Fred Drake 5c08a99b77 Remove a broken example of extreme backward compatibility; it is 
simply not relevant any more.
Closes SF bug #595032.

Fred Drake 918af2aef7 The auto-reply text for the python-docs address. This is not automatically

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.

 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.

 2002-08-06 21:26:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 43af5b5852 Add some fine points: METH_KEYWORDS implies METH_VARARGS, and ob_size 
is no longer unused in type objects.
 2002-08-06 17:18:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97c5fccd77 Remove mention of deprecated xreadlines method. 2002-08-06 17:03:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc01865f3 Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method and 
module).  (One thing remains to be done: the gzip class has an
xreadline method; this ought to be replaced by an iterator as well.)
 2002-08-06 17:01:28 +00:00

Add PEP263 section (not sure I really understand the PEP's effect on 8-bit
   strings, though -- will have to experiment with it)

Skip Montanaro de994d9130 indicate that 'b' is added to the mode flag if not given 2002-08-02 17:20:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 74824584ef Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about 
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").

BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring.  I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

Mark Hammond 543fb35cca Replace DL_EXPORT with PyMODINIT_FUNC 2002-07-31 06:17:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b11bdd0ed SF patch #581414: info reader bug 
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

Thomas Heller 085358a3e2 New functions for extension writers on Windows: 
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename().

Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify
the exception type to raise. Available on Windows.

See SF patch #576458.

Fred Drake db40afaabe Small clarifications when referring to the sys.exc_* variables so that 
readers are not given the wrong impression that they should be using those
on a regualar basis.
This closes SF bug #585598.
