Fred Drake fbd3b45bb7 Stop lying about [].pop() being experimental! There is no backing it out 
at this point.
 2000-07-31 23:42:23 +00:00
Peter Schneider-Kamp 5a65c2d436 added count, extend, index, pop and remove to arraymodule 2000-07-31 20:52:21 +00:00

 2000-07-31 20:13:23 +00:00

 2000-07-31 20:08:23 +00:00

did not get handled.
 2000-07-31 18:18:27 +00:00
Fred Drake e7aa5dc5bb Update to indicate the appropriate version of LaTeX2HTML. Update pointer 
for retrieving new versions.
 2000-07-31 17:56:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 85d14c9d02 Many changes to work with newer versions of LaTeX2HTML. This has been

describing the methods of dictionaries.
 2000-07-31 16:34:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b8aa2619c7 Always pass the split level to LaTeX2HTML as a command line option since 
newer versions only process one initialization file, and do so at a
different time than previous versions.
 2000-07-31 15:55:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 578a3f9638 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:

Eric S. Raymond b924bd4610 Second round of curses documentation improvements. Completes and extends 
documentation for function keys, special characters.
 2000-07-27 21:10:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 518e55c7f2 Rip out the information about the PSA, since the fate of that is not 
certain.

Update the information about the mailing list, using the python.org
address instead of cwi.nl, and point to the pipermail archives.  Also
update the daily average message count (at the risk of scaring people
off), using the mail archive at http://www.egroups.com/group/python-list
for the first half of 2000 for statistical information.
 2000-07-27 20:55:12 +00:00

Fred Drake 498c18f4d0 Only use one initialization file for LaTeX2HTML; more recent versions only 
use the last one specified on the command line instead of all of them.
Smaller changes to reflect updated support.
 2000-07-24 23:03:32 +00:00

Thomas Wouters f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the 
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.
 2000-07-16 19:05:38 +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.
 2000-07-16 19:01:10 +00:00

Barry Warsaw.
 2000-07-13 04:57:58 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 8d2f2b2db2 From Sam Rushing's Medusa, via SF patch #100858: add & document 
os.seteuid(), os.setegid(), os.setreuid(), os.setregid().
 2000-07-13 01:26:58 +00:00
Fred Drake bdcf91fda0 Documentation for the gc module. Text from Neil Schemenauer 
<nascheme@enme.ucalgary.ca>, markup & minor revisions from Fred
Drake.
 2000-07-12 04:22:53 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 7ae3a5e79d Resynchronize the TeX docs with (a) the module docstring, and (b) my recent 
fix to the code to make it behave like the module docstring.
 2000-07-12 02:56:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 7399b9e6e4 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>: 
Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline.  This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).

Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
 2000-07-11 19:43:47 +00:00
Fred Drake acab3d61e9 Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc 
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
 2000-07-11 16:30:30 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write 
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

<grant.griffin@honeywell.com>.
 2000-07-06 18:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake e1a85f5e4a Minor changes. Explain that for class exceptions, use excdesc but do not

for now.

 2000-07-06 05:24:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and 
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).
 2000-07-06 04:51:04 +00:00

 2000-07-05 02:24:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines. 
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.
 2000-07-05 02:03:34 +00:00

 2000-07-03 13:38:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 52dc76c81f Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>: 
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.

[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
 2000-07-03 09:56:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 353aaadd9b Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>:

Andrew M. Kuchling 791b366f8f Added more changes from /F 2000-07-01 15:04:18 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling fed4f1e9c5 Changes from Moshe: 
- distutils: Windows installers are already working

- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
  be docommented

- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp

- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
  win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
  Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
 2000-07-01 12:33:43 +00:00
Fred Drake d95f4e1a0d Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>: 
Correct typo that caused a well-formedness failure.

Fred Drake 35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances 
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by
Andrew Dalke.

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.
 2000-06-28 20:15:47 +00:00
Fred Drake c82634c13c Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:

Greg Ward 1bbe32982d Minor wording tweaks. 
Kludged the extra-wide table that summarizes the manifest template language
  (works with LaTeX, but is an *evil* kludge and could well break LaTeX2HTML
  or similar...).
