[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Fixed minor bug preventing documentation compilation.

Tim Peters 5b21df4a5c Repaired inaccuracies in the % docs. In particular, we don't (and can't)
guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.

Bugfix candidate.  Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.

Fred Drake ce5619e8a1 Update: Older versions of Python crashed when calling repr()
(including the implied call using back-ticks) of a recursive object,
but this is no longer the case.

Michael W. Hudson f0d777c56b A few days ago, Guido said (in the thread "[Python-Dev] Python
version of PySlice_GetIndicesEx"):

> OK.  Michael, if you want to check in indices(), go ahead.

Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in.  Here it is.

are interpreted.

Fred Drake e08c9dbffc Simplify the production for argument list, making sure that it
actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else.  Previously,
it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary).
This closes (again!) SF bug #493243.

when used as part of the import statement.

Note that both "as" and "None" becoming keywords in the future.

Fred Drake 074712112b Played contortionist games with the argument_list production so it

Michael W. Hudson 495afea36e Typo. 2002-06-17 12:51:57 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 5efaf7eac8 This is my nearly two year old patch
[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.

Fred Drake 293dd4b77b Fix up Guido's markup. 2002-06-04 16:25:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 92cf95f45b Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally).
Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label).  The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-).  OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.

Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.

I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive.  Please
fix this and other markup nits.  An index entry would be nice.

This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)

Type class unification invalidated the statement:  x.__getitem__[i] is not equivalent to x[i].

Fred Drake af93c4c8d9 Added a missing "|" in the grammar productions used in the reference manual
(reported by François Pinard).
Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions.
Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention
floor division in the relevant portion of the text.

Fred Drake fd867719bc Fix typo: coverted --> converted. Reported by Francois Pinard. 2002-04-09 14:39:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Jeremy Hylton 88955cbe1f Change reference to execframes to naming. 2002-04-01 21:34:28 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e604875b81 Restore a minimal definition of execution frame, since other parts of
the manual refer to it.

XXX Not sure that it belongs in this section, or that the concept is
particularly important for writing documentation.  Perhaps references
to the frame should be removed entirely.
