57d575240c
Update to better reflect the usage of struct_time instances throughout;
...
continuing to call these "time tuples" is misleading at best.
Closes SF bug #671731 ; will backport to 2.2.x.
2003-02-04 15:12:06 +00:00

4e303aad05
Add notes to the asctime() and ctime() descriptions to make it
...
explicit that locale information is not used. There wasn't anything
that implied it was, but this has confused users.

Doc patch from SF 474274 (pure Python strptime by Brett Cannon).

c37b65ee10
Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
2001-11-28 07:26:15 +00:00
589abb7212
Add additional information on exceptions from time.mktime() and related to
...
improper time tuples passed to various functions. Based on comments from
Andreas Jung.

Improve Windows time.clock() blurb; was missing return type and unit.
2001-08-19 01:38:03 +00:00

Add a comment on time.time() returning non-decreasing values except when
...
the clock is set back.
This closes SF bug #447945 .

Revise the description of time.clock() so that it correctly describes the
...
Windows version of the function as well as the Unix flavor.
This fixes SF bug #441357 .

Minor changes to match the style guide.
2001-07-14 02:50:55 +00:00
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.

SourceForge bug #437041 :
...
Use a portable format in the example that creates a timestamp suitable for
use in email, also updating it and the footnote from RFC 822 to RFC 2822.
2001-06-29 15:39:53 +00:00
1aec3a16f3
Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
...
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime,
...
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265 .
2001-01-19 23:16:56 +00:00

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
29fa30ea6b
Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTML

(libtime.tex): Merged in changes from Tamito Kajiyama.
...
(For those watching Python CVS messages: I checked in all of
Tamito's other changes, but the mail delivery failed since the
