Fred Drake 9aa8543c84 open() description: Made it more clear that 'b' should always be
added to the mode value for binary files to improve
	portability.

Fixed latex2html weirdness with a couple of footnotes.

Fred Drake 01553706bf Added a few items to the "See also" sections at Guido's prompting. Made
more references to other modules in the text hyperlinks for the HTML and
PDF versions.

Fred Drake fa1591c129 Oops, missed mode parameter to open(). 1999-04-05 18:37:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 9bb76d1b73 Made the default mode 'rb' instead of 'r', for better cross-platform
support.  (Based on comment on the documentation by Bernhard Reiter
<bernhard@csd.uwm.edu>).

Greg Ward 06ca948029 Added all the "external action" methods (to make handling the verbose
and dry-run flags consistently painless): 'execute()', 'mkpath()',
'copy_file()', 'copy_tree()', 'make_file()', and stub for 'make_files()'
(not sure yet if it's useful).
1999-04-04 02:58:07 +00:00
Greg Ward e765a3bb61 Added 'dry_run' flag to most functions (to support the "shadow methods"
that wrap them in the Command class).
Fixed 'copy_file()' to use '_copy_file_contents()', not 'copyfile()'
  from shutil module -- no reference to shutil anymore.
Added "not copying" announcement in 'copy_file()'.
Wee comment fix.
1999-04-04 02:54:20 +00:00
Greg Ward 4070f50537 Changed to use the method versions of 'copy_file()', 'copy_tree()',
and 'make_file()'-- that way, the verbose and dry-run flags are
handled for free.

Guido van Rossum bd3bdde70b For reasons I dare not explain, this script should always execute
main() when imported (in other words, it is not usable as a module).

Guido van Rossum 60e7330fee Per Cederqvist writes:
If you send something like "PUT / HTTP/1.0" to something derived from
BaseHTTPServer that doesn't define do_PUT, you will get a response
that begins like this:

	HTTP/1.0 501 Unsupported method ('do_PUT')
	Server: SimpleHTTP/0.3 Python/1.5
	Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 18:53:53 GMT

The server should complain about 'PUT' instead of 'do_PUT'.  This
patch should fix the problem.

Fred Drake 275e83489e Added "Documenting Python" to the index. 1999-03-30 13:43:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f123f84f66 Patch by Per Cederqvist, who writes:
"""
 - It needlessly used the makefile() method for each response that is
   read from the SMTP server.

 - If the remote SMTP server closes the connection unexpectedly the
   code raised an IndexError.  It now raises an SMTPServerDisconnected
   exception instead.

 - The code now checks that all lines in a multiline response actually
   contains an error code.
"""

The Dragon approves.

Patch largely based on changes by Andrew Dalke, as discussed in the
distutils-sig.

Guido van Rossum 3527f59457 Hack so that if a 302 or 301 redirect contains a relative URL, the
right thing "just happens" (basejoin() with old URL).

Guido van Rossum 57731607c3 Chris Lawrence writes:
"""
The GNU folks, in their infinite wisdom, have decided not to implement
altzone in libc6; this would not be horrible, except that timezone
(which is implemented) includes the current DST setting (i.e. timezone
for Central is 18000 in summer and 21600 in winter).  So Python's
timezone and altzone variables aren't set correctly during DST.

Here's a patch relative to 1.5.2b2 that (a) makes timezone and altzone
show the "right" thing on Linux (by using the tm_gmtoff stuff
available in BSD, which is how the GLIBC manual claims things should
be done) and (b) should cope with the southern hemisphere.  In pursuit
of (b), I also took the liberty of renaming the "summer" and "winter"
variables to "july" and "jan".  This patch should also make certain
time calculations on Linux actually work right (like the tz-aware
functions in the rfc822 module).

(It's hard to find DST that's currently being used in the southern
hemisphere; I tested using Africa/Windhoek.)

Fred Drake 2c4e009b66 Fixed a lot of the smaller nits identified in Guido's comments.
Filled in some of the "blank" areas, and added another large blank
area for a LaTeX primer.  (Still a lot to be done.)

I should have waited overnight <wink/sigh>.  Nothing wrong with the one I

you're game!  Us Windows guys don't usually have a sed sitting around

Andrew M. Kuchling 605ebddbea Added a simple test suite for gzip. It simply opens a temp file,
writes a chunk of compressed data, closes it, writes another chunk, and
reads the contents back to verify that they are the same.
1999-03-25 21:50:27 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling f4f119c055 Based on a suggestion from bruce@hams.com, make a trivial change to
allow using the 'a' flag as a mode for opening a GzipFile.  gzip
files, surprisingly enough, can be concatenated and then decompressed;
the effect is to concatenate the two chunks of data.

If we support it on writing, it should also be supported on reading.
This *wasn't* trivial, and required rearranging the code in the
reading path, particularly the _read() method.

Raise IOError instead of RuntimeError in two cases, 'Not a gzipped file'
and 'Unknown compression method'

Andrew M. Kuchling b95227db4f Add an .unused_data attribute to decompressor objects. If .unused_data
is not an empty string, this means that you have arrived at the
end of the stream of compressed data, and the contents of .unused_data are
whatever follows the compressed stream.
