Chris Ryland.
 2001-01-22 17:46:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab782dd6cc Document rich comparisons. 2001-01-18 15:17:06 +00:00

Fred Drake 347a62505c Steve Holden <sholden@holdenweb.com>: 
Clarify the handling of characters following backslashes in raw strings.
 2001-01-09 21:38:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer 
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.
 2001-01-04 15:11:48 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 48c2eb9165 Document the NotImplemented object. 2001-01-04 01:25:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 2cba0f641f Improve description of else clause of the try/except/else statement. 
This closes (again!) bug #127098.
 2001-01-02 19:22:48 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it 
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the
'or continue' should be removed ;P

Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

Andrew M. Kuchling 68abe832b9 Fix typo 2000-12-19 14:09:21 +00:00

Thomas Wouters dc90cc2b15 Additional docs for __iadd__ and family, closing SF bug #117178 and SF patch 
#102169.
 2000-12-11 23:11:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a22200ab4 Adjust explanation of operator precedence summary -- exponentiation groups 
from right to left!

Closes bug #125391.
 2000-12-11 22:39:24 +00:00
Fred Drake c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX): 
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
 2000-12-07 04:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c47559352 Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should only 
implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.
 2000-12-07 04:49:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ac000cd54 Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process. 2000-11-22 16:42:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original 
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
 2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>: 
Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.
 2000-09-21 22:27:16 +00:00
Fred Drake d68442b164 Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef Lannert 
<lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 22:01:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 31575ce817 Note that __getitem__() may receive a slice object as the index; 
reported by Detlef Lannert <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 05:28:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d27f898b2 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>: 
Document the __contains__() method.
(Patch slightly modified by FLD.)

This closes SourceForge patch #101387.
 2000-09-19 18:21:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 1156f62348 Many small clarifications, including many suggested by email. 2000-09-19 18:10:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 31f5550fbe Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>: 
Reference manual docs for augmented assignment.

This closes SourceForge patch #101418.
 2000-09-12 20:32:18 +00:00
Skip Montanaro b655939d69 add index entries for list comprehensions 2000-09-11 16:31:55 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 33f785fc1e Document "print >> None" 2000-08-29 04:57:34 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 12bba852a9 Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which follows 
shortly. Markup also needs checking.
 2000-08-24 20:06:04 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 323fe5df6a fix list comprehension discussion to use \keyword macro instead of simply 
quoting keywords.
 2000-08-23 17:03:34 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 46dfa5f4ed require list comprehensions to start with a for clause 2000-08-22 02:43:07 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8c0a242289 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
Thomas Wouters 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
Fred Drake a00738259f Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will also 
stand out more.
 2000-08-18 02:42:14 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 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
Thomas Wouters 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
Fred Drake d341579178 Fix error made in applying Thomas's patch. 2000-08-15 18:44:10 +00:00
Fred Drake a1e214a1ed Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>: 
Update the grammar to reflect the most recent changes to list
comprehensions.
 2000-08-15 17:54:49 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 803d6e5451 list comprehensions. see 
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100654&group_id=5470

for details.
 2000-08-12 18:09:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d83fc3ab1 Change as suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>: 
Create a hyperlink between the language reference and documentation for
the built in functions.
 2000-07-31 20:08:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the 
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.
 2000-07-16 19:05:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 91826ed2a9 Improve the descriptions of expected exceptions for __getitem__(), 
__setitem__(), and __delitem__().  Based on related comments from
Barry Warsaw.
 2000-07-13 04:57:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 7399b9e6e4 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>: 
Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline.  This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).

Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
 2000-07-11 19:43:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 191a28218f Typo: "This table table" -> "This table is" 
Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>.
 2000-07-06 00:50:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances 
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by
Andrew Dalke.

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.
 2000-06-28 20:15:47 +00:00
Fred Drake e57a11441e Fix markup error that hid a tilde character; reported long ago by 
Carl Feynman <carlf@abinitio.com>.
 2000-06-15 20:07:25 +00:00
Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline 
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)
 2000-04-27 18:32:02 +00:00
Fred Drake c009d198db Removed some extraneous and confusing parenthesized expressions. 
Noted by Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>.
 2000-04-25 21:09:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b3ce9e099 But don't do the funny \UNICODE macro; we're trying to get away from 
those markups!  <with-mixed-feelings>
 2000-04-06 14:00:14 +00:00
Fred Drake f0aff8e759 Patch from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>: 
Added Unicode type to the language reference.
 2000-04-06 13:57:21 +00:00

Fred Drake e15eb35fd0 Use \citetitle as appropriate. 1999-11-10 16:13:25 +00:00
Fred Drake a24f7b759a Use \programopt in one place. 1999-11-09 17:03:45 +00:00
