Andrew M. Kuchling 2eda1b78f9 [Bug #1511911] Clarify description of optional arguments to sorted()
by improving the xref to the section on lists, and by
   copying the explanations of the arguments (with a slight modification).

Fred Drake 6f42dfce7c - consistency nit: always include "()" in \function and \method
(*should* be done by the presentation, but that requires changes all over)
- avoid spreading the __name meme

Georg Brandl 7b90e168f3 Bug #1462152: file() now checks more thoroughly for invalid mode

Neal Norwitz c4edb0ec81 SF #1479181: split open() and file() from being aliases for each other. 2006-05-02 04:43:14 +00:00

Georg Brandl 48b4bf7b1a Add a note about pow(x,y) equalling x**y (the "**" operator
was used unmotivated in the pow() docs)

Georg Brandl 533ff6fc06 Patch #1434038: property() now uses the getter's docstring if there is
no "doc" argument given. This makes it possible to legitimately use
property() as a decorator to produce a read-only property.

Raymond Hettinger 76fb6d84d0 SF bug #1100368: Wrong "type()" syntax in docs
Docs were missing the name/bases/dict form of type().

Raymond Hettinger cb40ba1f5e SF bug #805304: super instances don't support item assignment
Document a nuance of super().  It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.

Tim Peters feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Raymond Hettinger f9fd0d7988 SF bug #997533: "disjunct" should be "disjoint"

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.
