Fred Drake 8b3a7b58b9 Move the \mailheader description to the right place. 
Clarify the \mimetype description; it can be used to refer to a part of a
MIME type name, so \mimetype{text} or \mimetype{plain} can be used, not
just \mimetype{text/plain}.

Fred Drake a6a885b6aa Start making some markup adjustments; Barry has indicated he will work on 
this before we finish the integration, along with some restructuring.

Barry Warsaw 5e634638e6 The email package documentation, currently organized the way I think 
Fred prefers.  I'm not sure I like this organization, so it may change.

Fred Drake c0765c2381 Minor changes. 2001-09-25 16:32:02 +00:00
Fred Drake c825280ea5 Revise the example to be more resiliant in the face of continued use after 
the object has been pickled; don't mutate the instance dict in the
__getstate__() method.  Other minor changes for style.  Broke up the
displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for
typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example.

This closes SF bug #453914.

This closes SF patch #461337.
 2001-09-25 15:48:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 74f1a563ff Fix a URL (closing SF patch #462195). 
Cleaned up a bunch of XXX comments containing links to additional
information, replacing them with proper references.
Replaced "MacOS" with "Mac OS", since that's what the style guide says.

Tim Peters 8a9c284437 Make difflib.ndiff() and difflib.Differ.compare() generators. This 
restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing
output before the entire comparison is complete.
 2001-09-22 21:30:22 +00:00
Tim Peters e0b2d7ac9a Add a function to compute a class's method resolution order. This is 
easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and
different approaches are needed "depending".  The function will allow
later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.
 2001-09-22 06:10:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 038d26410d Note that files are iterable; describe what the iterator returns.

 2001-09-21 21:12:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 13af42822c Exceptions in interactive examlpes did not always include the indication of 
the source file using "in ?".

Added a description of the bare "raise" statement.

is part of a response to SF bug #443559.

Guido van Rossum 83eeef4b06 SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks: 
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
   that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
   pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
   turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
   On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
   that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
   encountered in the path.

   Example:
   >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
   '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

Andrew M. Kuchling 1efd7ad88e Add support for SMTP TLS 2001-09-14 16:19:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f7fcf5eea6 SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplib 
This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
   over TLS) to the smtplib module:

   - A starttls() function
   - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and
     files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject
   - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
     of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
 2001-09-14 16:08:44 +00:00
Fred Drake b9a96282f1 Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profile 
and trace functions; this now declares that None will be passed for the
"call" event.
This closes SF bug/suggestion #460315.
