1172a85175 Really minor consistency nit. 2000-09-09 03:31:17 +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).

1c4efad770 Move the "See also" section to a location more consistent with other 
module sections.  Properly mark the name of the module in the content
of the reference there.

621d2bee1c Move description of UserString.MutableString to a location more typical 
of the arrangement of other modules.

d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to 
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.

aef0e890b5 Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies which 
require authenication.  This is an implementation limitation rather than
required behavior, and may be fixed in the future.

This closes SourceForge bug #111725.

1c8feae411 New method getnamespace. 
Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation
used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them,
we provide this method.

d576e9df5f Markup revisions. Nothing was actually required to be able to format it, 
but many conventions were broken.

12bba852a9 Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which follows 
shortly. Markup also needs checking.

Guido van Rossum
3d0c77b37c Addresses the other half of Bug #112634 -- the documentation suggested 
that you can set self.version *after* calling the base class __init__.
In fact it must be done *before*.

(Fred, maybe the version class variable should be documented now?)
 2000-08-24 16:20:32 +00:00

45ca3331d9 Move references to RFCs to a "See also" section for consistency with

9fa4d61bcc Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>: 
Documentation updates for urlretrieve() and URLopener.retrieve(), to
reflect Randall Hopper's patch for those functions.

This closes SourceForge patch #100837.

297bf7ceb5 update commonprefix doc to make sure user is aware it works 
character-by-character and that that behavior may result in it returning
prefixes that are not valid paths

9087688581 Describe the new PRINT_ITEM_TO and PRINT_NEWLINE_TO opcodes. 2000-08-21 17:19:00 +00:00

120beb6b67 Strengthen the warning against using SerialCookie and SmartCookie. 
(If they're security holes, should they be documented at all?)
Minor rewrites.

1b07f2bcf6 Initial revision. Markup unchecked. 2000-08-19 14:11:41 +00:00
Fred Drake
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

304faf944c Fix a markup error that caused formatting to fail. 
Lots of minor markup adjustments as well.

Thomas Wouters
5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import 
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

b32aa5ecef Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to source 
code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and
is less likely to be available to end users.

25699f99f4 Martin v. Loewis <martin@loewis.home.cs.tu-berlin.de>:
