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.

Fred Drake 92350b3a1f New markup: \note{...} and \warning{...} 2001-10-09 18:01:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 6959a2fcd7 Note that the values for Boolean options are case-insensitive. 2001-10-09 14:58:24 +00:00
Fred Drake b35f0ce2b8 Update the description of getboolean() to reflect the changes made by 
SF patch #467580.
 2001-10-08 16:03:20 +00:00
Tim Peters 0a1fc4e389 Remove code and docs for the OldProfile and HotProfile classes: code 
hasn't worked in years, docs were wrong, and they aren't interesting
anymore regardless.
 2001-10-07 03:12:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 8c2c3d301b Update the documentation to reflect the changes to ReferenceError. 2001-10-06 06:10:54 +00:00
Fred Drake bf88b68f38 Add documentation for the public API for weak reference objects. 2001-10-05 22:03:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 9835206268 A regexp example was rendered as 
foo\d
when it was clearly intended to render as
    foo$
Fred, is this a right way to fix it?  If not, the earlier place in the
same paragraph that does render as
    foo$
is also wrong.
 2001-10-05 20:06:47 +00:00
Fred Drake e8f47bb93a Remove some long-unsupported Mac OS modules. 
This closes SF patch #460737.
 2001-10-05 16:49:31 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 244edc8985 Add chroot call. Implements feature #459267. 2001-10-04 22:44:26 +00:00
Fred Drake fcc16330a4 Update a couple of old addresses that point to CNRI. 2001-10-04 20:40:07 +00:00
Tim Peters 3899d74c10 Make clear that tuple() accepts the same kind of arguments as list(). 2001-10-04 06:53:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 6f3d82693a Expand the documentation of the low-level tracing/profiling interface. 
This reflects what is currently in CVS, which may change before 2.2 is final.
 2001-10-03 21:52:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 0481d24dd5 CVS patch [#466628] Doc changes for doctest patch (#466616), from 
Tim Hochberg.  Doctest no longer searches imported objects.
 2001-10-02 21:01:22 +00:00
Fred Drake d90f509b8f Fredrik tells me the truefalse parameter for boolean() is not part of the 
public interface, so we can simplify the documentation.
 2001-10-01 21:05:30 +00:00
Tim Peters 1350c07de3 Removed stray backslash (a typo -- my fault). 2001-10-01 20:25:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 20524dbf36 The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather than 
try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided
to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and
intuitive), leaving the other outcomes unspecified beyond consistency.
 2001-10-01 20:22:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c81e2a44f "boolean" --> "Boolean" (per the style guide). 2001-10-01 17:04:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f0380a25f Fix some minor style-guide conformance bugs. 2001-10-01 17:04:10 +00:00
Fred Drake fe95e65668 Straighten out some markup. 
"boolean" --> "Boolean" (per the style guide).
 2001-10-01 17:03:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 73921b0eec Refer to the objects which define __len__(), __*item__(), and __iter__() 
as container objects rather than as mapping objects (in the index entries).
Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general,
since that's how things have actually evolved.
 2001-10-01 16:32:13 +00:00
Fred Drake e9ba525c2b Clarify comments about mailbox objects being iterable. 2001-10-01 15:49:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e7877df595 Docs for SF patch #462628 2001-10-01 13:50:15 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 0daad598d0 Patch #462122: add readline startup and pre_event hooks. 2001-09-30 21:09:59 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 16dc7f44b1 Patch #462190, patch #464070: Support quoted printable in the binascii module. 
Decode and encode underscores for header style encoding. Fixes bug #463996.
 2001-09-30 20:32:11 +00:00
Tim Peters af5910f025 The execfile() docs imply it acts on locals same as exec. But in truth 
it acts more like assigning to keys in locals(), i.e. modifications to
function locals aren't reflected in the locals when execfile() returns.
 2001-09-30 06:32:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 1c33daf143 Correct docs for long(float). 2001-09-30 06:18:26 +00:00
Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer. 
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
 2001-09-30 05:09:37 +00:00
Fred Drake ac1af8093e Handle PEP references the same way RFC references. 2001-09-29 19:07:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0d68246f01 Fix two typos in the text about compile(), and add two caveats from 
recent user feedback: you must end the input with \n and you must use
\n, not \r\n to represent line endings.
 2001-09-29 14:28:52 +00:00
Skip Montanaro a1c3662e84 forgot to mark use of StringType and UnicodeType in the text. 2001-09-29 13:53:21 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c7ba0c4c24 added description of StringTypes object 2001-09-29 13:49:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 583061a10f Fix up whitespace in <args> elements; reduce sequences of consecutive 
whitespace characters to a single space.
Small changes elsewhere, mostly to clean up the code a little.
 2001-09-29 05:05:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 2b05ca3454 Minor markup improvement. 2001-09-29 05:01:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 599db7de63 The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That's 
never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!).  Get
closer to the truth.
 2001-09-29 01:08:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 7988e0249c Move XML-RPC-related docs to the "Internet Protocols" chapter. 
Add entry for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module.
 2001-09-28 22:03:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 06c61b14fe Add entry for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module. 2001-09-28 22:02:49 +00:00
Fred Drake e486e0d066 Preliminary documentation for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module. 2001-09-28 22:02:21 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling d4707e3b62 Minor additions and rewrites. 
Bump version number.
 2001-09-28 20:46:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c171d1b9f Convert to string methods. 
For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.

Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.

Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.
 2001-09-28 17:14:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c10c68c0e Use consistent version annotations instead of something ad hoc. 2001-09-28 16:57:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f9bfd3dda Convert most uses of the string module to string methods. 
(string.join() lives!)
 2001-09-28 16:26:13 +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 b387860c70 State that encode() and encodestring() append a newline to the input data 
if it does not already end with a newline.
This fixes SF bug #463330.
 2001-09-28 16:01:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 33f4d6d1db Add entries for the email and compiler packages. 2001-09-27 20:11:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 90e687863b Markup adjustments. 2001-09-27 20:09:39 +00:00
Fred Drake d443d8cc00 Added dependencies for the compiler and email packages. 
(Migrate to branch, along with new files compiler.tex and asttable.tex.)
 2001-09-27 20:08:20 +00:00
Fred Drake e2f9917f9f Migrate the compiler documentation from the Tools/compiler/doc/ directory. 
Changes made to make it work in the new location.
 2001-09-27 20:06:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 876389e5d8 Do not distinguish \refmodule from \module in the generated output; 
whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database.
Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs
(giving input an empty name).
 2001-09-27 17:01:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 9213b7a961 Re-write <ulink> elements as described in the conversion spec. 2001-09-27 16:52:22 +00:00
