Andrew M. Kuchling 4094b3d08c Minor rewording 2006-06-03 18:43:24 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 27ca711d20 [Bug #1441864] Clarify description of 'data' argument 2006-06-03 18:41:28 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 794c89b678 [Bug #1475554] Strengthen text to say 'must' instead of 'should' 2006-06-03 18:33:35 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 29d530b3ef [Bug #1472084] Fix description of do_tag 2006-06-03 18:09:41 +00:00
Tim Peters d609b1a20e pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if 
the output required more than one line.  "Small" dicts got
displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order
produced by dict.__repr__).  None of this was documented.
Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs
promise it.

This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core
sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.

Andrew M. Kuchling 622f144175 [Bug #1473048] 
SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
lots of vulnerabilities.

Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.

Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
'/' and '/RPC2' legal.  Maybe this will break people's applications
(though I doubt it).  We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
which would exactly match the current behaviour.
 2006-05-31 14:08:48 +00:00
Brett Cannon 14a0952a1f Clarify wording on default values for strptime(); defaults are used when better 
values cannot be inferred.

Closes bug #1496315.

Guido van Rossum da5b701aee Get rid of __context__, per the latest changes to PEP 343 and python-dev 
discussion.
There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:
Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without
spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.

Nick Coghlan e708cf5d0f Fix latex typo 2006-04-25 11:05:56 +00:00
Nick Coghlan a7e820a408 Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to the 
terminology in the alpha 1 documentation.

 - "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition
 - the term "context specifier" goes away entirely
 - contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext

There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1:

  - the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the
    "context expression" in the language reference
  - the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with
    statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare
    'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the
    runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context
    objects that already exist in various application domains (such as
    decimal.Context)
  - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory
    This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the
    use of that decorator
  - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext
    Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the
    fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something
    different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable.

A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit:
contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a
generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular
context manager directly.

Andrew M. Kuchling 1da4a94719 Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded by 
the 2005 Summer of Code).

The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.

The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes.  The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.

(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)

Thomas Heller 9f7e58afa7 Documentation for ctypes. 
I think that 'generic operating system services' is the best category.
Note that the Doc/lib/libctypes.latex file is generated from reST sources.
You are welcome to make typo fixes, and I'll try to keep the reST sources
in sync, but markup changes would be lost - they should be fixed in the tool
that creates the latex file.
The conversion script is external/ctypes/docs/manual/mkpydoc.py.
