599db7de63 The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That's 
never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!).  Get
closer to the truth.

2c9aa5ea8d Generalize file.writelines() to allow iterable objects. 2001-09-23 04:06:05 +00:00
Fred Drake
038d26410d Note that files are iterable; describe what the iterator returns. 
This closes SF bug #463738.

d800cff80d Added explanation that [...] * n generates shallow copies of [...], so 
the contents will be shared by multiple references.

This closes SF bug #455694.

5ef99a0bc5 Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function's 
__dict__ attribute.  Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError.  Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).

Closes SF bug #446645.

41d7d58cc4 trivial rewording in footnote 5. 2001-07-25 16:18:19 +00:00
Fred Drake
907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

5fe2c139d5 List constraints on xrange() objects. 2001-07-05 15:27:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice, 
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().

e9218a1a8e Remove the restriction on a mapping's .update() method. 2001-06-26 20:32:59 +00:00
Fred Drake
4a6c5c568f Fixed reference to table notes for {}.keys() and {}.items() -- these 
references did not get updated when the notes were renumbered in a
previous update.

This fixes SF bug #432208.

Fred Drake
c6d8f8d2ac Add descriptions of {}.iteritems(), {}.iterkeys(), and {}.itervalues() 
in the table of mapping object operations.  Re-numbered the list of
notes to reflect the move of the "Added in version 2.2." note to the list
of notes instead of being inserted into the last column of the table.
 2001-05-25 04:24:37 +00:00
Fred Drake
f42cc45f1b The general iteration support is part of 2.2, not 2.1 -- fixed the version 
annotations!

Also fixed a typo noted by Neil S.

93656e76f9 Added section describing the iterator protocol. 2001-05-02 20:18:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
8b3d6ca3df At the suggestion of Peter Funk, document 'key in dict' and 'key not 
in dict' after has_key(), with a \versionadded{2.2} note.
 2001-04-23 13:22:59 +00:00
Fred Drake
82f93c693d Only document <file>.xreadlines() once; added version annotation. 
This closes SF bug #417943.

4cacec5393 Fix a number of minor markup errors. 2001-04-21 05:56:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict". 
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

d4614e8371 Updates to the semantics of function and method attributes. 2001-02-27 03:32:35 +00:00
Fred Drake
8c071d4388 Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations, 
primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!).

This closes SF patch #103412.

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
3c48ef7de8 Added documentation for the xreadlines module & related changes. The 
documentation was written by Jeff Epler (thanks!).
 2001-01-09 22:47:46 +00:00
Fred Drake
19ae78302e Added information about the interaction of opening a file in append mode 
and seek() in the description of seek().

This closes SF bug #126850.

Complete with docos and tests.
OKed by Guido.

17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note 
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.

a776cea71a Document the proper exception to be raised by I/O operations on closed 
files; error reported by Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com>.

Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.

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

0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is 
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.
 2000-10-04 04:21:19 +00:00
Fred Drake
fffe5dbc47 Fixed a number of small problems reported by Detlef Lannert 
<lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.

51f53df4c8 Clarify that the softspace attribute is used by print for state management, 
not as a user-controlled parameter.
 2000-09-20 04:48:20 +00:00
Fred Drake
752ba39a0b Clarify a number of issues about the file-like object API based on 
discussion on python-dev.
 2000-09-19 15:18:51 +00:00

d5d0435617 Use \shortversion in a number of places. 
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.
 2000-09-14 20:24:17 +00:00
Fred Drake
66d32b1e12 Add some index entries to make it easier to find information on 
%-formatting of strings.
 2000-09-14 17:57:42 +00:00

1349437e4c When referring to namespaces, always say "namespaces" instead of 
"name spaces".

Inconsistency noted by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
 2000-09-12 16:23:48 +00:00
Fred Drake
66571cc20c Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them 
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).

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.

In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.
 2000-08-18 03:12:38 +00:00
Fred Drake
107b9679c4 Document the range type, as suggested by Denis S. Otkidach 
<den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>.

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.

Guido van Rossum
8141cf5c76 Barry's patch to document the new setdefault() method. Slightly 
clarified the summary for default() in the table to indicate the side
effect.

at this point.
