Jeremy Hylton 88955cbe1f Change reference to execframes to naming. 2002-04-01 21:34:28 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e604875b81 Restore a minimal definition of execution frame, since other parts of
the manual refer to it.

XXX Not sure that it belongs in this section, or that the concept is
particularly important for writing documentation.  Perhaps references
to the frame should be removed entirely.
2002-04-01 21:33:55 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1824b59e89 Update programmer's note on nested functions. 2002-04-01 21:30:15 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton f3255c8540 Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a
free variable and is subject to those rules.
2002-04-01 21:25:32 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton f0c1f1badb Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a
function is enforced.
2002-04-01 21:19:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 15b68976da Remove the following restriction:
Names bound by import statements may not occur in global
    statements in the same scope.

Why not?
2002-04-01 21:18:02 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d09ed68aeb Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable.
Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.
2002-04-01 21:15:14 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 2225add242 Given lambda its own section, instead of burying it in boolean operators. 2002-04-01 21:05:21 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 53ed917d3a Update / simplify Identifiers section for nested scopes.
How do I create a cross reference to section 4.1?
2002-04-01 20:52:24 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e7d5773ed0 Update docs for nested scopes.
Replace section 4.1 with section A.3.

The new section 4.1 is titled "Naming and binding."  It includes the
text of section A.3 augmented with some of the detailed text from the
old section 4.1.

The \dfn, \index stuff is probably wrong, but I tried.

Also update other parts of appendix A to mention that nested scopes
and generators are standard features.

Jeremy Hylton 8392f36579 Update documentation of code objects.
Split the description of co_flags into two paragraphs.  The first
describes the flags that are used for non-future purposes, where
CO_GENERATOR was added.  The second describes __future__'s use of
co_flags and mentions the only one currently meaningful,
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION.

Fred Drake fe5a5388c3 Use the right types for a couple of fields of the type structure. 2002-03-29 22:46:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ffd14c9ea Started updating information about defining attributes on types.
There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real
content in the docs.

type implementation.
2002-03-28 23:45:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ab0a10913 The new files included by \verbatiminput in newtypes.tex. 2002-03-28 23:32:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 81b750d467 Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, and
include them using \verbatiminput.  This has the advantage that pages
can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than
a page won't get cut off.

Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency.

Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first
arg.

Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.
2002-03-28 23:12:09 +00:00
Fred Drake e9fba9188e Added index entries. 2002-03-28 22:36:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 00f712ee24 Extend \verbatiminput so that the typeset version provides the same appearance
as a verbatim environment.  (The HTML version is already fine.)

Fred Drake 8d62e94761 Minor wording change. 2002-03-28 21:06:17 +00:00

Fred Drake e3a3ceb2b1 Minor consistency adjustments. 2002-03-28 12:40:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bf9715a8b Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type.  These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive.  Most methods will not
use either.  These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.

If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.

If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.

These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

Fred Drake 0e4cd7f267 pdfTeX 0.13 and 0.14 do not agree on the name of the macro, and I will not
change the installed version on either of the machines I use to format the
docs.  Instead, use a compatibility hack to support both versions.  This is
also better for external users of the Python styles.
2002-03-16 04:52:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 5381588073 Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the

Fred Drake f171ad9d99 Change the way \textasciitilde is implemented so it works more consistently
(dropping tildes into data that still goes through LaTeX-like processing is
a bad idea).

Tim Peters 8f01b680c8 Change Windows file.truncate() to (a) restore the original file position,
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.

Beef up the file.truncate() docs.

Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone.  Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
2002-03-12 03:04:44 +00:00

Fred Drake e38b7e8fe9 Make the extension manual format using the Makefile; recent changes broke
the dependency information.
2002-03-11 18:42:08 +00:00
Tim Peters fb05db2cae file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, by
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function.  This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.

libstdtypes.tex:  Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb.  For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.

test_largefile:  Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more.  The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it.  I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.

CAUTION:  Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too.  The
truncation part was commented out before.  Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

Fred Drake 02d2212c8e Add entry for mac/libscrap.tex. 2002-03-08 03:18:19 +00:00
Fred Drake f3e6f06a45 I started writing more documentation on the Scrap module at one point, but
it is difficult to do without a Mac box to try things out on.  This expands
on what was there only a little bit; hopefully someone with a Mac can work
on this as well!

Tim Peters 9f4341b3b0 SF bug #501591: dir() doc is old
Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-

NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

Guido van Rossum 4f3a62d9bc There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.

This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes

This is a 2.2.1 candidate.

Guido van Rossum c33e077838 SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no

privacy violations.

Fred Drake 3d422662ad Make this do the right thing with entries which start with the percent sign,
in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.

Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index.  This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
