Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.

Guido van Rossum 9f2b524385 The permissions ('mode' flag) should default to 0666. 1998-07-03 14:16:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ba4036a40 The _fromlinepattern was a little too restrictive -- some sendmails
don't put the seconds in the time!

Guido van Rossum b3bf2cd64b # The variable total is never used somehow. I think I had plans for
# it but can't remember what.  Get rid of a comparison that breaks.

Guido van Rossum 6bbd1d0f0e According to Robin Dunn, at least one FTP server returns 200 instead
of 250 on a successful delete.

Fred Drake 91e5211bbf Added \deprecated to exit_thread() function.
Reflects Guido's revision.

Guido van Rossum d20781b518 On Windows, put the select file descriptor arrays on the heap.
This is because they are huge and the stack is limited on Windows.
Other platforms keep declaring it on the stack.

Guido van Rossum 030eb11823 Gotta have an __init__() method -- pdb.py calls it! 1998-07-01 22:53:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw bfa3f6b673 Several changes:
1. Convert to using re module

2. Added two new exception classes

    a. MissingSectionHeaderError which signals an early parsing
       exception when options appear in the file before any section
       header.  Previously a bogus TypeError was thrown deeper down.

    b. ParsingError which collates any non-fatal parsing errors.
       ConfigParser.read() will raise this after the entire file was
       parsed if any errors occurred during parsing (client could just
       catch the exception and continue, because the ConfigParser
       instance would still be initialized with the valid data).

   (small note: Error.__msg => Error._msg)

3. ConfigParser.__read() now uses re which has the following minor
   semantic change: underscore is now allowed in section header and
   option name.  Also, because of the old regexps, theoretically.
   Fixed continuation line bug reported by F. Lundh.

4. It seemed that the old ConfigParser automatically added the option
   `name' to every section, which contained the name of the section.
   This seemed bogus to me so I took it out.

Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.

Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp".
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.

Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists.
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...

Guido van Rossum cd90509d58 As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(),
article().

Guido van Rossum a25969620a Fix by Sjoerd Mullender to support symbolic links and make a backup of
.mirrorinfo.  Fix by me to call string.lstrip(filename) to cope with a
bug in strop.strip() in Python 1.4.  Additionally, I changed all print
statements that print filenames etc. to put them in backquotes so that
it will be more obvious when there's a funny character on one of them
(such as a space...).

Guido van Rossum 6c373f758f Document new default arg to groups() and new functions/methods
groupdict() and findall().

Guido van Rossum 8ea9f4d10a Fix a stupid little bug: len() of an unsized returns -1 and leaves an
exception waiting to happen next...
1998-06-29 22:26:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 16926bd75e Add PyImport_AppendInittab() an PyImport_ExtendInittab(). 1998-06-29 20:34:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8b3282be9f For completeness, add a dummy load_package() method to RHooks. It
should never be called, so this isn't really needed, but this
signifies that rexec now supports packages -- because ihooks does.
1998-06-29 20:32:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9f5c36fddb Support loading of packages. (I had this coded up for a while but
didn't want to commit until it had been tested.  I presume that it
works in Grail.)
1998-06-29 20:31:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum be0b62cab4 Added findall() to RegexObject -- return a list of all matches in a
string.  Added groupdict() to MatchObject -- return the named groups
as a dict.  Added default argument to groups() to specify what to
return for unmatching groups; groupdict() also has this.

Guido van Rossum c94f16f156 Oops! Of course, Tim is right -- when the item is not a hex number,
the '%' should be put back in.
