Neal Norwitz 212b43f90c Add markup for base parameter 2002-12-17 01:24:11 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 046b8a7244 Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of eval
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.

Neal Norwitz e9ce25e512 Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documented
Added doc for functions new to 2.2:  classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings.  Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.

Backport candidate.

Neal Norwitz 0f30dbd991 Fix SF # 626275, missing DECREF's in embedding example

I think I got all of these right.

Backport candidate.

Gustavo Niemeyer 786ddb29c9 Fixed bug
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

  follow strict LTR evaluation.

* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
  Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.

Thomas Heller 63b4dd33c9 Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup. 2002-12-12 19:35:00 +00:00
Thomas Heller 2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.
2002-12-12 16:41:44 +00:00
Just van Rossum b083cb3901 Patch #651621, approved by MvL.
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.
