Fred Drake cf43004b83 Fix broken HTML in the head; this was reported by a user as causing Opera 6.01
to crash.  The user has reported the problem to Opera, but we still should
generate something that passes for HTML.

Walter Dörwald b25c2b0a4a [Apply SF patch #504943]
This patch makes it possible to pass Warning instances as the first
argument to warnings.warn. In this case the category argument
will be ignored. The message text used will be str(warninginstance).

Fred Drake 2f31d561d5 Clarify that copy_reg.pickle() is not intended for use with "classic" classes.
This was stated before, but a minor grammatical error made it difficult to be
sure of the meaning.
This closes SF bug #530143.

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 314bae50b9 Documentation for PyObject_GetIter(), contributed by Greg Chapman

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 632bda3aa0 Add more explanation of how data_files is used (esp. where the files end up
in the installation and how that location is determined).
2002-03-08 22:02:06 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 10b3eac278 [Bug #486527] Note that the caller has to ensure there are no control
characters in strings being passed via XML-RPC.
Fix some typos.

2.2.1 bugfix candidate.
2002-03-08 17:46:02 +00:00
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!

2002-03-05 04:04:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 9479c958c5 Remove extra indenatation from sample interpreter session.
Remove whitespace from the middle of an inline RE example; it was OK for
the typeset formats, but LaTeX2HTML is more touchy about this.

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-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
2002-02-01 11:27:43 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c318260a71 added handle_error method description 2002-01-31 17:32:24 +00:00
Tim Peters c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.
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

This is a 2.2.1 candidate.

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.

Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
