the exception if the key is not in the DB for other DB types.

This closes SF bug #127377.
 2001-01-05 06:44:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as 
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.
 2001-01-04 14:18:55 +00:00

Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists, 
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know

 2000-12-11 15:50:07 +00:00

Fred Drake 16942f2224 Lots of additional information. Not done, but much better. 2000-12-07 04:47:51 +00:00
Fred Drake fd4d29cf5d Typo caught by Jim Tittsler <jwt@onjapan.net>: They --> The 2000-12-07 00:03:24 +00:00

OKed by Guido.
 2000-11-30 12:31:03 +00:00
Fred Drake c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary; 
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
 2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents 
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.
 2000-11-30 07:12:54 +00:00
Fred Drake f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation 
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
 2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API 
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.
 2000-11-29 06:10:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO 
modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.

Fred Drake 6763b31731 Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formatting 
for the HTML version).

Fred Drake 17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note 
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.
 2000-11-17 19:44:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 977fe96a05 Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, and 
breaks things.
 2000-11-17 19:09:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original 
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
 2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00

Fred Drake 19647ca318 Typo: writeable --> writable 
Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
 2000-11-01 03:12:34 +00:00
Fred Drake efffe8e317 Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere, 
and to provide more consistent indexing.

Added an index entry.

Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
 2000-10-29 05:10:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aecfc9681 Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from the 
basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>.

This closes bug #119485.
 2000-10-26 21:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not 
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
 2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dba66cb72 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method 
was added in 2.0.
 2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 8940fafabd Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documenting

Fred Drake 1491cace2a Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre Lemburg 
<mal@lemburg.com>.

Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
 2000-10-25 20:59:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 277a21150b Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module. 2000-10-24 02:35:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 669d36f02c Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>: 
Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API.

FLD:  I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor
details to Paul's text, but that's it.  Given the substantial
structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be
making additional revisions over the next few days.
 2000-10-24 02:34:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 246f65f2bb Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()
