Barry Warsaw b8c20a723f More updates describing FutureWarnings. 2002-08-14 16:40:54 +00:00
Neal Norwitz d68f5171eb As discussed on python-dev, add a mechanism to indicate features
that are in the process of deprecation (PendingDeprecationWarning).
Docs could be improved.

Fred Drake 8d62e94761 Minor wording change. 2002-03-28 21:06:17 +00:00
Skip Montanaro bb6bbc45c0 add exception class hierarchy. This should probably be done differently,
but at least the content is there.
2002-03-28 20:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
2001-11-28 07:26:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 8c2c3d301b Update the documentation to reflect the changes to ReferenceError. 2001-10-06 06:10:54 +00:00
Fred Drake c69205526a Added reference to Tutorial section on user-defined exceptions for
information on defining new exceptions.
This closes SF bug #443559.
2001-09-21 21:12:30 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 4f1cd8bdcb Patch #411138: Rename config.h to pyconfig.h. Closes bug #231774. 2001-07-26 13:41:06 +00:00
Fred Drake c046e97dc2 Add StopIteration to the list of exceptions *not* derived from StandardError.
Slightly re-word discussion of SystemExit and fork().
This is part of SF patch #443788.
2001-07-23 19:19:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 682d5f3cda Follow the recommended practices for keystroke representation; this
improves internal consistency in the documentation.
2001-07-12 02:09:51 +00:00
Fred Drake f42cc45f1b The general iteration support is part of 2.2, not 2.1 -- fixed the version
annotations!

Also fixed a typo noted by Neil S.
2001-05-03 04:39:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 9cfe1824c2 Add documentation for the StopIteration exception. 2001-05-03 04:30:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1367b83797 Document warning categories. 2000-12-19 04:27:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 7acb21866c Minor clarifications in the introductory paragraph. 2000-09-09 03:28:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 88c023b863 Remove comment about -X and string exceptions. Error noted by
Justin D. Pettit <jpettit@raznick.com>.
2000-09-07 16:33:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b32aa5ecef Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to source
code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and
is less likely to be available to end users.
2000-08-17 22:29:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 30f76ffd00 Update version numbering from 1.6 to 2.0. 2000-06-30 16:06:19 +00:00
Fred Drake cebda6f5f0 Added documentation for WindowsError; omission noted by Michal Bozon
<bozon@natur.cuni.cz>.

(Mark Hammond, other Python/Windows cognoscenti: please check this!)

(Very rough.)

Fred Drake ffbe68723a Make internal module references hyperlinks wherever it makes sense. 1999-04-22 21:23:22 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f2b4554403 Document the correct class hierarchy for SystemExit. It is not an
error and so it derives from Exception and not SystemError.
1999-02-24 00:27:14 +00:00
Fred Drake d0bceeeb59 Move \versionadded macros to end of descriptions. 1999-02-02 18:00:40 +00:00

description.
1998-12-01 19:48:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1e151322fb Added documentation for NotImplementedError. Fred (I'm sure) will
sanitize for your protection :-)
1998-12-01 19:19:21 +00:00
Fred Drake f65e323101 Fix remaining {\rm ...} construct. 1998-11-25 20:55:03 +00:00

reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 27467e4b7e Logical markup. 1998-07-23 19:47:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a1cc3e171 Use of \key and \kbd were isolated to one instance each in this file;
normalize to \kbd to allow removal of \key from the document class.
1998-04-28 13:38:54 +00:00
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.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Fred Drake a46f84d293 Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in the
normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eb0f066fb8 Correct small nits reported by Rob Hooft. 1997-12-30 20:38:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e0799817e The \indexsubitem definition for the actual exceptions did not actually
change the \indexsubitem value; fixed.
1997-12-16 14:54:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cd7ecb10b The sequence behavior is now on the Exception root class rather than
on the StandardError class.
