  instance variables in different ways

Jeremy Hylton 3faa52ecc4 Allow 'continue' inside 'try' clause
SF patch 102989 by Thomas Wouters
2001-02-01 22:48:12 +00:00

Thomas Wouters 8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the
'or continue' should be removed ;P

Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

Thomas Wouters f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.
