Barry Warsaw 5e634638e6 The email package documentation, currently organized the way I think 
Fred prefers.  I'm not sure I like this organization, so it may change.

Fred Drake c0765c2381 Minor changes. 2001-09-25 16:32:02 +00:00
Fred Drake c825280ea5 Revise the example to be more resiliant in the face of continued use after 
the object has been pickled; don't mutate the instance dict in the
__getstate__() method.  Other minor changes for style.  Broke up the
displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for
typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example.

This closes SF bug #453914.

Tim Peters 2c9aa5ea8d Generalize file.writelines() to allow iterable objects. 2001-09-23 04:06:05 +00:00
Tim Peters 8a9c284437 Make difflib.ndiff() and difflib.Differ.compare() generators. This 
restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing
output before the entire comparison is complete.

Tim Peters e0b2d7ac9a Add a function to compute a class's method resolution order. This is 
easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and
different approaches are needed "depending".  The function will allow
later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.

Fred Drake 038d26410d Note that files are iterable; describe what the iterator returns.

Tim Peters 2e29bfbe1a Document new file() constructor, with the body of open()'s text, plus a 
"new in 2.2" blurb at the end.  Replace open()'s text by pointing back
to file().

Guido van Rossum 83eeef4b06 SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks: 
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
   that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
   pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
   turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
   On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
   that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
   encountered in the path.

   Example:
   >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
   '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

Guido van Rossum f7fcf5eea6 SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplib 
This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
   over TLS) to the smtplib module:

   - A starttls() function
   - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and
     files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject
   - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
     of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
 2001-09-14 16:08:44 +00:00
Fred Drake b9a96282f1 Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profile 
and trace functions; this now declares that None will be passed for the
"call" event.

Fred Drake b86677079d Move the long minidom example to a separate file; \verbatiminput does the 
right thing with page breaks in long examples, while the verbatim
environment does not.  This causes the example to wrap to the next page
instead of overwriting the page footer and bottom margin.
