readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either

Add a version annotation for splitdrive(); old, but as long as I managed
...
to end up with the information, it is better recorded than lost.
2001-05-25 16:21:00 +00:00
c6d8f8d2ac
Add descriptions of {}.iteritems(), {}.iterkeys(), and {}.itervalues()
...
in the table of mapping object operations. Re-numbered the list of
notes to reflect the move of the "Added in version 2.2." note to the list
of notes instead of being inserted into the last column of the table.
2001-05-25 04:24:37 +00:00

One more update related to the new get() and setdefault() methods on the

Message object.
2001-05-22 22:00:40 +00:00

Update to add get() and setdefault() as supported mapping operations, and

e9719fe1a7
Fix bug in smtplib example: the prompt said to end the message with ^D,
...
but doing so raised EOFError. This makes it work as advertised and
converts to string methods where reasonable.

96d7a70630
Replace "\begin{classdesc}{SomeClass}{\unspecified}" with
...
"\begin{classdesc*}{SomeClass}" -- the rendering of \unspecified was
identical to \moreargs, so this helps clarify things just a little.

Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.
...
(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should

it.)

There is no IMAP class in the imaplib module; the class is IMAP4.

There is no imap module; refer to imaplib instead, since it exists.
Move the "See Also:" section in front of the sub-sections, for
consistency with other portions of the library reference.
This closes the library reference portion of SF bug #420216 .

0dbb4fba4c
Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
...
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)
That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.
2001-04-20 16:50:40 +00:00
1aec3a16f3
Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
...
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

Cut-&-paste-o noted by Wolfgang Teschner: decompressobj() returns

Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead of

introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.
2001-04-18 17:26:20 +00:00
293f77af6f
Add note about the version in which GetoptError was added -- this can

bite people interested in 1.5.2 compatibility.
