Fred Drake ad56dafd62 Added example use of pack_list() to help explain the pack_item
parameter.  Lack of clarity reported by Matthew Gallagher

Guido van Rossum 068d5724d8 Calling _cleanup() does not guarantee that all processes have
terminated; this makes the final assert in the self-test code fail if
the parent runs faster than the children.  Fix this by calling wait()
on the remaining children instead.

Guido van Rossum 1b9e0aae6e Jim Fulton writes:
I have attached a new cPickle that adds a new control attribute
to unpicklers:

  Added new Unpickler attribute, find_global.  If set to None, then
  global and instance pickles are disabled.  Otherwise, it should be set to
  a callable object that takes two arguments, a module name and an
  object name, and returns an object.  If the attribute is unset, then
  the default mechanism is used.

  This feature provides an additional mechanism for controlling which
  classes can be used for unpickling.

Guido van Rossum a7379d9a34 Avoid triggering Alpha OSF/1 specific code on Alpha NT or Linux. 1999-04-19 16:50:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0a2818fe5b A few wishes are now fulfilled. 1999-04-19 16:26:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 17c516eacb Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate (see Help
list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from every other editor
on earth <wink>).

o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old line (pymode
and Codewright).

o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).

o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).

The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings & continuations,
but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing functions to avoid that
in finite time.

Fred Drake e9af64c373 Remove superfluous index entry for posix.popen(); no longer
appropriate since popen() is only documented in os.

Fred Drake f4cbada3f9 Correct documentation for <file>.read(); Python makes a serious
best-effort to return 'size' bytes.  Point out that this may mean
multiple fread() calls.  Reported by Anders Hammarquist
<iko@iko.pp.se> via the Debian crew.

Fred Drake c260c0bcdb Further refinement, to allow this to handle the library reference as
well as the other "manual" documents.

Fred Drake 011f6fca31 Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant

Misc. small fixes to the logical markup.
1999-04-14 12:52:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 79d41ccdd3 Add some support for the module index, so this can be used to build
the .aux file for any of the "manual" class documents.
1999-04-14 05:02:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a64b355c1 For now, comment out the \ignorePlatformAnnotation; the global index
doesn't really work with this.

Guido van Rossum 495894ee66 While I can't really test this thoroughly, Pat Knight and the Solaris
man pages suggest that the proper thing to do is to add THR_NEW_LWP to
the flags on thr_create(), and that there really isn't a downside, so
I'll do that.
1999-04-13 14:32:12 +00:00
