Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions 
and left shifts.  (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.
 2003-11-29 23:52:13 +00:00
Alex Martelli c516b0e47c clarified (in the 5.14 summary) that tests and comparisons all chain,

 2003-03-20 18:17:16 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 2ab1d08f90 I thought it was common practice to check things compiled before 
checking them in?  Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does).  I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.
 2003-03-05 14:20:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d41eea05f4 SF doc patch #692001, properties and __getattribute__. I added some

Michael W. Hudson cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch 
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Fixed minor bug preventing documentation compilation.
 2002-11-26 18:14:35 +00:00
Tim Peters 5b21df4a5c Repaired inaccuracies in the % docs. In particular, we don't (and can't) 
guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.

Bugfix candidate.  Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.

Michael W. Hudson f0d777c56b A few days ago, Guido said (in the thread "[Python-Dev] Python 
version of PySlice_GetIndicesEx"):

> OK.  Michael, if you want to check in indices(), go ahead.

Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in.  Here it is.
 2002-07-19 15:47:06 +00:00

 2002-06-20 20:55:29 +00:00
Fred Drake e08c9dbffc Simplify the production for argument list, making sure that it 
actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else.  Previously,
it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary).
This closes (again!) SF bug #493243.

Note that both "as" and "None" becoming keywords in the future.

Closes SF bug #553262.
 2002-06-18 19:17:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 074712112b Played contortionist games with the argument_list production so it 
might be easier to understand.
This relates to SF bug #493243, which will be closed.
 2002-06-18 18:42:01 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 495afea36e Typo. 2002-06-17 12:51:57 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 5efaf7eac8 This is my nearly two year old patch 
[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.
 2002-06-11 10:55:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 293dd4b77b Fix up Guido's markup. 2002-06-04 16:25:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 92cf95f45b Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally). 
Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label).  The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-).  OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.

Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.

I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive.  Please
fix this and other markup nits.  An index entry would be nice.

This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)
 2002-06-03 19:06:41 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6cf09f0792 Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod(). 2002-05-21 18:19:49 +00:00
