now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

Fred Drake 7cb42cd070 From Greg Ward <gward@python.net>:

Guido van Rossum c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention 
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++).  Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
 2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00

        <crum@dev-group.com>.

 2000-05-09 17:10:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 35784dff6a Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>: 
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.

buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.
