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.

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.

2b6d7bc151 Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point 
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

Reported by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.

5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists, 
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary; 
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.

e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents 
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.

f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation 
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
 2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake
eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API 
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.
