Skip Montanaro 79cddc56b3 stupid, stupid, stupid... raw_input() already supports readline() if the

2004-05-18 02:25:51 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 0e371f2cb6 Make sure "del d[n]" is properly supported. Was necessary because the
same method that implements __setitem__ also implements __delitem__.
Also, there were several good use cases (removing items from a queue
and implementing Forth style stack ops).

Fred Drake 04d92c37f2 Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The
reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice;
at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date.  ;-(

Skip Montanaro 10659f2540 bring description of optional and keyword args for DictReader and DictWriter
classes into line with the actual code.  I didn't see any obvious examples
of latex formatting for *args and **kwds so I just guessed.
