Michael W. Hudson 494cdb6d78 Add 2002 to PSF copyrights.
Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...

Tim Peters 9f4341b3b0 SF bug #501591: dir() doc is old
Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

Fred Drake 7bc6f7ac7b Consistently use \textasciicircum to produce a ^ character.
LaTeX really falls flat on this one!

Fred Drake c121745fda Update the instructions on reporting bugs to reflect that anonymous reports
are no longer accepted.

Fred Drake baf43c5036 When linking to an index page, explicitly name index.html instead of
using "./".  The later does not work nicely when browsing docs on a local
disk (as in the installed docs on Windows).

Fred Drake 210d3cca86 Update version number to match Include/patchlevel.h.

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).

Skip Montanaro c318260a71 added handle_error method description 2002-01-31 17:32:24 +00:00
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
Thomas Heller 3d62f8ca35 Fix a simple typo. Has this to be fixed also in other branches? 2002-01-14 08:37:39 +00:00

Marc-André Lemburg 3e3eacb5fc Fixed "u#" parser marker to pass through Unicode objects as-is without
going through the buffer interface API.

Added tests for this to the _testcapi module and updated docs.

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 089c7d1d5e Another name; should be added to Python 2.2.1. 2001-12-27 18:40:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 687bde9433 Added some missing index entries, noted by L. Peter Deutsch.

useful.
2001-12-27 05:10:18 +00:00
Fred Drake fd7f115a0e Fix wrongly-named formal parameters in three places: begin_y was used twice
instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin().
Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss.

Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly
described in the index.
2001-12-26 22:08:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 7fa4ec5498 Added another name. 2001-12-26 22:08:35 +00:00
Fred Drake ab2dc1d730 Added index entries similar to some recommended by Skip, and used the word
"interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to
find.
This closes SF bug #487165.
Bugfix: this should be applied for Python 2.2.1.
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.
2001-12-26 19:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake ef338ec5f9 More index entries. 2001-12-26 19:48:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b8fe288b3 Close an improperly-closed verbatim environment.
This closes SF patch #496215.

Add a little more detail to the example that had not been closed.

Bugfix: this should be made part of 2.2.1.
