Raymond Hettinger 29c6a79b7d Cover string.Template in the tutorial's library tour. 2004-09-14 05:21:42 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers 6ab4b99f95 Patch #1025795: clarify language in Data Structures chapter of tutorial:
- Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well,
  intentional randomness).
- Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look
  like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on.
- Minor language tweaks in the vicinity.

Thanks Dima Dorfman!

Raymond Hettinger d3fe2395b4 Minor improvements to the threading introduction:
* Expand the example to show a join.

* Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational
  thread.

* Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches
  to synchonization.

* Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter.  This is a
  more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and
  in a section on extending and embedding.
