Fred Drake 859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions
described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module
level.  He found this confusing.

table at the front of the chapter) a hyperlink.
1999-07-01 13:53:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d0971e33e For "Matching vs. Searching", remove comment that the section is
incomplete; I don't remember what else I thought I was going to put
in, but it looks o.k. to me know.
1999-06-29 21:21:19 +00:00

Fred Drake f5213c2a3d Usage nit: a bunch of "nor"s should have been a single "or".
Make reference to the copy_reg module a hyperlink.

Fred Drake 9e0b6229f6 Comment out XXX comment; this needn't appear in the formatted
versions.  XXX comments only need to be grep-able.
1999-06-29 15:45:09 +00:00

Fred Drake 60b66e1f7b Update to Sjoerd's documentation of the chunk module, with some
additions from Moshe's version.  Used my table for describing the
chunk format, and added some markup and index entries.
1999-06-25 17:52:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf6905f986 Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this
avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same
thing -- they aren't!  (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py
output that defines all the constants).

(XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way
to do locking now.  That's for someone else to fix...)

Fred Drake 2cd31dc3ea Added entry for curses module. 1999-06-21 21:14:30 +00:00
Fred Drake a4070cef5e Preliminary documentation for the curses module by Moshe Zadka, with
lots of markup fixes and some English nits fixed.

Still needs real review.  Some of the function signatures used in this
module are really bad!  (Two leading optional parameters? Ugh!)
