Raymond Hettinger d4462300db Nits from a review of the documentation update. 2003-11-26 17:52:45 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger d456849f19 Fix typo 2003-11-16 13:44:19 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py:
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

Raymond Hettinger 7ceb29e4a5 Incorporate documentation suggestions from feedback on comp.lang.python.
* Positive wording for the description of why < and > and = can all
  be False.

* Move to a three column table format that puts long method names
  side-by-side with their operator equivalents

* Mention that KeyError can be raised by Set.pop() and Set.remove().

* Minor tweaks to the examples.

Will backport as soon as Fred rebuilds the docs so I can confirm
the tables formatted properly

Raymond Hettinger e544f6f682 SF bug #663701. The caret wasn't printing well in the PDF documentation. 2003-02-14 01:49:09 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 3801ec7ff3 Document that __cmp__() is not defined for sets.
Note, that list.sort() is undefined for lists of sets.
Add the ... prompt to the example so it runs in doctest.

Fred Drake 2e3ae21060 Fix some nits Guido brought up last August:
- give subsection pages nicer names
- shorten some really long table cells; table cells can't wrap in the
  typeset version of the documentation

Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.

Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

Raymond Hettinger fa8dd5f407 Fix markup and punctuation 2002-08-23 18:10:54 +00:00
Tim Peters b81b252fab s/_as_Temporarily_Immutable/_as_temporarily_immutable/g, because the
latter is what the code actually does.

Tim Peters 54fd3e6ffc pop(): An arbitrary element is removed, not a random element. 2002-08-23 17:45:43 +00:00
Fred Drake d10c6c949a Adjust the markup in a few places so this will actually format.
Remove the third column in the tables since it isn't used.
