Fred Drake 08fd51509c When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and the
set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public
names" that describes the use of __all__.
This closes SF bug #473986.

Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().

Fred Drake cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.

Jeremy Hylton 10f8ba4fc6 Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegal
imports.  It checks for them now.

Barry Warsaw 33f785fc1e Document "print >> None" 2000-08-29 04:57:34 +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!

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Fred Drake 011f6fca31 Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant

Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I

space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
