Tim Peters 0de88fc4b1 Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible
internal states.  Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions.  This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).
2001-02-01 04:59:18 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 0eb107068a update section 4.1 to describe nested scopes 2001-02-01 03:50:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 30dbd1429a Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
  callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
  methods.  Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
  check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.
2001-01-31 22:14:01 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b416290d5d Some rewriting of the "Internationalizing your programs and modules"

Fred Drake 2f4453af6a Typo: coplete --> complete
This closes SF bug #129759.
2001-01-26 15:27:35 +00:00
Tim Peters e360d9507a The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needs
examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated.  Here they are.
2001-01-26 10:00:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 8863460490 Add bzip2 archives back to the set of generated archives; we had way too
many reasonable requests to keep them around.

Bump version number.
2001-01-25 17:32:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 29052482d1 Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I used
in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6.

Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.
2001-01-25 17:29:18 +00:00
Fred Drake cf069da57d Update link to LaTeX2HTML web site. 2001-01-25 17:25:28 +00:00

Tim Peters d52269bfd0 Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization
got broken).  Also added new method .jumpahead(N).  This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).
2001-01-25 06:23:18 +00:00
Tim Peters d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.
2001-01-25 03:36:26 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 83125775e0 A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}. 2001-01-25 00:39:16 +00:00

function, based on an eyeballing of the code.
2001-01-25 00:36:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 902446a28d Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of module
intro docs.
*************** Fred:  check my LaTeX!  Also, the docs for whrandom should
*************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.
2001-01-24 23:06:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 9368a12011 Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previous
change to this file.  Thanks, /F!

2001-01-24 17:19:08 +00:00

filenames on Windows (& Mac?) platforms.

Eric S. Raymond f7f185116a Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's
complaints.  The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links.  Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented.  The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

Fred Drake 0f564eaceb Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDF
hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the
link start while still in vertical mode, which is not allowed.  Including
text before the link forces horizontal mode.
2001-01-22 19:06:20 +00:00
Fred Drake bcb09fa33f Worked around bug SF #125880: changed the text of three sections that

too Unix-specific, and not really needed.  (Already fixed the HTML

now generated.  (SF bug #129692.)

Patch from Anthon van der Neut <anthon@mnt.org>:
Work around the removal of content-less paired tags used for name
anchors in some places.  (SF bug #116008.)

Move some class attributes from an artificial SPAN element to otherwise
"useful" elements that are being generated anyway.  Added the class
"versionnote", used for \deprecated, \versionadded, \versionchanged.
2001-01-22 17:33:24 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling b216ab632f Fill out various transcripts and XXX bits, thanks to the WMATA.
The only missing section is the Nested Scopes section, which has to wait

    that get made or backed out between now and 2.1final, of course...)

Fred Drake 42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)

                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.
2001-01-04 15:11:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.
