Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.

Fred Drake 1717ba498f Normalize markup. 1998-07-02 19:36:50 +00:00

Fred Drake 3f6034dcce Added index entry. 1998-07-02 19:33:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 91e5211bbf Added \deprecated to exit_thread() function. 
Reflects Guido's revision.
 1998-07-02 19:33:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e54abe92e Fix the \kbd definition so it didn't leave the courier face on. 1998-07-01 14:49:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands 
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.
 1998-07-01 14:10:52 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system. 
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
 1998-07-01 13:58:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf51dacfb8 Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods. 1998-06-30 16:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp". 
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.

Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit... 
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
 1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists. 
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
 1998-06-30 15:56:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9c59ce9b5a Documented os.linesep (line separator). 1998-06-30 15:54:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd90509d58 As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(), 
article().

 1998-06-29 22:48:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 002f7aae08 Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files. 1998-06-28 19:16:38 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 8668e8e49c Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modules 
cmd, multifile and smtplib.
 1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also 
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
 1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional; 
it's already decribed that way in the description.
 1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d4a54da32 Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it 
to pypaper.sty.

Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
 1998-06-22 17:50:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 44c413b05e Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font, 
like any other header.
 1998-06-22 17:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e7c82648f Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that the 
.dvi files are properly dependent on it.
 1998-06-22 17:14:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between 
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
 1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it 
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
 1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
 1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have 
the empty prompt.
 1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by 
locals().
 1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file 
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
 1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to 
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
 1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 872948350f Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR. 1998-06-16 22:27:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 60f2f0cf8e Lots of changes to get this in sync with the Frame version. 
Added raw strings, imaginary literals, assert and exec (!) keywords, a
table about Resererved classes of identifiers, and more.
 1998-06-15 18:00:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0bd3795d6a Two small additions to make it identical to the obsolete Frame version. 1998-06-15 16:27:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dc1dab18a5 NewNew abstract, copied from the obsolete Frame version. 1998-06-15 16:27:09 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 444d0f87c9 Eric Raymond: added doc for isheader(); improved docs for constructor. 1998-06-11 13:50:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1299100324 Document the changes I just checked in. 1998-06-10 21:34:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e5fe422cc Document several variables that were previously undocumented, 
including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__.
Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
 1998-06-10 17:57:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer 
(all with index entries!).  Also update the list of functions that
take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
 1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d23758be7 Added docs for strptime(). 1998-06-09 16:30:56 +00:00
