Guido van Rossum e7b146fb3b The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee.
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.

A new docstring was added to formatter.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

Fred Drake e4f13660f8 split() docstring: Made signature and description for the first
parameter match.  Error pointed out by François
                    Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> on c.l.py.

messages for specific changes.

Guido van Rossum 1b7aec35c4 Fix PR#31 -- zfill() mishandles empty string. 1999-10-11 22:15:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9a34523e19 As Tim Peters points out, ``from string import *'' should not set re to None.
Also rename safe_env to _safe_env.

Guido van Rossum 2003204ba7 Added doc string, provided by Charles Waldman (with some reformatting
and a little editing my me).

Guido van Rossum d0753e20b2 At Barry's suggestion, plug the security leak by using an empty
__builtins__ for all calls to eval().  This still allows someone to
write string.atof("[1]*1000000") (which Jim Fulton worries about) but
effectively disables access to system modules and functions.
1997-12-10 22:59:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 90d62ab0a1 Since this module is used as a fallback in case no built-in modules
have been configured, string.atof() should not fail when "import re"
fails (usually because pcre is not there).

This opens up a tiny security hole: *if* an attacker can make "import
re" fail, they can also make string.atof(arbitrary_string) evaluate
the arbitrary string.  Nothing to keep me awake at night...

Guido van Rossum 06ba34c5d4 In string.split(), honor maxsplit (if > 0).
In string.splitfields(), ignore maxsplit if <= 0, rather than ignoring
maxsplit=0 but effectively treating negative numbers the same as
maxsplit=1.  Also made the test for maxsplit slightly more efficient
(set it to the length of the string when <= 0 so the test for its
presence can be omitted from the loop).
1997-12-01 15:25:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9694fcab53 Convert all remaining *simple* cases of regex usage to re usage. 1997-10-22 21:00:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1510565cb5 Add optional 4th argument to count(), matching find() etc.
Also change all occurrences of "x == None" to "x is None" (not that it
matters much, these functions are all reimplemented in strop -- but
count() is not).
1997-10-20 23:31:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 21aa0ef351 Changed my mind on replace().
It's now replace(str, old, new, maxsplit=0).
Note new ordering of parameters (string first);
this is more consistent with translate().
1997-04-02 05:49:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1eb9a81eb9 Added new functions replace() and replace1(). 1997-03-25 16:50:31 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 306a8a6338 Add optional third parameter to split() and splitfields(), giving the
maximum number of delimiters to parse; e.g.
splitfields("a,b,c,d", ",", 2) -> ["a", "b", "c,d"].
