8668e8e49c Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modules
cmd, multifile and smtplib.
1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake
e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.
1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling
65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake
1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
the empty prompt.
1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Fred Drake
59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by
locals().
1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
872948350f Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR. 1998-06-16 22:27:40 +00:00

Guido van Rossum
444d0f87c9 Eric Raymond: added doc for isheader(); improved docs for constructor. 1998-06-11 13:50:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum

Guido van Rossum
3e5fe422cc Document several variables that were previously undocumented,
including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__.
Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
1998-06-10 17:57:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer
(all with index entries!).  Also update the list of functions that
take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum

(new!) contains.
1998-05-22 18:48:37 +00:00
Fred Drake

Bow to font lock.
1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00
Fred Drake
a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake
02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00

Guido van Rossum
2aefe8d7c0 Document changed semantics -- open() now guesses the db type and error
is now a tuple of various and sundry exceptions.
1998-04-28 15:29:26 +00:00

1998-04-28 13:38:54 +00:00

delete().
1998-04-27 14:54:06 +00:00

Fred Drake
42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar.  (Why?)
1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
a933f6a53d Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*
times pi.  Got rid of $math$ here and in one other place.
1998-04-20 14:43:44 +00:00
Fred Drake

Fred Drake
2cb824cbf9 Don't use \samp when \code is better.
Consistently use ' instead of ":  this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense.  This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard.  (It also holds no new surprises!)
1998-04-09 18:10:35 +00:00
Fred Drake
45c634ecae Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for
\seemodule.  This is far easier than figuring out the real problem, but it
works.
1998-04-09 15:44:58 +00:00
Fred Drake
8a254b5967 Removed misleading comment about GNU software. This module and the zlib
library have no relationship with GNU software other than implementing some of
the same algorithms and file format.  (The zlib module is more general.)
1998-04-09 15:41:44 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling
253328104f Many markup changes (to \regexp, mostly)
Clarified text on 8-bit cleanness, complemented sets like [^5], and {m,n}
  qualifier.
1998-04-09 14:56:04 +00:00
Fred Drake
20ca9171c1 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).

Add section for previously documented obsolete modules.  Includes ni, rand,
and soundex.
1998-04-09 14:32:28 +00:00

Fred Drake
2764dd33cf Separate sections on anydbm and dumbdbm.
This is the last separation; each module now gets its own section.  This will
be useful in performing conversions.
1998-04-07 22:08:02 +00:00

505d80b39d Jeff Kunce writes (and he is right):
Also, I just ran across a [possible] minor glitch
in the library documentation for site.py. It says:

"For example, suppose sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix are set to `/usr/local'. The
Python 1.5 library is then installed in
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5'. Suppose this has a
subdirectory `/usr/local/python1.5/site-packages'
with three subsubdirectories, `foo', `bar' and
`spam'..."

I think it should be:
"...Suppose this has a subdirectory
