Brett Cannon c8aa848ece Have test_mkalias_relative check that sys.prefix already exists; otherwise test
is pointless.

Also add a note to the docs for the 'test' package that test cases should check
first that any conditions needed in the operating system are met before having
a test run.

Closes bug #1077302.  THanks, Ian Holsman.

Tim Peters 7f13cfa674 os.walk(): Changed the "sum of bytes consumed by files" example to use
a generator expression instead of a listcomp.

Not a backport candidate (genexps are new in 2.4).
2004-11-22 16:53:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 919a3b40f9 SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.

Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.

Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

2004-11-04 21:27:48 +00:00
Armin Rigo 80adba6873 Mistakes in the "sequence types" page:
* explanation for example with lists of lists made confusing use of
  the word "contains" to mean "is built out of".

* wrong formula for slices with step.  Is it ok to use LaTeX formulas
  (which become images in the html document)?  This version needs one
  because it's based on a fraction.  Just writing "\code{(j-i)/k}" here would
  be ambiguous because it looks like a rounding-down-to-the-previous-integer
  division, which is not what we need here.  Of course we could write
  "\code{float(j-i)/k}" but it just looks confusing.

following:

On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).

Barry Warsaw bb11386730 Big email 3.0 API changes, with updated unit tests and documentation.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

Tim Peters 01ba799244 A number of list examples used 66.6, but I doubt there's any box on which
repr(66.6) == "66.6", so doubt that the claimed output has ever been seen.

2004-09-28 16:12:50 +00:00
Edward Loper 7d88a58e85 Reverted the addition of a NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, per Tim Peter's
request.  Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated."  (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
2004-09-28 05:50:57 +00:00
Edward Loper aec3c9b54f Added a new NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, which causes number literals in

* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full

* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
  findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.

* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
  functions.  This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
  re.match().
