These archives contain all the content in the documentation section.

+ +

Unpacking

+ +

Unix users should download the .tar.bz2 archives; these are bzipped tar +archives and can be handled in the usual way using tar and the bzip2 +program. The InfoZIP unzip program can be +used to handle the ZIP archives if desired. The .tar.bz2 archives provide the +best compression and fastest download times.

+ +

Windows users can use the ZIP archives since those are customary on that +platform. These are created on Unix using the InfoZIP zip program. They may be +unpacked using the free WiZ tool (from the InfoZIP developers) or any other +tool for handling ZIP archives; any of them should work.

+ +

Note that the .tar.bz2 files are smaller than the other archives; Windows +users may want to install the bzip2 tools on their systems as well. Windows +binaries for a command-line tool are available at The bzip2 and libbzip2 official home page, but +most other archiving utilities support the tar and bzip2 formats as well.

+ + +

Problems

+ +

Printing PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0: Adobe has +reportedly admitted that there is a bug in Acrobat Reader 5.0 which causes it +not to print at least some PDF files generated by pdfTeX. This software is used +to produce the PDF version of the Python documentation, and our documents +definately trigger this bug in Acrobat Reader. To print the PDF files, use +Acrobat Reader 4.x, ghostscript, or xpdf.

+ +

Reportedly, Acrobat Reader 6.0 can print these documents without this +problem, but we've not yet had an opportunity to confirm the report. Sadly, +version 6.0 is not yet available on Unix platforms.

+ +

If you have comments or suggestions for the Python documentation, please send +email to docs@python.org.

Implemented by XXX. Backported to 2.6 by Benjamin Aranguren, with Alex Martelli. +.. ====================================================================== + +.. _pep-3141: + +PEP 3141: A Type Hierarchy for Numbers +===================================================== + +In Python 3.0, several abstract base classes for numeric types, +inspired by Scheme's numeric tower, are being added. +This change was backported to 2.6 as the :mod:`numbers` module. + +The most general ABC is :class:`Number`. It defines no operations at +all, and only exists to allow checking if an object is a number by +doing ``isinstance(obj, Number)``. + +Numbers are further divided into :class:`Exact` and :class:`Inexact`. +Exact numbers can represent values precisely and operations never +round off the results or introduce tiny errors that may break the +communtativity and associativity properties; inexact numbers may +perform such rounding or introduce small errors. Integers, long +integers, and rational numbers are exact, while floating-point +and complex numbers are inexact. + +:class:`Complex` is a subclass of :class:`Number`. Complex numbers +can undergo the basic operations of addition, subtraction, +multiplication, division, and exponentiation, and you can retrieve the +real and imaginary parts and obtain a number's conjugate. Python's built-in +complex type is an implementation of :class:`Complex`. + +:class:`Real` further derives from :class:`Complex`, and adds +operations that only work on real numbers: :func:`floor`, :func:`trunc`, +rounding, taking the remainder mod N, floor division, +and comparisons. + +:class:`Rational` numbers derive from :class:`Real`, have +:attr:`numerator` and :attr:`denominator` properties, and can be +converted to floats. Python 2.6 adds a simple rational-number class +in the :mod:`rational` module. + +:class:`Integral` numbers derive from :class:`Rational`, and +can be shifted left and right with ``<<`` and ``>>``, +combined using bitwise operations such as ``&`` and ``|``, +and can be used as array indexes and slice boundaries. + +In Python 3.0, the PEP slightly redefines the existing built-ins +:func:`math.floor`, :func:`math.ceil`, :func:`round`, and adds a new +one, :func:`trunc`, that's been backported to Python 2.6. +:func:`trunc` rounds toward zero, returning the closest +:class:`Integral` that's between the function's argument and zero. + +.. seealso:: + + XXX link: Discusses Scheme's numeric tower. + + + +The Rational Module +-------------------------------------------------- + +To fill out the hierarchy of numeric types, a rational-number class +has been added as the :mod:`rational` module.
