Fred Drake 2e06c209dc Revise the versioning information to say that this was revised in 1.6, 
not added then, and note what the change was (ncurses, change to a package).
 2000-10-06 20:01:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 062ea2e70b Made a number of revisions suggested by Fredrik Lundh.

Fred Drake d88d0a1d5b It turns out that Guido does not like or encourage the use of the term 
"disciplines" for the __*__() methods, so they should be referred to as
"methods" or "special methods", as appropriate in context.

Fred Drake 5d63a39983 is_zipfile() description: Use the same name for the parameter as the 
code, in case someone wants to use it as a keyword paramter.

ZIP_DEFLATED description:  Do not reveal the specific value of the
      constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.

Fred Drake c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
 2000-10-04 13:57:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is
