Barry Warsaw 463c5a868f Update get_param() description to reflect changes to the docstring. 2003-08-19 04:26:59 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py: 
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.
 2003-08-17 08:34:09 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ceb29e4a5 Incorporate documentation suggestions from feedback on comp.lang.python. 
* Positive wording for the description of why < and > and = can all
  be False.

* Move to a three column table format that puts long method names
  side-by-side with their operator equivalents

* Mention that KeyError can be raised by Set.pop() and Set.remove().

* Minor tweaks to the examples.

Will backport as soon as Fred rebuilds the docs so I can confirm
the tables formatted properly

Raymond Hettinger 4ee2ff36d0 Clarified that TypeErrors can be raised by any 
function (not just builtins).

The issue arose in a thread on comp.lang.python.
 2003-08-04 08:33:50 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger eaef615116 As discussed on python-dev, changed builtin.zip() to handle zero arguments

SF patch #764594.
 2003-07-17 04:22:44 +00:00
Skip Montanaro bfa6872260 Zap the C API subsection altogether for now. It's not actually usable from 
C yet anyway.
 2003-07-16 21:14:35 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2491cd98c4 expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In 
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.
 2003-07-16 19:46:07 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would 
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.
 2003-07-16 19:25:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 853276e16d Lots of markup cleanups to avoid warnings from the GNU info generation; 
these make sense even without that processing chain.
 2003-07-16 17:58:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 788617f8f0 Remove \versionchanged; the text was too complex for the GNU info 
conversion to support.  Keep the content as normal content, with a
note that this applies starting in Python 2.3.

SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).
 2003-06-27 21:43:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest 
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

Jeremy Hylton c428112d29 Rename lib__future__.tex to libfuture.tex and add link in lib.tex. 2003-05-28 11:57:52 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith 5772513f0f Include a link to the pybsddb web documentation for the modern object 
oriented DbEnv & Db object BerkeleyDB interface.

Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to
distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

Neal Norwitz 06c7b62a83 Fix markup 2003-04-11 18:48:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a1ce93f87c From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html 
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__

- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1.  It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter.  Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.

- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor.  The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode.  For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.

The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.

Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False.  Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().

- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.

Michael W. Hudson 9c20615d4f Back in June in revision 1.98 Steve (accidentally, presumably) wiped 
out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).

I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:

    revision 1.97
    date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13;  author: nnorwitz
    Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
    Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
    I've seen \constant{True} in other places.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.95
    date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43;  author: bwarsaw
    Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file()
    constructor, vetted by Barry.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.94
    date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15;  author: rhettinger
    Patch 543387.  Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.93
    date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25;  author: rhettinger
    Added missing index entries for mapping methods.  Closes patch
    #548693.

some checking may be in order.
