Guido van Rossum bf5a774bcb On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it 
instead of raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The
other one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch
#440487.
 2001-07-12 11:27:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 91f2f26d75 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
 2001-07-06 19:28:48 +00:00
Fred Drake c0dac1a58c Beef up the unicode() description a bit, based on material from AMK's

Marc-André Lemburg 6f77667a64 Backed out the unistr() builtin. 2001-01-19 21:36:19 +00:00
Fred Drake bc0b260a77 Minor markup cleaning, and one required fix in the unistr() description. 2001-01-18 18:09:07 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str() 
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Fred Drake 9c15fa7a0f Description of long(): A string parameter is no longer required to be 
*decimal*.

This closes SF bug #127273.
 2001-01-04 05:09:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note 
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.
 2000-11-17 19:44:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 1349437e4c When referring to namespaces, always say "namespaces" instead of 
"name spaces".

Inconsistency noted by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
 2000-09-12 16:23:48 +00:00

	and one really minor usage nit.  Introduce use of \moreargs instead
	of hardcoding "..." with \optional.
 2000-08-03 17:29:13 +00:00

 2000-04-06 14:43:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 1e862e8a37 Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter; 
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).
 2000-02-17 17:45:52 +00:00

 1998-08-24 20:30:07 +00:00

Fix up a few synopses.
 1998-08-10 19:42:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5fdd119aba Clarify the + and b mode characters for open() a bit. 1998-07-29 21:05:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
 1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have 
the empty prompt.
 1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by 
locals().
 1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to 
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
 1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b303b4bdd Signature for dir() omitted the optional argument. 1998-04-16 22:10:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 6251c169c6 Small nits. 
One more index entry.

Be more specific about an exception raised by range().
 1998-04-03 07:15:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a73d4db51 Removed reference to ni module. 1998-04-02 18:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain, 
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
 1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 53525379da Logical markup. 1998-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long 
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
 1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous 
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
 1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Fred Drake af8a015c93 Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}" 
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"

	      Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
	      Leaving it for now.
 1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to 
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().
