Replace the docs for reduce with an adaptation of its docstring, which

Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...

Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to

eval(raw_input(s)). The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.

Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,

works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.

Logical markup.
1998-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
315b5d8a7f
In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
...
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap. This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
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.

Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
Leaving it for now.

Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to

perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType. In example
for type().
