Georg Brandl f8770fb5e2 #2677: add note that not all functions may accept keyword args. 2008-04-27 09:39:59 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 3822af6d3a Add *,**,@ to index, as suggested by
http://farmdev.com/thoughts/24/what-does-the-def-star-variable-or-def-asterisk-parameter-syntax-do-in-python-/

The right entry type to use isn't clear; operator seems wrong, because *,**,@
aren't being used in expressions here.  I put them as 'statement'; 'syntax'
might be better.

Jeffrey Yasskin 9871d8fe22 Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. This
round included:
 * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
 * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
   longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
   that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
   in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
   from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
   upgrade.
 * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.

Jeffrey Yasskin 2f3c16be73 Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.

Georg Brandl 7c3e79f67f Make "hashable" a glossary entry and clarify docs on __cmp__, __eq__ and __hash__.

Thanks to Tim Hatch for pointing out the flaws here.
