Fred Drake	8c071d4388	Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations, ... primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!). This closes SF patch #103412.	2001-01-26 20:48:35 +00:00
Tim Peters	e360d9507a	The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needs ... examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated. Here they are.	2001-01-26 10:00:39 +00:00
Fred Drake	29052482d1	Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I used ... in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6. Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.	2001-01-25 17:29:18 +00:00
Tim Peters	517ce23183	Clarify winsound.beep docs, in response to c.l.py beep brouhahalet.	2001-01-25 09:33:48 +00:00
Tim Peters	d52269bfd0	Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization ... got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).	2001-01-25 06:23:18 +00:00
Tim Peters	d7b5e88e8e	Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the ... functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.	2001-01-25 03:36:26 +00:00
Barry Warsaw	83125775e0	A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}.	2001-01-25 00:39:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw	21f37e1b88	Fixed a bug where \& was needed.	2001-01-25 00:38:15 +00:00
Barry Warsaw	8ee1a4bdeb	Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf() ... function, based on an eyeballing of the code.	2001-01-25 00:36:54 +00:00
Tim Peters	902446a28d	Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of module ... intro docs. *************** Fred: check my LaTeX! Also, the docs for whrandom should *************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.	2001-01-24 23:06:53 +00:00
Fred Drake	9368a12011	Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previous ... change to this file. Thanks, /F!	2001-01-24 18:19:40 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee	fa004ad36c	Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings. ... Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.	2001-01-24 17:19:08 +00:00
Fred Drake	b1b6a11b28	AttributeList --> NamedNodeMap ... Since there is no such thing as an AttributeList, don't say "attributes" is one.	2001-01-24 16:17:15 +00:00

Eric S. Raymond	f7f185116a	Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's ... complaints. The new version moves most of its initialization to package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for Mozilla and Links. Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works and is documented. The open_new entry point and methods are marked "deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".	2001-01-23 13:16:32 +00:00
Fred Drake	dc40ac0fe0	Added link to the "Python Codecs" project at SourceForge. ... Changed markup of the list of values for the list of meaningful "errors" values.	2001-01-22 20:17:54 +00:00
Fred Drake	0f564eaceb	Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDF ... hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the link start while still in vertical mode, which is not allowed. Including text before the link forces horizontal mode.	2001-01-22 19:06:20 +00:00
Fred Drake	5f0decf0d3	Clean up the docs for the "random" module according to comments from Tim ... Peters. This closes SF bug #125919.	2001-01-22 18:18:30 +00:00

Thomas Wouters	fe385251f4	Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime, ... ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in all cases.

Marc-André Lemburg	ad7c98e264	This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str() ... except that it always returns Unicode objects. A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

Eric S. Raymond	bd1a489759	push_source() and pop_source() entry points for shlex instances. ... These basically just make available to the user what userhook() does to the source stack. Documentation included.	2001-01-16 14:18:55 +00:00

Barry Warsaw	773d9f09be	Document function attributes for both the function type and the method ... type. The method documentation also includes a new brief discussion of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is a TypeError. Includes Skip's suggested text.	2001-01-15 20:28:50 +00:00

Fred Drake	e1d4715a6f	Update explanation of the set_location() method to indicate that in ... BTree databases, the key need not be in the database. Also, tell about the exception if the key is not in the DB for other DB types. This closes SF bug #127377.	2001-01-05 06:44:19 +00:00
Fred Drake	4e18f07613	Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as ... being "for backward compatibility." Also revert to using bisect() in the example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical usage.	2001-01-04 14:18:55 +00:00

Fred Drake	53143bec9b	Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not ... document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is to affect normal users.	2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake	1dba66cb72	Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method ... was added in 2.0.	2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00

Guido van Rossum	3d0c77b37c	Addresses the other half of Bug #112634 -- the documentation suggested ... that you can set self.version *after* calling the base class __init__. In fact it must be done *before*. (Fred, maybe the version class variable should be documented now?)	2000-08-24 16:20:32 +00:00

Fred Drake	512bb72fb0	As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange() ... returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the source file they're implemented in.

Thomas Wouters	5215225ea1	Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import ... name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word. There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly undocumented.	2000-08-17 22:55:00 +00:00

Thomas Wouters	caa658d047	Apply SF patch #101151, by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the ... 'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python wrapper.	2000-08-15 19:30:36 +00:00
Fred Drake	d066f6d780	Fix markup bug that prevented formatting. ... Adjusted some markup for consistency with the rest of the documentation and creation of the proper index entries.	2000-08-15 17:47:09 +00:00

Fred Drake	4de96c2fd8	Added Marc-Andre Lemburg's documentation for string methods, with some ... massaging for markup consistency. This closes SourceForge patch #101063. Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types. Small markup nits elsewhere.	2000-08-12 03:36:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters	0be5aab04d	Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they ... did the same anyway. I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?	2000-08-11 22:15:52 +00:00
Fred Drake	46479d3740	Some minor clarifications and added some index entries.	2000-08-11 20:34:27 +00:00

Fred Drake	a8e484c8f5	getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will ... be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about the options and long_options parameters don't have references that are easily misinterpreted.

Thomas Wouters	f8316638af	Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope ... SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.	2000-07-16 19:01:10 +00:00

Fred Drake	acab3d61e9	Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc ... elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done elsewhere in the manual. I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).	2000-07-11 16:30:30 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond	417c489def	Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write ... a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end for .ini editors as well as parsers. This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed. I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.

Fred Drake	3c62d9e656	Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and ... internal hyperlinking. Move some things around, also for consistency with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level, before sub-sections, etc.).	2000-07-06 04:51:04 +00:00

Fred Drake	c05cbb0527	Wrapped some long lines. ... Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table! (Not sure why.)
