Fred Drake e06d025e00 Use \versionchanged to indicate when the second parameter to utime()
was allowed to be None.
2000-05-02 17:29:35 +00:00
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
