Georg Brandl 40383c8f10 Minor clarification in tutorial. 2016-02-15 17:50:33 +01:00
Martin Panter bc1ee460dc Issue #25179: Documentation for formatted string literals aka f-strings
Some of the inspiration and wording is taken from the text of PEP 498 by Eric
V. Smith, and the existing str.format() documentation.
2016-02-13 00:41:37 +00:00
Martin Panter d5db14794b Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting
* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter
  class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more
  appropriate
* Fix references to various format() functions and methods
* Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers,
  and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance

This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.

Ned Deily ffb40e5ec3 More version bumping to 3.6.
With the creation of the 3.5 branch earlier in the process,
it is necessary to do some of the version bumps now rather than at
final release time (for example, the equivalent of the 3.4->3.5 bumps
in f2bf12fa22c1).  (Some of those changes have already been made, for
example in 30f5e7ec6afe.)

R David Murray 6bd68608ff #21739: mention subtle difference between loops and listcomps in tutorial.
We don't want to go into a full explanation of scopes at this point in the
tutorial, so we just mention that the loop creates or overwrites a persistent
variable while the listcomp doesn't.  Not mentioning this would lead someone
to incorrectly assume loops and listcomps were *completely* equivalent, which
would confuse them later.

Original patch by Rose Ames, tweaked to remove the word 'scope'.

- based on pip and other PyPA tools
- includes references to the new Python Packaging User Guide

  partially filled in)
- started new FAQ sections
- both guides aim to introduce users to basic open source
  concepts if they aren't aware of them
- existing guides have been relocated (now linked from the
  distutils docs) rather then removed, since there is
  some needed material that has yet to be relocated to the
  distutils docs as a reference for the legacy formats
