Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

Tim Peters c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

Fred Drake c26467d53f Revise cheeseshop example so that the order of the keyword output is
completely determined by the example; dict insertion order and the string
hash algorithm no longer affect the output.
This fixes SF bug #509281.

Guido van Rossum 4f3a62d9bc There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.

This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes

This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
2002-01-15 19:21:05 +00:00

Guido van Rossum c33e077838 SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password.  This avoids
privacy violations.
2001-12-28 20:54:28 +00:00

Fred Drake ab2dc1d730 Added index entries similar to some recommended by Skip, and used the word

find.
This closes SF bug #487165.

2001-12-26 20:06:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d422662ad Make this do the right thing with entries which start with the percent sign,
in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.

Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index.  This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
