Guido van Rossum 89a79d19b7 Document makedirs(), removedirs(), renames() -- ESR-inspired super-versions

1998-07-24 20:48:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b193c95165 Document Ellipsis (not much of a documentation snippet, but at least

Fred Drake 78a6ddbdd1 Move files around in a different way, so CVS picks up all the changes. ;-) 1998-07-24 14:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!
1998-07-24 13:56:11 +00:00
Fred Drake cf0fb8bfee Document the 'p' format character.
Clean up some of the markup.
1998-07-23 21:18:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c457ca7ede Fix up Barry's markup, which didn't pass the latex test. ;-) 1998-07-23 20:31:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.
1998-07-23 19:50:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 27467e4b7e Logical markup. 1998-07-23 19:47:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00

1998-07-22 21:34:21 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py,

1998-07-20 13:46:10 +00:00

are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.
1998-07-01 14:10:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf51dacfb8 Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods. 1998-06-30 16:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp".
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.
1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists.
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...

cmd, multifile and smtplib.
1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.
1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between

1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
the empty prompt.
1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
