Fred Drake 11f89b75e1 Strike any hint that from-import-* could ever be reasonable; it's a
vile abomination and should be eradicated!

Fred Drake 2e3ae21060 Fix some nits Guido brought up last August:
- give subsection pages nicer names
- shorten some really long table cells; table cells can't wrap in the
  typeset version of the documentation

Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

Minor fixes to markup, spelling, parameter names, and abbreviations.

Tim Peters 8827d0c338 Replaced the flawed "local time" example tzinfo class with the guts
of Guido's later Local.py (from the datetime sandbox).
2003-01-03 22:26:57 +00:00
Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch
661092.
2003-01-02 20:51:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).

Tim Peters f36151556f A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.

Fred Drake 436eadd455 General style conformance. Markup some unmarked constructs. 2002-12-31 18:13:11 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f621232c0d Use funcdesc instead of classdesc to be consistent with out sections. 2002-12-31 17:24:50 +00:00
Fred Drake e2c649126e Further cleanup of exceptions. All interpolation-related exceptions
now derive from InterpolationError, which is not raised directly (only
subclasses get raised).  This matches what the docs already said.

Cleanup whitespace.
Fix unbalanced parenthesis.
2002-12-31 16:30:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 9532298c82 Removed the now-untrue (or soon-to-be untrue) part of the astimezone()
docs.  Replaced it with an XXX block, because the hoped-for treatment
of DST endcases remains unclear (Guido doesn't really like raising an
exception when it's impossible to deliver a correct result, but so
far I have no way in hand to consistently deliver a defined incorrect
result either).

Fred Drake f91b4619e0 Barry raised reasonable objections to the macro name \mimeheader, so
we'll simply revert to \mailheader since there's no other good name.

Guido van Rossum ad50ca91a9 Brett Cannon's dummy_thread and dummy_threading modules (SF patch
622537), with some nitpicking editorial changes.

Fred Drake a37e5cce4b We're using strictly American spellings, so there's no diaresis over
the i in naive.

More markup fixups.
2002-12-30 21:26:42 +00:00
Tim Peters bad8ff089a A step on the way to making tzinfo classes writable by mortals: get rid
of the timetz case.  A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now.  In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone.  That will get
fixed next.
