 2002-06-10 19:23:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 1f89e2abcc Fix markup error that suppressed space.

Fred Drake 4dfb7a81c1 Explain that os.spawn*() return the process handle on Windows. 
Clarify that os.waitpid() on Windows takes a process handle, not a process ID.
This closes SF bug #537582.
 2002-04-01 23:30:47 +00:00
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
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 5c7983113c Add a reference to the signal module to the os.kill() description. 
This closes SF bug #495609.
 2001-12-21 03:58:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 8c8e871530 Fix the availability statement for the spawn*() functions to reflect the 
actual availability on Windows.
This fixes SF bug #495191.
 2001-12-20 17:24:11 +00:00
Tim Peters b404145936 s/it/if/ in descriptions of spawn mode argument. 2001-12-06 23:37:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 6995bb61b6 Various cleanups & markup fixes, mostly relating to the stat and statvfs 
result object changes.
 2001-11-29 20:48:44 +00:00
Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
 2001-11-28 07:26:15 +00:00
Fred Drake db7287c0f5 Straighten out the exec*() function descriptions a bit, and clarify a few 
points in the spawn*() description.
 2001-10-18 18:58:30 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis c405133fce Elaborate on types and meaning of the setgroups arguments. 2001-10-18 14:07:12 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 61c5edf6fc Expose setgroups. Fixes feature request #468116. 2001-10-18 04:06:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 938a8d723c Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*() 
functions to include information about how they affect the operation of
those functions when used as the "mode" parameter.
This closes SF bug #468384.

Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem.  These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.
 2001-10-09 18:07:04 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 244edc8985 Add chroot call. Implements feature #459267. 2001-10-04 22:44:26 +00:00
Fred Drake bbf7a407e8 Added note about non-support of UNC paths on Windows. 
This fixes SF bug #465447.
 2001-09-28 16:14:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 098d7fae39 Document clearly that the only way to retrieve the return code from the 
child processes is to use the Popen3 and Popen4 classes.
This fixes SF bug #460512.
 2001-09-11 19:56:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 739282da83 Re-write the description of the os.spawn*() functions, and cover the 
whole family instead of just two.


This closes SF bug #451630.
 2001-08-16 21:21:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a2adcf812 Typo: Added missing "if". 
This is part of SF patch #442788.
 2001-07-23 19:20:56 +00:00
Fred Drake efaef13c81 Update the availability information for os.tempnam(), os.tmpfile(), and 
os.tmpnam().
 2001-07-17 20:39:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ee679f0ce Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:50:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
 2001-07-06 20:30:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of 
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
 2001-06-11 18:25:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 046f4d810d Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added 
a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"
section.

Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.
 2001-06-11 15:21:48 +00:00
Skip Montanaro b9d973dac5 is -> if in rename description 2001-06-04 15:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 81e142b907 Document os.getenv(). 
This closes SF bug #429059.
 2001-05-31 20:27:46 +00:00
Fred Drake dc9e7e42c8 readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either 
absolute or relative.

remove(), rename() descriptions:  Give more information about the cross-
    platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers
    can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code.

This closes SF patch #426598.
 2001-05-29 18:13:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a152630ca Capitalize first letter of an explanation for a \versionchanged 
annotation.
 2000-10-19 05:33:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 21c9df7641 For os.stat() & friends, note that the time fields are returned as 
floating-point values.
 2000-10-14 05:46:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
 2000-10-04 13:57:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 1319e3ecbc Remove old note that os.popen() on Windows is unreliable; this is no 
longer true.
 2000-10-03 17:14:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 4ce4f2eedd os.startfile() documentation, based on text from Tim Peters. 2000-09-29 04:15:19 +00:00

for Windows & Unix.
 2000-09-28 20:27:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 7be3115860 Added explanation of the use of the first program argument passed to the 
exec*() family of functions.
 2000-09-23 05:22:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ac977e39c O_BINARY: Documented this constant; omission noted by David Ascher. 
access():  Corrected availability statement; error pointed out by
           Tim Peters.
 2000-08-11 20:19:51 +00:00
Skip Montanaro d372521ec0 added doc for isatty() 2000-07-19 17:30:58 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope 
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
