2004-12-15 23:44:18 +00:00
Tim Peters 7f13cfa674 os.walk(): Changed the "sum of bytes consumed by files" example to use 
a generator expression instead of a listcomp.

Not a backport candidate (genexps are new in 2.4).
 2004-11-22 16:53:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 919a3b40f9 SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong. 
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.

Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.

Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Tim Peters 2cf5e1920b Point out some platform vagaries in stat() and utime(). 
Bugfix candidate (the vagaries aren't new <wink>), but I don't intend to
backport this.

Johannes Gijsbers 9fc9789a0d Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and 
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:

On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).

Martin v. Löwis dc3883f671 Patch #934711: Expose platform-specific entropy. 2004-08-29 15:46:35 +00:00
Tim Peters d6ef19309d SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliability 
Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better
to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv()
docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).

Tim Peters de8332171a SF bug 990749: os constants missing 
A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed
are available on Windows but aren't.  The bug report listed the same 6.
Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly
correct "Availability:" claim.

Tim Peters dbaf04ead6 Straighten out the docs for os.system(); the Unix and Windows behaviors

Bugfix 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.

Tim Peters bf89b3a1f7 walk() docs: Worked "walking" into the description and the text. Added

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!).
