Fred Drake 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.

Fred Drake f96e0d203b Various clarifications and minor nits fixed. Affected descriptions of

	of hardcoding "..." with \optional.

Fred Drake 1e862e8a37 Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter; 
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).

 1999-02-18 03:49:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 87e611e441 Replace the docs for reduce with an adaptation of its docstring, which 
was actually clearer!
 1999-01-06 23:10:51 +00:00
Fred Drake d83675f344 "singed" --> "signed" (3 places) 
Noticed by Andrew MacIntyre <andymac@bullseye.apana.org.au>.
 1998-12-07 17:13:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8c2da61811 Add explicit example on how to import a submodule of a package using 
__import__ and getattr().
 1998-12-04 15:32:17 +00:00

 1998-11-02 18:57:34 +00:00

Fred Drake 607f802886 round(): Mark the second (optional) parameter as optional, since it's 
described that way.

setattr():  Clarify that the attribute doesn't need to exist to be set.
 1998-08-24 20:30:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 295da24eaf New section header style. 
Fix up a few synopses.
 1998-08-10 19:42:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5fdd119aba Clarify the + and b mode characters for open() a bit. 1998-07-29 21:05:35 +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
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 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
Fred Drake 6b303b4bdd Signature for dir() omitted the optional argument. 1998-04-16 22:10:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 6251c169c6 Small nits. 
One more index entry.

Be more specific about an exception raised by range().
 1998-04-03 07:15:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a73d4db51 Removed reference to ni module. 1998-04-02 18:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain, 
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
 1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 53525379da Logical markup. 1998-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long 
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
 1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous 
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
 1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Fred Drake af8a015c93 Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}" 
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"

	      Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
	      Leaving it for now.
 1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to 
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().
 1998-01-11 21:15:23 +00:00

and slice.
 1997-10-05 18:53:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e47da0ae04 AMK's megapatch:

 1997-07-17 16:34:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 921f32ce4c Mention abs(complex) -> magnitude (AMK). 
Documented list().
