Walter Dörwald 9e46abed50 Fix array.array.insert(), so that it treats negative indices as
being relative to the end of the array, just like list.insert() does.
This closes SF bug #739313.

Jim Fulton 1f325562f0 Added some missing PyObject* casts in the deallocators.
Added some defines for PyMODINIT_FUNC so that the examples work

I think I'm done hacking this documentation. Yippie! :)

Fred Drake c868d16e11 When an external application we use exits normally, exit with the same
exit code they returned.  All other types of exit from child processes
are normalized to a return code of 1.

Brett Cannon 066f3928b2 Library documentation for the 'test' package. Still needs to be checked by Fred. 2003-05-07 22:02:17 +00:00
Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c

Greg Ward 1f53517a8c Use True/False instead of 1/0 when talking about store_true/store_false.
Particularly important since they now store True and False rather than 1
and 0!

Greg Ward c50b088cfd Add a big comment about cross-platform issues (especially OpenBSD).
