Fred Drake 8307e21a2a Mark the references to module names use \module or \refmodule (the
closing paragraph used \code).

Guido van Rossum 6ed122a334 Important fix mentioned by The Dragon De Monsyne: the sendmail()
method does _not_ disconnect the connection when it throws a
SMTPHeloError!
1999-04-21 16:19:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eda80eae36 Correct spelling of length, discovered by Christian Tismer. 1999-04-21 16:06:27 +00:00
Fred Drake a889add5d6 Oops; minor nit in example: none of the other interactive examples
show the "trailing" prompt, so don't show it here!

Fred Drake ca675e491b do_cmd_funcline(): Remove some bogus generated stuff from the output
(some text was only intended for the index).

Guido van Rossum 743007d2fe Patch by Christian Tismer for Win32, to use FormatMessage() instead of
strerror().  This improves the quality of the error messages.
1999-04-21 15:27:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 085b8121eb Fix some remaining index & consistency nits. (Many data member
references were being omitted from the general index.)
1999-04-21 14:00:29 +00:00
Fred Drake c3fcd6fa0e Added index entry for "file objects"; this is appearantly referenced
somewhere in the Reference Manual, and someone tried to locate it via
the index.  Report on the omission by Stefan Franke
<sfranke@cdc-group.com>.

Just van Rossum eb67a7b980 improved scrollbar delay behavior -- jvr 1999-04-21 09:24:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 7ceb5777d7 Added doc for the "module" attribute on the class descriptor objects;
omission repoorted by Glyn Webster <glyn@ninz.org.nz>.

Guido van Rossum 79d4398c30 For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
foo_bar_event().  Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
the example.

Guido van Rossum a670d0c97b Restored the original IDLE color scheme. 1999-04-20 15:58:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7de697597e Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat) 1999-04-20 15:45:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cfb819ee51 Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
m.span() call).
1999-04-20 15:00:00 +00:00
Fred Drake ad56dafd62 Added example use of pack_list() to help explain the pack_item
parameter.  Lack of clarity reported by Matthew Gallagher
<hew@hons.cs.usyd.edu.au>.
1999-04-20 13:41:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 068d5724d8 Calling _cleanup() does not guarantee that all processes have
terminated; this makes the final assert in the self-test code fail if
the parent runs faster than the children.  Fix this by calling wait()
on the remaining children instead.

stripped from return value by GvR.)

Guido van Rossum 1b9e0aae6e Jim Fulton writes:
I have attached a new cPickle that adds a new control attribute
to unpicklers:

  Added new Unpickler attribute, find_global.  If set to None, then
  global and instance pickles are disabled.  Otherwise, it should be set to
  a callable object that takes two arguments, a module name and an
  object name, and returns an object.  If the attribute is unset, then
  the default mechanism is used.

  This feature provides an additional mechanism for controlling which
  classes can be used for unpickling.

Guido van Rossum dc8b569155 Patch from Tim Peters to repare a the problem that tracebacks are off
by a line when Python is run with -x.

Guido van Rossum 9bcd1d7931 Improve text of some error messages, as suggested by Sean Reifschneider. 1999-04-19 17:44:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0cf46bc0f4 Daniel Neri: OpenBSD is just as BSD'ish as the other BSD's ;-) 1999-04-19 17:22:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae84e8d0f6 Patch by Drew Csillag for FreeBSD's sh, which doesn't automatically
join \-terminated lines.

Guido van Rossum a7379d9a34 Avoid triggering Alpha OSF/1 specific code on Alpha NT or Linux. 1999-04-19 16:50:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0a2818fe5b A few wishes are now fulfilled. 1999-04-19 16:26:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 17c516eacb Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate (see Help
list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from every other editor
on earth <wink>).

o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old line (pymode
and Codewright).

o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).

o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).

The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings & continuations,
but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing functions to avoid that
in finite time.

Fred Drake e9af64c373 Remove superfluous index entry for posix.popen(); no longer
appropriate since popen() is only documented in os.

Fred Drake f4cbada3f9 Correct documentation for <file>.read(); Python makes a serious
best-effort to return 'size' bytes.  Point out that this may mean
multiple fread() calls.  Reported by Anders Hammarquist
<iko@iko.pp.se> via the Debian crew.
1999-04-14 14:31:53 +00:00
Fred Drake e79f5c1d2b Use the standard stylesheet here as well. 1999-04-14 14:28:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 6ab98325f7 Use the tools/mkdvi.sh script to generate DVI and PDF output for the
library reference now that it's sufficiently capable.
1999-04-14 14:04:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c260c0bcdb Further refinement, to allow this to handle the library reference as
well as the other "manual" documents.
1999-04-14 13:13:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 011f6fca31 Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant
<joakim.sernbrant@front.se>).

Misc. small fixes to the logical markup.
1999-04-14 12:52:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 79d41ccdd3 Add some support for the module index, so this can be used to build
the .aux file for any of the "manual" class documents.
1999-04-14 05:02:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a64b355c1 For now, comment out the \ignorePlatformAnnotation; the global index
doesn't really work with this.
1999-04-13 22:19:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 9444df0844 Don't include the verbatim style; the default handling is better. 1999-04-13 22:17:55 +00:00
