Raymond Hettinger 463bfafd24 Clarify deprecation of the floor div operator, modulo operator,
and divmod() function for complex numbers.

Closes SF Bug 621708: Unclear deprecation.

Raymond Hettinger 7fd9ced4ca Minor English grammar correction 2002-06-25 04:04:14 +00:00
Fred Drake e08c9dbffc Simplify the production for argument list, making sure that it
actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else.  Previously,
it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary).
This closes (again!) SF bug #493243.

Fred Drake 074712112b Played contortionist games with the argument_list production so it
might be easier to understand.
This relates to SF bug #493243, which will be closed.

Fred Drake af93c4c8d9 Added a missing "|" in the grammar productions used in the reference manual

Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions.
Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention
floor division in the relevant portion of the text.

Jeremy Hylton 2225add242 Given lambda its own section, instead of burying it in boolean operators. 2002-04-01 21:05:21 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 53ed917d3a Update / simplify Identifiers section for nested scopes.
How do I create a cross reference to section 4.1?

Fred Drake 83d14c12a6 Markup error: braces not properly marked in dictionary display
grammer productions.
Fixes SF bug #520959.
2002-03-16 06:35:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 5381588073 Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the
level of predictability.  This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably
better than we had before.
This closes SF bug #523117.

Fred Drake b062cb22d0 Work around the problem of spaces after a "}" being dropped by LaTeX2HTML if

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Tim Peters 20524dbf36 The description of dictionary comparison was out of date.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 cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.
2001-07-06 22:49:53 +00:00
Fred Drake deda9f3420 Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding the

version.

the availability of nested scoping in Python 2.1 and 2.2.
2001-06-05 02:17:02 +00:00
Fred Drake b8ac0096b2 Fix the operator precedence table: exponentiation binds tighter than
negation.

This closes SF bug #421999.
2001-05-09 16:51:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

Fred Drake 24e7a29292 Work around the conversion of ">>" and "<<" to guillemets. Reported by

from right to left!

Fred Drake c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.

Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
