Raymond Hettinger 9240be2a35 Note change in behavior from 1.5.2. The new argument to NameError is
an error message and not just the missing name.

Closes SF Bug 599869.

Fred Drake 80a04a4894 Add strong security warning about the rexec module.
Closes SF patch #600861.

Minor markup changes.

Fred Drake 246beb2526 Don't use tempfile.mktemp(), since it produces annoying warnings, and
usually isn't what we want anyway.
2002-08-27 16:34:54 +00:00
Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ad09552d0 Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script.
Closes SF bug 599681.
2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

Fred Drake 055be47b43 Fix typo reported to python-docs. 2002-08-23 21:19:53 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger fa8dd5f407 Fix markup and punctuation 2002-08-23 18:10:54 +00:00
Tim Peters b81b252fab s/_as_Temporarily_Immutable/_as_temporarily_immutable/g, because the
latter is what the code actually does.
2002-08-23 17:48:23 +00:00
Tim Peters 54fd3e6ffc pop(): An arbitrary element is removed, not a random element. 2002-08-23 17:45:43 +00:00
Fred Drake d10c6c949a Adjust the markup in a few places so this will actually format.
Remove the third column in the tables since it isn't used.
2002-08-23 17:22:36 +00:00
Fred Drake d526011091 Add an entry for the sets module documentation.
Move another entry so the boilerplate doesn't get mixed up with
document-specific content.

Raymond Hettinger 584cb198f7 Load docs for sets.py 2002-08-23 15:18:38 +00:00
Greg Ward 373198e751 Fix peculiar (and ungrammatical) wording in an example program. 2002-08-22 19:15:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 13090e1025 Give the section on PEP 263 a more meaningful title, so readers will
be able to locate this information without knowing the PEP number.
2002-08-22 16:51:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ec486b87a Add a note that apply() is needed since the extended call syntax is
completely equivalent.
2002-08-22 14:27:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 61cf4407be Added a main() function and support to run this module as a script.
Closes SF feature request #588768.
2002-08-21 20:56:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b09eeea89 Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the
order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script
should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or
they may not be relevant to the request.
Closes SF bug #596866.
2002-08-21 19:24:21 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger a6e16a86c4 Replace all cases of "while 1" with "while True".
Though slightly slower, has better clarity and teaching value.
2002-08-21 04:54:00 +00:00
Fred Drake ffefb1df56 Clarify the endpos argument to the rx.match() method.
Closes SF bug #597177.
2002-08-20 13:57:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling bc4651083e Cover the sets module.
(There's a link to PEP218; has PEP218 been updated to match the actual
module implementation?)
2002-08-20 01:34:06 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 6974aa93c1 Create two subsections of the "Core Language Changes" section, because
the list is getting awfully long
Mention Karatsuba multiplication and some other items

Neal Norwitz 11b795cd0f Add versionadded for operator.pow 2002-08-19 22:38:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 017778332f Extend some comments on the order of values in the returns from
dict.items/keys/values/iteritems/iterkeys/itervalues().
2002-08-19 21:58:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Raymond Hettinger 5959c559df Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern of
all operators having a counterpart in the operator module.

Closes SF bug #577513.

Michael W. Hudson dd32a91cc0 This is my patch
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer

Remove SET_LINENO.  Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.

Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.

Andrew M. Kuchling 90e9a79afd Add 'in' change
Revise sentence
Add two reminders
2002-08-15 00:40:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 794643c314 Py_InitModule() and friends now accept NULL for the 'methods'
argument.  This makes sense now that extension types can support
__init__ directly rather than requiring function constructors.

simply not relevant any more.
Closes SF bug #595032.
2002-08-14 15:26:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 918af2aef7 The auto-reply text for the python-docs address. This is not automatically
updated when checkins are made, but I can get that updated when needed.
2002-08-12 22:01:42 +00:00
Fred Drake a132f6c38b Accomodate the packaging changes when we unpack into the dev/doc/ area
on python.org.
2002-08-09 22:56:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a0199a74f Lots of changes to the packaging of the documentation, all to keep
directories clean where the packages are unpacked.  Each package now
contains a single directory, Python-Docs-<version>/, which contains the
files for that version of the documentation.

Closes SF feature request #567576.

Fred, please review!

is empty.

the weakreflist to NULL in the constructor and to fill the tp_flags
slot with Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS.  Closes SF bug 586583.

Fred Drake 442c7c7743 Clarify that the bool instances are acceptable return values from
__nonzero__(), in response to SF bug #579991.
2002-08-07 15:40:15 +00:00
Fred Drake f7aa164d7a Fix up some more markup problems. 2002-08-07 13:24:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 95fa4ddf7b Change the markup a bit more; the parameter was not marked as \var in the
sample code, and the note was marked as a logical thing.
