Andrew M. Kuchling 0690c86a2a Document the returns_unicode attribute 2000-08-17 23:15:21 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

Fred Drake b32aa5ecef Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to source
code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and
is less likely to be available to end users.

Fred Drake 5772c86816 Document socket.getfqdn(). 2000-08-16 14:21:42 +00:00
Thomas Wouters caa658d047 Apply SF patch #101151, by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.

Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types.

Small markup nits elsewhere.
2000-08-12 03:36:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 0be5aab04d Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they
did the same anyway.

I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
2000-08-11 22:15:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 46479d3740 Some minor clarifications and added some index entries. 2000-08-11 20:34:27 +00:00

           Tim Peters.
2000-08-11 20:19:51 +00:00
Fred Drake a8e484c8f5 getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will
be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
	the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
	are easily misinterpreted.

Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.

Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
2000-08-11 19:55:06 +00:00

Language Services."

Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
2000-07-16 19:01:10 +00:00

Eric S. Raymond 7ae3a5e79d Resynchronize the TeX docs with (a) the module docstring, and (b) my recent
fix to the code to make it behave like the module docstring.
2000-07-12 02:56:15 +00:00
Fred Drake acab3d61e9 Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
2000-07-11 16:30:30 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.
2000-07-10 18:11:00 +00:00

Fred Drake 29fa30ea6b Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTML
version (actually a LaTeX2HTML bug), and clarified a sentence in the
mktime() description based entirely on comments from Grant Griffin
<grant.griffin@honeywell.com>.
2000-07-06 18:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).
2000-07-06 04:51:04 +00:00

2000-07-05 02:24:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines.

proper headers for a module.

Fred Drake 52dc76c81f Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>:
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.

[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]

IMAP4 commands. Also changed the command descriptions
to show optional extra commands where appropriate.

Fred Drake:
Added example usage for the search() method based on comments from

when arguments are missing from search() and uid().
2000-05-26 04:08:37 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling f1dc5fa2c8 Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

Guido van Rossum c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention

conditional on HAVE_RINT.

The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.
2000-05-09 16:23:23 +00:00

Fred Drake e06d025e00 Use \versionchanged to indicate when the second parameter to utime()
was allowed to be None.

Guido van Rossum d67ddbbec1 Eric Raymond:
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources.  Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename.  The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.

(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.

Barry Warsaw 93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
