Guido van Rossum 3427c1f71b Sjoerd Mullender:
In splithost, accept empty host part in URLs.  This is required for
file URLs that can have an empty host part.  For such URLs, we should
not return the initial 2 slashes as part of the file name.

Fred Drake 85b5683307 Remove extraneous "contains" -- pointed out by Daniel Barclay
<danielb@digitalfocus.com>.

Added credit to Martin von Loewis for creating the module and
documentation.

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.

Fred Drake b216060627 Make the reference to the os module in the module synopsis (for the
table at the front of the chapter) a hyperlink.

Just van Rossum 3e2d73fef8 Don't set type of application, it's taken care of elsewhere -- jvr 1999-06-30 19:31:14 +00:00
Fred Drake f1ad207f2a Made several grammatical corrections based on comments from Daniel
Barcla <danielb@digitalfocus.com>.

Also added example of what happens when a parameter is set both
positionally and by a keyword (one of Daniels suggestions related to
that paragraph).

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.

Fred Drake 9b59a303a8 Added some reminders. 1999-06-29 18:54:03 +00:00
Fred Drake d85b5a418a Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.

This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
1999-06-29 18:15:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 6bf37debb9 Added some minor prose before the descriptions of the data attributes
to make it clear that these are instance attributes, not module data.

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.

cannot be byteswapped.

Fred Drake b8690fbc95 Define NotANumber as a subclass of ValueError when using class-based
exceptions.

When raising NotANumber, pass the string that failed as the exception
value.

Fred Drake 9e0b6229f6 Comment out XXX comment; this needn't appear in the formatted
versions.  XXX comments only need to be grep-able.

Fred Drake ef1a029d4c Add note about not being able to use this module with modules not
implemented in Python.

Fred Drake 7a65a26f81 Separate documentation of SUNAUDIODEV from sunaudiodev; this mirrors
similar constructs elsewhere (al/AL, gl/GL/DEVICE).
1999-06-27 14:53:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 14ae4b48fb Fix some typos.
Add an index entry.

Fred Drake 5c4012adc0 While we're at it, convert to docstrings and set the indentation level
to 4.
1999-06-25 18:53:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 7e990323b4 Moshe's section on the sched module, with edits. 1999-06-25 18:52:44 +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.

Guido van Rossum 16e0bab4ab Close debugger when closing. This may break a cycle. 1999-06-25 17:26:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ba5a59c834 Break cycle on close. 1999-06-25 17:25:22 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 30455f3050 Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree. 1999-06-25 17:07:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fed9b914b5 Extend _close() to break cycles.
Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).
1999-06-25 16:09:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 205afb487a Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
It closes more than before.

Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
_close().  It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
1999-06-25 16:06:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dd4dda87c1 Add close() method that breaks cycles. 1999-06-25 16:04:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 374c0dfb10 Add unregister() method.
Unregister everything at closing.
Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().
1999-06-25 16:03:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e689f0087e Add close() method that breaks a cycle. 1999-06-25 16:02:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7ea8f8404c Break some cycles when the widget is destroyed. 1999-06-25 15:53:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 624a191512 Patch from Sjoerd Mullender:
Make argument names equal to what is used in the documentation of the
file object, since chunks are supposedly file-like.

I just noticed that the changes below also apply to cmpcache.py, which
is virtually identical to cmp.py.

Guido van Rossum 3aa9ca147b Patch by Mikael Lyngvig:
1. Fix incorrect file open mode on Win32 platforms (use "rb" instead
of "r").

2. Add shallow parameter to cmp.cmp().  If false, deep file
comparisons are made.

The module should be 100 percent backwards compatible.

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...)

Guido van Rossum 336a201d4f Sjoerd Mullender writes:
Urllib makes the URL of the opened file available through the geturl
method of the returned object.  For local files, this consists of
file: plus the name of the file.  This results in an invalid URL if
the file name was relative.  This patch fixes this so that the
returned URL is just a relative URL in that case.  When the file name
is absolute, the URL returned is of the form file:///absolute/path.

[I guess that a URL of the form "file:foo.html" is illegal...  GvR]

Guido van Rossum ff3a278d3b Small patch by Tim Peters - it was using self.maxlist when it should
be using self.maxdict.
