Fred Drake e73ad2a21f Use the standard expression for the availability statement for alarm(). 2002-02-15 20:59:43 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 8d1fdafd89 note that the alarm function is not available on Windows. 2002-02-15 20:36:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 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.

Fred Drake 791c351b3d Update example to no longer use the FCNTL module. 2001-05-10 15:57:17 +00:00
Fred Drake f8ca7d88c6 Fixed lots of small nits caught by Ka-Ping Yee <ping@lfw.org>. 2000-10-10 17:03:45 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Guido van Rossum 5fc9c869dd SIGTERM is no longer caught to call sys.exitfunc.
This change was made long ago but the documentation was never updated.

Andrew M. Kuchling 42db27fedc Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
    exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
    when the main line of the program resumes execution.  Is this guaranteed
    in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?

Also fixed a typo.

Fred Drake a5aefbad5a Fix markup where C include files get named in <...> form; bug reported by
Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>.

Fred Drake 295da24eaf New section header style.
Fix up a few synopses.

Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 52481484e6 Clarify the type of the signal handler. 1998-06-09 15:42:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a0351cf85 Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere. 1998-04-04 07:23:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 82143348aa Remove obsolete \setindexsubitem macro. 1998-04-04 06:28:14 +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.

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.

Fred Drake 55f4492859 Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new
constructs should be used.
