Martin v. Löwis b5c980b802 Add unidata_version. Bump generator version number. 2002-11-25 09:13:37 +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.

that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but
returns a long object instead.

This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115
 2002-11-19 20:49:15 +00:00

   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.

Fred Drake 08abe8e275 Fix stupid typo. 2002-11-15 20:32:03 +00:00
Thomas Heller e61f365b0b Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which are 
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.

I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.
 2002-11-15 20:13:26 +00:00
Thomas Heller 36343f63fe Correct typo: the option is 'formats' not 'format'. 2002-11-15 19:20:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 49b33fa4cb Squash an enormous number of warnings reported when adding "use 
warnings;" to this, and keep the "use" statement this time.

Fix an obscure bug that caused weird index entries to be generated in
a few cases, and a minor problem with horizontal alignmetn of the last
column of 5-column tables.

[I'd report a SF bug #, but I can't get to that right now.]

Skip Montanaro 649698f72e initial rough cut at documentation of logging module. This is basically 
just a conversion of pydoc.help(logging).

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.
