Fred Drake ed51494666 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Guido van Rossum 5fe2c139d5 List constraints on xrange() objects. 2001-07-05 15:27:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().

Tim Peters 4efb6e9643 Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
committed.

tokenize.py:  I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.

tabnanny.py:  Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling.  I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).

inspect.py:  I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version.  The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.

Fred Drake 88e66254f9 Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in an
example.  It actually confused a reader.

Fred Drake 58c95391fa Removed some stray periods, and fix up a number of visible markup

method names).

statement.

Fred Drake deda9f3420 Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding the

version.

Fred Drake 9ca78ac57f Adjust to understand use of either single- or double-quotes to quote
attribute values, and make the logic surrounding the platform

notes appear in the generated page; they were supposed to, but did not.
