Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter;
...
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.
Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that

"singed" --> "signed" (3 places)

Clarify that min and max also take multiple arguments.
1998-11-25 18:53:05 +00:00

1998-07-29 21:05:35 +00:00
a7874d1505
Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
1b0ff2c32f
eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
...
the empty prompt.
1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
7b7f6688d2
Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by

locals().
1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
777dcc6b21
Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
...
eval(raw_input(s)). The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00

Signature for dir() omitted the optional argument.

Removed reference to ni module.
1998-04-02 18:46:44 +00:00
cce1090d49
Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,
...
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
53525379da
Logical markup.
1998-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
315b5d8a7f
In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
...
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap. This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
1947991c2f
Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
...
checkin of myformat.sty.
Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.
Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
af8a015c93
Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"
...
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"
Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
Leaving it for now.
1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
fd49a964bc
Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to
...
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType. In example
for type().
1998-01-11 21:15:23 +00:00
