Fred Drake 739282da83 Re-write the description of the os.spawn*() functions, and cover the 
whole family instead of just two.


This closes SF bug #451630.
 2001-08-16 21:21:28 +00:00

Fred Drake 8ee679f0ce Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:50:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
 2001-07-06 20:30:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of 
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
 2001-06-11 18:25:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 046f4d810d Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added 
a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"
section.

Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.

Skip Montanaro b9d973dac5 is -> if in rename description 2001-06-04 15:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 81e142b907 Document os.getenv(). 
This closes SF bug #429059.
 2001-05-31 20:27:46 +00:00
Fred Drake dc9e7e42c8 readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either 
absolute or relative.

remove(), rename() descriptions:  Give more information about the cross-
    platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers
    can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code.

This closes SF patch #426598.
 2001-05-29 18:13:06 +00:00

 2000-10-19 05:33:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 21c9df7641 For os.stat() & friends, note that the time fields are returned as 
floating-point values.
 2000-10-14 05:46:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
 2000-10-04 13:57:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 1319e3ecbc Remove old note that os.popen() on Windows is unreliable; this is no 
longer true.
 2000-10-03 17:14:27 +00:00

 2000-09-23 05:22:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ac977e39c O_BINARY: Documented this constant; omission noted by David Ascher.

           Tim Peters.
 2000-08-11 20:19:51 +00:00
Skip Montanaro d372521ec0 added doc for isatty() 2000-07-19 17:30:58 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope 
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Andrew M. Kuchling 8d2f2b2db2 From Sam Rushing's Medusa, via SF patch #100858: add & document

Fred Drake e06d025e00 Use \versionchanged to indicate when the second parameter to utime() 
was allowed to be None.
 2000-05-02 17:29:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the 
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.

 1999-07-12 16:49:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 227020894a For spawn*(), point to the magic constants; some readers have a hard 
time finding the bindings.

Fred Drake 859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions

Fred Drake 9329e5ec75 Remove "_" from the P_* symbols used with the spawn*() functions. 1999-02-16 19:40:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the 
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.
