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.

Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.

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...

Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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

1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00

Fred Drake 42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar.  (Why?)
1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a933f6a53d Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*
