They're present regardless of whether nested scopes are used.

Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer 
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.
 2001-01-04 15:11:48 +00:00

Thomas Wouters 8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it 
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the

Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

 2000-12-11 22:39:24 +00:00
Fred Drake c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX): 
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
 2000-12-07 04:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c47559352 Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should only 
implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.

<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
 2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:

is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
