4b3ed5d8ba Fix typo in Python equivalent for bit_length. 2008-12-19 17:46:51 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger
ba666a59db Fix-up and clean-up docs for int.bit_length().
* Replace dramatic footnote with in-line comment about possible round-off errors in logarithms of large numbers.
* Add comments to the pure python code equivalent.
* replace floor() with int() in the mathematical equivalent so the type is correct (should be an int, not a float).
* add abs() to the mathematical equivalent so that it matches the previous line that it is supposed to be equivalent to.
* make one combined example with a negative input.

248e172ff8 Move __import__ to the bottom of the functions list.
It doesn't make sense for such a fundamental document to have
the most obscure function listed at the top.

213faca204 Issue #4384: Added logging integration with warnings module using captureWarnings(). This change includes a NullHandler which does nothing; it will be of use to library developers who want to avoid the "No handlers could be found for logger XXX" message which can appear if the library user doesn't configure logging. 2008-12-03 23:22:58 +00:00

322656596a Fixed issue #4233.
Changed semantic of _fileio.FileIO's close()  method on file objects with closefd=False.
The file descriptor is still kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file.
The FileIO  object also got a new readonly attribute closefd.
