Johannes Gijsbers 97613ad02d Patch #1051321 (fixes bugs 1010196, 1013525), by Mike Brown:
* Document hasFeature(), createDocument(), CreateDocumentType(),
  hasAttribute(), hasAttributeNS().

* In the documentation for createDocument(), it is now stated that the Python
  DOM API allows implementations to forego creation of the document element
  child node, if no namespace and local name arguments are given. (This
  possibility is left open and unaddressed in the W3C spec).

* Addition by me: use 'name' rather than 'attname', for consistency with the
  DOM specification and the Python DOM API implementation.

Johannes Gijsbers 836f5433f7 Patch #943206:
`glob.glob()` currently calls itself recursively to build a list of matches of
the dirname part of the pattern and then filters by the basename part. This is
effectively BFS. ``glob.glob('*/*/*/*/*/foo')`` will build a huge list of all
directories 5 levels deep even if only a handful of them contain a ``foo``
entry. A generator-based recusion would never have to store these list at once
by implementing DFS. This patch converts the `glob` function to an `iglob`
recursive generator . `glob()` now just returns ``list(iglob(pattern))``.

I also cleaned up the code a bit (reduced duplicate `has_magic()` checks and
created a second `glob0` helper func so that the main loop need not be
duplicated).

Thanks to Cherniavsky Beni for the patch!

a test run.

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.

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.
