Guido van Rossum 46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is 
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!

sent to python-docs.
 2001-12-03 18:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 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

is part of a response to SF bug #443559.

Fred Drake ed51494666 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.
 2001-07-06 17:28:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 88e66254f9 Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in an

 2001-06-29 17:50:57 +00:00
Fred Drake d5df09cfb6 Update to include the license information in a less annoying place. 2001-06-20 21:37:34 +00:00
