Fred Drake 2b6d7bc151 Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

2000-12-11 20:57:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

Fred Drake b62966c175 Note that, as of Python 1.6, the .returns_unicode attribute on parser
objects can be modified at any point with the expected results.
2000-12-07 00:00:21 +00:00

Fred Drake 57657bce94 Update Moshe Zadka's email address to one works and might last a while. 2000-12-01 15:25:23 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 5725d1eb03 Backing out my changes.
Improved version coming soon to a Source Forge near you!
2000-11-30 19:30:21 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 1a62750eda Added .first{item,value,key}() to dictionaries.
Complete with docos and tests.
OKed by Guido.
2000-11-30 12:31:03 +00:00
Fred Drake c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary;
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.
2000-11-30 07:12:54 +00:00
Fred Drake f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.
2000-11-29 06:10:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO
modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.
2000-11-28 16:24:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 6763b31731 Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formatting

Andrew M. Kuchling 620ec9d1ca Document the new setupterm() function 2000-11-18 17:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.
2000-11-17 19:44:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 977fe96a05 Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, and
breaks things.
2000-11-17 19:09:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00

Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.

Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
2000-11-01 03:12:34 +00:00
Fred Drake efffe8e317 Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere,
and to provide more consistent indexing.

Added an index entry.

Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
2000-10-29 05:10:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aecfc9681 Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from the
basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>.

This closes bug #119485.
2000-10-26 21:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dba66cb72 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method
was added in 2.0.
2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00

Fred Drake 1491cace2a Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre Lemburg
<mal@lemburg.com>.

Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
