Fred Drake babe326c65 Added entries for new files of SAX documentation. 2000-10-12 20:07:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 014f0e3394 Massive addition of SAX documentation from Martin von Loewis

Andrew M. Kuchling ec1722e8d4 Various minor additions and clarifications, mostly suggested by Jeremy 2000-10-12 03:04:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 7486c6b0ef Comment out a separator line, since all the others are commented out,
and it would look kind of silly if typeset.
2000-10-12 02:49:12 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 6032c48b47 Add new section on the XML package. (This was the only major new 2.0 feature
left that wasn't covered.  The article is therefore now essentially complete.)
A few minor changes
2000-10-12 02:37:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 93615657ec Document the exceptions that now get raised on invalid parameters. 2000-10-11 22:27:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 6fe9bacb8c Make sure methods of ZipFile objects are in alphabetical order; the logical
groupings are still maintained.  Based on a comment by Steve Holden
<sholden@holdenweb.com>.
2000-10-11 18:56:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 2c4f554b78 Fixed a large number of small problems, mostly noted by Detlef Lannert
<lannert@lannert.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de>.
2000-10-10 22:00:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 66c9f0781d Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficient
than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>).

Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means.

Fixed a few markup nits.
2000-10-10 20:58:48 +00:00

Yee <ping@lfw.org> and probably others as well.
2000-10-10 20:23:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 77b76b6db6 Substantially revise to handle the fact that Python CVS is no longer in a
file-system accessible repository.  Add a little bit of smarts to convert
the cvsroot to an anonymous cvsroot the real one requires an authenticated
login to SourceForge; this avoids the SSH startup delay when doing the
checkout or export to get a fresh copy of the tree.
2000-10-10 19:35:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ece71327f Make it clear that copy_reg.pickle() should not be used for classes, but

Fred Drake 6ff7aec2ab Move the documentation for the mutex module to be with the threading

2000-10-06 20:01:23 +00:00

when 7-bit strings were assumed; note that Unicode strings can be used.
2000-10-06 19:59:22 +00:00
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.
