There is no <ISINPUT> element, just <ISINDEX>. ;-)

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.

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

1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00

Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to

Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*
