 2002-02-15 04:12:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bc6f7ac7b Consistently use \textasciicircum to produce a ^ character. 
LaTeX really falls flat on this one!
 2002-02-14 15:19:30 +00:00
Fred Drake c121745fda Update the instructions on reporting bugs to reflect that anonymous reports 
are no longer accepted.
 2002-02-04 21:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake baf43c5036 When linking to an index page, explicitly name index.html instead of 
using "./".  The later does not work nicely when browsing docs on a local
disk (as in the installed docs on Windows).
 2002-02-04 21:15:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 210d3cca86 Update version number to match Include/patchlevel.h.

Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux 
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
 2002-02-01 11:27:43 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c318260a71 added handle_error method description 2002-01-31 17:32:24 +00:00
Tim Peters c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows. 
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.
 2002-01-30 05:49:46 +00:00
Fred Drake c26467d53f Revise cheeseshop example so that the order of the keyword output is

Michael W. Hudson 8fbd4a3e78 That hasn't been my email address for a while! 2002-01-16 14:55:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4f3a62d9bc There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of 
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.

This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes

This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
 2002-01-15 19:21:05 +00:00

Guido van Rossum c33e077838 SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password 
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password.  This avoids
privacy violations.
 2001-12-28 20:54:28 +00:00

Fred Drake fd7f115a0e Fix wrongly-named formal parameters in three places: begin_y was used twice 
instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin().
Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss.

described in the index.
 2001-12-26 22:08:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 7fa4ec5498 Added another name. 2001-12-26 22:08:35 +00:00
Fred Drake ab2dc1d730 Added index entries similar to some recommended by Skip, and used the word 
"interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to
find.
This closes SF bug #487165.
Bugfix: this should be applied for Python 2.2.1.
 2001-12-26 20:06:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d422662ad Make this do the right thing with entries which start with the percent sign, 
in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.

Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index.  This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
 2001-12-26 19:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake ef338ec5f9 More index entries. 2001-12-26 19:48:43 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying 
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
 2001-12-08 18:02:58 +00:00
