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.

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.

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

Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline

Noted by Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>.

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 c35367e439 Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the 
new markup makes sense in context).

These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.

notation.  Problem reported by Magnus L. Hetland <mlh@idt.ntnu.no>.
 1999-02-23 18:50:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 264bd59221 1. Clarify that immutability isn't entirely the same as unchangeable 
value (because of immutable containers containing mutable objects).

2. Document that func_code, func_defaults and func_doc / __doc__ are
now writable.

Guido van Rossum c85be6a0ff Fix another oldie (item (b) only): 
Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.

Guido van Rossum 47e09c43fd Change the date to March 6, 1998. 
Migration to Frame 5.5.

Checking in the PDF file.  (This is questionable -- but we check in the
Postscript as well.  Perhaps *both* should be removed from the CVS tree,
now everything is unbundled and we're distributing PS and PDF tarballs?)

Note -- the HTML generation using webmaker is currently broken.  I'll
have to look into generating HTML from Frame...
