Martin v. Löwis e3eb1f2b23 Patch #427190: Implement and use METH_NOARGS and METH_O. 2001-08-16 13:15:00 +00:00
Fred Drake ce1650f3a5 A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slots 
in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots.
Thanks!

Markup and organizational changes by your friendly neighborhood
documentation czar.

This closes SF bug #450633.
 2001-08-14 19:55:42 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ef99a0bc5 Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function's 
__dict__ attribute.  Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError.  Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).

Closes SF bug #446645.
 2001-08-14 18:22:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 680cabb225 Add "exceptions" to the list of fundamental modules

This closes SF patch #445413.
 2001-08-13 19:31:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 84e58ab722 For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() function 
in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting
attribute values.
This closes SF bug #444707.

Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.

 2001-08-10 20:12:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a7b59e7b4 Added this LaTeX style file to the package since not all LaTeX installations

have it.)

This is part of the response to SF patch #429611.
 2001-08-10 19:47:41 +00:00

Wrapped some long lines, added some others.
 2001-08-08 19:14:53 +00:00

semantic labels instead of presentational markup.
 2001-08-08 05:39:29 +00:00
Fred Drake a7d608d1cf "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operators 
and //= to the list of other delimiter tokens.

I'll work on it again when it's not so late...

Martin v. Löwis c9908c4f5c Document IPv6 changes. Contributed by itojun. 2001-08-04 22:22:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 53765753c4 Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed 
by Albert Hofkamp.  Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.

This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.

(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)
 2001-08-04 01:58:36 +00:00

Fred Drake 5d54879647 Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support a 
get() method; just calling them is sufficient.  (There was a get() method
for this in an early version of the implementation.)

Reported by Mats Wichmann.
 2001-08-03 03:50:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions 
as the callable, so use more flexible language.
 2001-08-02 21:34:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 51629c245a Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that the 
documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of

Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
 2001-08-02 20:52:00 +00:00
