Fred Drake 25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.

Fred Drake ae08853fb0 Clarify status of connection of a new instance; it *is* connected if

Guido van Rossum d67ddbbec1 Eric Raymond:
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources.  Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename.  The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.

(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.

Barry Warsaw 93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.

Fred Drake 40ee7acb95 \file and \filenq should not be used in section titles; they are not
sufficiently robust to survive the creation of bookmarks in the PDF
format.

2000-04-28 17:12:24 +00:00
Greg Ward e9792c4563 When building HTML releases, refer to */*.css and */*.html instead of
