Neal Norwitz 488609e43a SF #642236, optparse LaTeX docs by Johannes Gijsbers 2003-01-06 16:51:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 11f89b75e1 Strike any hint that from-import-* could ever be reasonable; it's a 
vile abomination and should be eradicated!
 2003-01-06 16:38:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e3ae21060 Fix some nits Guido brought up last August: 
- give subsection pages nicer names
- shorten some really long table cells; table cells can't wrap in the
  typeset version of the documentation
 2003-01-06 15:50:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 2b0a3d33f8 Fix markup so this will format again. 2003-01-06 15:03:11 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 9f5b07dd92 SF bug #592859: os.chmod is underdocumented 
Document constants for permission bits.

Neal Norwitz b9ef4aea5e SF #651082, tarfile module implementation from Lars Gustäbel 2003-01-05 23:19:43 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 6d23b170cf Fix a typo 2003-01-05 22:20:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform 
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
 2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all 
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).
 2003-01-04 06:03:15 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 69bf8f3f4e SF bug #655271: Slightly modify locals() doc 
Clarify the operation of locals().
 2003-01-04 02:16:22 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 2ca243368f SF bug #651149: Review libshelve.tex when possible 
Minor fixes to markup, spelling, parameter names, and abbreviations.
 2003-01-04 01:53:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 8827d0c338 Replaced the flawed "local time" example tzinfo class with the guts 
of Guido's later Local.py (from the datetime sandbox).
 2003-01-03 22:26:57 +00:00
Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object 
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
 2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch 
661092.
 2003-01-02 20:51:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if 
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).
 2003-01-02 19:35:54 +00:00
Neal Norwitz e149798c7f Add some version info for new methods and class 2003-01-02 15:32:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 74bcac4cae - documented Ellipsis, NotImplemented 
- minor markup changes
- indented for consistency with newer content
 2003-01-02 05:13:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 45e482fd3d Document that apply() is deprecated. See: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/031556.html
 2003-01-02 04:54:04 +00:00
Tim Peters f36151556f A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier 
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
 2003-01-01 21:51:37 +00:00

Skip Montanaro 17804b1df4 new section - builtin constants 2003-01-01 20:33:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f8e543159 - use classdesc where we can (for better indexing) 
- more style consistency crud
 2002-12-31 18:31:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 436eadd455 General style conformance. Markup some unmarked constructs. 2002-12-31 18:13:11 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f621232c0d Use funcdesc instead of classdesc to be consistent with out sections. 2002-12-31 17:24:50 +00:00
Fred Drake e2c649126e Further cleanup of exceptions. All interpolation-related exceptions 
now derive from InterpolationError, which is not raised directly (only
subclasses get raised).  This matches what the docs already said.
 2002-12-31 17:23:27 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6222958500 Spelling fix 2002-12-31 16:37:03 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger cbd6cd2312 Add markup for time object. 
Cleanup whitespace.
Fix unbalanced parenthesis.
 2002-12-31 16:30:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 9532298c82 Removed the now-untrue (or soon-to-be untrue) part of the astimezone() 
docs.  Replaced it with an XXX block, because the hoped-for treatment
of DST endcases remains unclear (Guido doesn't really like raising an
exception when it's impossible to deliver a correct result, but so
far I have no way in hand to consistently deliver a defined incorrect
result either).
 2002-12-31 16:01:47 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 2852cbaf26 Document the new ,netrc awareness in nntplib. 2002-12-31 15:28:44 +00:00
Fred Drake f91b4619e0 Barry raised reasonable objections to the macro name \mimeheader, so 
we'll simply revert to \mailheader since there's no other good name.
 2002-12-31 15:23:09 +00:00
Fred Drake f14730a49a - correct the deprecation markups so this formats again 
- some minor cleanups

Guido van Rossum 8e7ec7cec8 Minor markup and spelling repair. 2002-12-31 04:39:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 81e4aa7054 - re-mark ESR's warning about extended registry syntax 
- document InterpolationSyntaxError
 2002-12-30 23:50:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 740f80029c - fix use of \refmodule markup 
- correct some module names, add hyperlinks
- wrap some long lines
 2002-12-30 23:00:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2969233f9a Add dummy_thread[ing] sections and reference these from libthread[ing]. 2002-12-30 22:34:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ad50ca91a9 Brett Cannon's dummy_thread and dummy_threading modules (SF patch 
622537), with some nitpicking editorial changes.
 2002-12-30 22:30:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a37e5cce4b We're using strictly American spellings, so there's no diaresis over 
the i in naive.

More markup fixups.
 2002-12-30 21:26:42 +00:00
Tim Peters bad8ff089a A step on the way to making tzinfo classes writable by mortals: get rid 
of the timetz case.  A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now.  In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone.  That will get
fixed next.
 2002-12-30 20:52:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 9bdeee492a Clean up a table so it passes formatting. 2002-12-30 20:35:32 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 0de926fd12 Added the \var{} markup so the tables will look good. 2002-12-30 20:21:21 +00:00

Raymond Hettinger 40f6217092 SF patch 658251: Install a C implementation of the Mersenne Twister as the 
core generator for random.py.
 2002-12-29 23:03:38 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c7b076928c Incorporate Skip's suggestion to use SciPy's validation test near 
equality.  Note, there is another flavor that compares to a given
number of significant digits rather than decimal places.  If there
is a demand, that could be added at a later date.
 2002-12-29 17:59:24 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f8bcfb13f1 SF Bug 645777: list.extend() works with any iterable and is no longer 
experimental.
 2002-12-29 05:49:09 +00:00
Tim Peters 276a8f3b80 astimezone(): document that None is an OK argument. 2002-12-27 21:41:32 +00:00

Martin v. Löwis 438b534ad0 Patch #657889: Implement posix.getloadavg. 2002-12-27 10:16:42 +00:00
Tim Peters 60c76e4016 Make comparison and subtraction of aware objects ignore tzinfo if the 
operands have identical tzinfo members (meaning object identity -- "is").
I misunderstood the intent here, reading wrong conclusion into
conflicting clues.
 2002-12-27 00:41:11 +00:00
Just van Rossum 8982595870 Backing out patch #642578 in anticipation of final acceptance of PEP 302. 2002-12-25 23:13:34 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time 
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().
 2002-12-25 16:37:19 +00:00
Tim Peters 80475bb4d2 Implemented datetime.astimezone() and datetimetz.astimezone(). 2002-12-25 07:40:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 52d134874f Removed blurb admonishing users to raise an exception if the datetime 
argument to a tzinfo method doesn't have a matching tzinfo member.
 2002-12-24 16:34:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 2483b61e03 Added note about technical pickle limitation on tzinfo instances. 2002-12-24 16:30:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 1cff9fc97c tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst} can return timedelta (or integer or None). 
{timetz,datetimetz}.{uctcoffset,dst} do return timedelta (or None).
 2002-12-24 16:25:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 12bf339aea Implemented .replace() methods for date, datetime, datetimetz, time and 
timetz.
 2002-12-24 05:41:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 29fb9c7e07 Brought the strftime explanation into synch with the plain-text sandbox 
docs, and moved its section to the end (before the "C API" section,
which latter doesn't really belong in the Library manual).
 2002-12-23 22:21:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 446f32367b Add in the datetime docs now that they pass LaTeX. Still ugly, but that can 
be fixed.
 2002-12-23 19:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake bbdb250862 Lots of markup changes. This is still pretty sad, but passes LaTeX 
and is mostly readable.
 2002-12-23 18:58:06 +00:00
Fred Drake ce5200842e Move the examples of concrete tzinfo classes to a separate file, so the 
verbatim environment does not bollux page breaking.
 2002-12-23 18:52:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a80a3ec21 Added docs for (draft) pkgutil module. 2002-12-23 16:53:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 8ed8320827 Fixed longstanding bug in the description of strftime's %W code. 2002-12-20 17:15:39 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling ca2623a2f9 Check in current, unfinished, draft of datetime docs 
(Fred, don't bother to add to lib.tex or to proofread this yet.)
 2002-12-18 14:59:11 +00:00
Fred Drake e0f02f0826 Fix some small markup nits. 2002-12-18 02:07:14 +00:00

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.
 2002-12-17 16:15:34 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 212b43f90c Add markup for base parameter 2002-12-17 01:24:11 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 046b8a7244 Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of eval 
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.
 2002-12-17 01:08:06 +00:00
Neal Norwitz e9ce25e512 Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documented 
Added doc for functions new to 2.2:  classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings.  Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.

Backport candidate.
 2002-12-17 01:02:57 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 786ddb29c9 Fixed bug 
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

Just van Rossum edd179ee77 typo fix. 2002-12-15 13:14:22 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 866964c3a3 Apply SF patch 652930: Add optional base argument to math.log(x[, base]). 2002-12-14 19:51:34 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is 
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.
 2002-12-12 16:41:44 +00:00
Just van Rossum b083cb3901 Patch #651621, approved by MvL. 
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.
 2002-12-12 12:23:32 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 0479104a91 Patch #651006: Better explain what component might be empty. 2002-12-11 12:55:53 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger d2bef8256b Update comments about the performance of xrange(). 2002-12-11 07:14:03 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations 
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

Just van Rossum 3eb166b49b Slightly improved version of patch #642578: "Expose PyImport_FrozenModules 
in imp". This adds two functions to the imp module: get_frozenmodules()
and set_frozenmodules().
 2002-11-29 20:47:40 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e33d3df030 SF Patch 643443. Added dict.fromkeys(iterable, value=None), a class

Walter Dörwald f171540ab8 Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argument 
that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but

 2002-11-18 09:01:24 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 8ddc176e2e Improve DictMixin. 
Replaced docstring with comments.  Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
   to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
   work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

Tim Peters b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher 
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.
