Martin Panter ee3074e1f4 Issue #22088: Clarify base-64 alphabets and which characters are discarded
* There are only two base-64 alphabets defined by the RFCs, not three
* Due to the internal translation, plus (+) and slash (/) are never discarded
* standard_ and urlsafe_b64decode() discard characters as well

Also update the doc strings to clarify data types, based on revision
92760d2edc9e, correct the exception raised by b16decode(), and correct the
parameter name for the base-85 functions.

Martin Panter f817a48d17 Issues #22468, #21996, #22208: Clarify gettarinfo() and TarInfo usage
* The Windows-specific binary notice was probably a Python 2 thing
* Make it more obvious gettarinfo() is based on stat(), and that non-ordinary
  files may need special care
* The file name must be text; suggest dummy arcname as a workaround
* Indicate TarInfo may be used directly, not just via gettarinfo()

Martin Panter d5db14794b Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting
* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter
  class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more
  appropriate
* Fix references to various format() functions and methods
* Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers,
  and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance

Raymond Hettinger b00da57561 Issue #26194: Inserting into a full deque to raise an IndexError 2016-02-01 21:19:22 -08:00
Victor Stinner 5f0c5d92ef Enhance os.scandir() doc
Issue #26248, patch written by Ben Hoyt:

1) Clarify that the return values of is_dir()/is_file()/etc are cached
   separately for follow_symlinks True and False.
2) Be more specific about when the functions require a system call, and how it
   relates to caching and follow_symlinks.
3) DRY up common stuff between is_dir and is_file by saying "Caching, system
   calls made, and exceptions raised are as per is_dir" in is_file.
4) Tweak to the first paragraph of docs for is_dir/is_file to simplify: assume
   the follow_symlinks=True default, then note the follow_symlinks=False
   non-default case after.

Berker Peksag 7405c16533 Issue #18620: Improve Pool examples in multiprocessing documentation
A single call to Pool.apply_async() will create only one process. To use all
of the pool's processes, it should be invoked multiple times:

    with Pool(processes=4) as pool:
        results = [pool.apply_async(func, ()) for i in range(4)]

one.
