Guido van Rossum bf5a774bcb On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
instead of raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The
other one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch
#440487.
2001-07-12 11:27:16 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond e304bb9eec First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,
could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented.  But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.

Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff!  You both need to proof this.
2001-07-12 02:39:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 682d5f3cda Follow the recommended practices for keystroke representation; this
improves internal consistency in the documentation.
2001-07-12 02:09:51 +00:00

Fixed a minor markup bug.
2001-07-11 18:48:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
2001-07-06 20:30:11 +00:00
Fred Drake ab1df4fe88 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Add an index entry for the Telnet protocol.

Always refer to the protocol as Telnet instead of telnet.
2001-07-06 20:23:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 91f2f26d75 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make

Fred Drake 45c23e61d8 Explain the exit code for the wait() method, including a reference to
the os.W*() functions used to interpret the return value.

This fixes SF bug #429361.
2001-07-06 17:17:12 +00:00
Fred Drake bcd1df746d The fpectl module does not work on Windows, so remove Windows from the

Guido van Rossum 5fe2c139d5 List constraints on xrange() objects. 2001-07-05 15:27:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
2001-07-05 13:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 20006b2d51 Marked the parameters to Stats.print_*() as optional.
This closes SF bug #438032.
2001-07-02 21:22:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 4efb6e9643 Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
committed.

tokenize.py:  I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.

tabnanny.py:  Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling.  I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).

inspect.py:  I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version.  The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.
2001-06-29 23:51:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c209047ba Correct a markup error for an accented character.
Reported by Milan Zamazal <pdm@zamazal.org>.
2001-06-29 16:25:07 +00:00

2001-06-22 18:21:53 +00:00
Fred Drake f66cb5d0eb Corrected an error in the information on supporting weak references in

Barry Warsaw 6016e39250 Document the new encodestring() and decodestring() functions. Also,
add some description of what the quotetabs argument does for the
encode*() functions.  Finally, add a "see also" pointing to the base64
module.
2001-06-19 19:44:42 +00:00

Fred Drake 4a6c5c568f Fixed reference to table notes for {}.keys() and {}.items() -- these
references did not get updated when the notes were renumbered in a
previous update.

This fixes SF bug #432208.
2001-06-12 03:31:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 7a3bfc3a47 Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
This completes the q/Q project.

longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray:  The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.

test_struct.py:  This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.

NEWS:  Added brief dict news while I was at it.
2001-06-12 01:22:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
2001-06-11 18:25:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 046f4d810d Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added
a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"
section.

Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.
2001-06-11 15:21:48 +00:00
Fred Drake c115835457 Fix recent changes so that this section will format again. 2001-06-11 14:55:01 +00:00
Tim Peters 7b9542a3f7 Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG.  Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).

test_struct.py:  In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).

libstruct.tex:  In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
2001-06-10 23:40:19 +00:00

Fred Drake dc9e7e42c8 readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either
absolute or relative.

remove(), rename() descriptions:  Give more information about the cross-
    platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers
    can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code.

This closes SF patch #426598.
2001-05-29 18:13:06 +00:00

optional in the documentation.

This closes SF bug #427985.
2001-05-29 15:37:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 56a71eee65 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
Fred Drake 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

provide the information needed, please let me know!
2001-05-21 21:23:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 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.

This closes SF bug #424776.
2001-05-20 12:26:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c0dac1a58c Beef up the unicode() description a bit, based on material from AMK's

Fred Drake 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.

Fred Drake e9735ac215 Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.
(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should
not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows
it.)
2001-05-10 15:05:03 +00:00
Fred Drake d0de57cfbb Update the fcntl module documentation. 2001-05-09 21:09:57 +00:00

Fred Drake a7c9ac6544 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.
2001-05-09 03:49:48 +00:00

Fred Drake 4cacec5393 Fix a number of minor markup errors. 2001-04-21 05:56:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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
Fred Drake 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.
2001-04-19 04:55:23 +00:00
Fred Drake bc524c4e9f Cut-&-paste-o noted by Wolfgang Teschner: decompressobj() returns
*DE*compression objects, not compression objects!
2001-04-18 20:16:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 895aa9da4c 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
Fred Drake 293f77af6f Add note about the version in which GetoptError was added -- this can

yet).
2001-04-12 04:50:06 +00:00
Fred Drake b942c2f788 Fixed bug in example.
This closes SF bug #415522.

Also fix markup error in text following the example.
2001-04-11 21:33:47 +00:00
