Fred Drake 2829f1cf99 Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit. 2001-06-23 05:27:20 +00:00

Jeremy Hylton 10f8ba4fc6 Remove note about the compiler not checking for two kinds of illegal
imports.  It checks for them now.

Barry Warsaw 33f785fc1e Document "print >> None" 2000-08-29 04:57:34 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8c0a242289 PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL.
Document the extended print form.  Fred, please double check the
markup!

Thomas Wouters 8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.

Thomas Wouters 5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

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.

Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>.
2000-07-06 00:50:42 +00:00
Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)
2000-04-27 18:32:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 011f6fca31 Typo: "Otherwose" --> "Otherwise" (reported by Joakim Sernbrant

Guido van Rossum 56c2013d15 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some

undocumented.
1998-07-24 18:25:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
