Thomas Heller f5af05a211 Tutorial: 
Clarify somewhat how parameters are passed to functions
    (especially explain what integer means).

    Correct the table - Python integers and longs can both be used.
    Further clarification to the table comparing ctypes types, Python
    types, and C types.

Reference:

    Replace integer by C ``int`` where it makes sense.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.

Neal Norwitz bfa5f0bb5d SF bug #1539336, distutils example code missing 2006-08-13 00:20:49 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 8a87f5d37e Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping. 
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments.  This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward.  I don't want this to hold up release if possible.

I don't have LaTeX installed on this machine, so haven't verified that the
markup is correct.  Will check tonight, or maybe the automatic doc build will
tell me.

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 fbdeaad069 expunge the xmlcore changes: 
41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

Andrew M. Kuchling e49741d412 [Bug #1528258] Mention that the 'data' argument can be None. 
The constructor docs referred the reader to the add_data() method's docs,
but they weren't very helpful.  I've simply copied an earlier explanation
of 'data' that's more useful.

Phillip J. Eby f7575d0cb7 Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance 
with PEP 302.  This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.

Andrew M. Kuchling 9d93341489 [Patch #1529811] Correction to description of r|* mode 2006-07-28 12:07:12 +00:00
Tim Peters 750c4420a8 Live with that "the hardware address" is an ill-defined 
concept, and that different ways of trying to find "the
hardware address" may return different results.  Certainly
true on both of my Windows boxes, and in different ways
(see whining on python-dev).
 2006-07-28 04:51:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 00decd7835 Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py, 
inspect.py, and pydoc.py.  Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.

This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType.  Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor().  The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.

The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.

I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:

1. Silence is assent.  The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
   people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".

2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
   forcing function. :)

Windows build patches will follow.
