Use logical (& consistent) markup.
Added a see-also section at the end.
1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00

Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be).

Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.
Made x a \var in descr of pop.
Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.
Also added pop to index.
1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
97ea116472
Documented the pop() method for lists.

As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(),

obsolete.

e5836d9811
Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;

it's already decribed that way in the description.

65b7863efc
Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between

1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
a7874d1505
Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
1b0ff2c32f
eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have

bca1207ac8
Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
...
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else. Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.
# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
777dcc6b21
Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
...
eval(raw_input(s)). The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.

a4c640e142
Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
...
and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
02379fab61
Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots.

Document transfercmd(), ntransfercmd(), delete(), rmd(), size().

Add entry for poplib.
1998-04-24 20:08:28 +00:00
42de185a77
Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has
...
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar. (Why?)
1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
a933f6a53d
Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*

times pi. Got rid of $math$ here and in one other place.

2cb824cbf9
Don't use \samp when \code is better.
...
Consistently use ' instead of ": this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense. This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard. (It also holds no new surprises!)
1998-04-09 18:10:35 +00:00
45c634ecae
Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for
...
\seemodule. This is far easier than figuring out the real problem, but it
works.
1998-04-09 15:44:58 +00:00
8a254b5967
Removed misleading comment about GNU software. This module and the zlib

Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
