Thomas Heller f5af05a211 Tutorial:
Clarify somewhat how parameters are passed to functions
    (especially explain what integer means).

    Correct the table - Python integers and longs can both be used.
    Further clarification to the table comparing ctypes types, Python
    types, and C types.

Reference:

    Replace integer by C ``int`` where it makes sense.

Marc-André Lemburg 040f76b79c Slightly revised version of patch #1538956:
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.

Andrew M. Kuchling aa95fdb783 [Bug #1514540] Instead of putting the standard types in a section, put them in a chapter of their own. This means string methods will now show up in the ToC. (Should the types come before or after the functions+exceptions+constants chapter? I've put them after, for now.) 2006-07-31 16:10:24 +00:00

Fred Drake 45540b0922 SF bug #1193966: Weakref types documentation misplaced
The information about supporting weakrefs with types defined in C extensions
is moved to the Extending & Embedding manual.  Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS is
no longer mentioned since it is part of Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.

Andrew M. Kuchling 9964fdb466 [Patch #1068277] Clarify that os.path.exists() can return False depending on permissions. Fred approved committing this patch in December 2004! 2006-07-29 19:50:37 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.
