load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)
Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.
returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.
In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.
by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions. It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.
This closes SourceForge bug #111520.
massaging for markup consistency. This closes SourceForge patch #101063.
Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types.
Small markup nits elsewhere.
did the same anyway.
I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
PyRun_InteractiveLoop(): Added descriptions.
PyExc_WindowsError: Added to list of standard exceptions and added note
about the right preprocessor symbol to use to protect
code that uses it.
be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
are easily misinterpreted.
Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.
Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
