Andrew M. Kuchling a490d59fbb Some other built-in functions are described with 'sequence' arguments 
that should really be 'iterable'; this commit changes them.

Did I miss any?  Did I introduce any errors?

Fred Drake e0d4aecfc2 lots of markup nits, most commonly Unix/unix --> \UNIX 2006-07-30 03:03:43 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred. 
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

Fred Drake 6f42dfce7c - consistency nit: always include "()" in \function and \method 
(*should* be done by the presentation, but that requires changes all over)

Georg Brandl 533ff6fc06 Patch #1434038: property() now uses the getter's docstring if there is 
no "doc" argument given. This makes it possible to legitimately use
property() as a decorator to produce a read-only property.

Raymond Hettinger cb40ba1f5e SF bug #805304: super instances don't support item assignment 
Document a nuance of super().  It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.

Tim Peters feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows 
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function 
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.
