Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.

Fred Drake 8e54abe92e Fix the \kbd definition so it didn't leave the courier face on. 1998-07-01 14:49:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.

Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp".
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.

Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists.
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
1998-06-30 15:56:23 +00:00

cmd, multifile and smtplib.
1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.
1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d4a54da32 Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it
to pypaper.sty.

Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
1998-06-22 17:50:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 44c413b05e Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font,
like any other header.
1998-06-22 17:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e7c82648f Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that the
.dvi files are properly dependent on it.
1998-06-22 17:14:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
the empty prompt.
1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00

Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 60f2f0cf8e Lots of changes to get this in sync with the Frame version.

1998-06-15 18:00:50 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3e5fe422cc Document several variables that were previously undocumented,
including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__.
Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
1998-06-10 17:57:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer
