Fred Drake 3a4ceb707d Several methods return tuples, not lists. 1999-07-07 14:04:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 363d67c2e6 Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section. 
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion).  Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.

in, but it looks o.k. to me know.
 1999-06-29 21:21:19 +00:00

Fred Drake f5213c2a3d Usage nit: a bunch of "nor"s should have been a single "or".

Fred Drake 9e0b6229f6 Comment out XXX comment; this needn't appear in the formatted

 1999-06-29 15:45:09 +00:00

Fred Drake 60b66e1f7b Update to Sjoerd's documentation of the chunk module, with some 
additions from Moshe's version.  Used my table for describing the
chunk format, and added some markup and index entries.
 1999-06-25 17:52:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf6905f986 Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this 
avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same
thing -- they aren't!  (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py
output that defines all the constants).

(XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way
to do locking now.  That's for someone else to fix...)
 1999-06-24 17:58:44 +00:00
