Tim Peters abba5c067d Explain that most floats are actually integers. This is a common confusion
for people using floor(), ceil() and modf().

Tim Peters 9a729a1cc5 Typo in new docs. 2004-07-26 04:58:50 +00:00
Tim Peters d6ef19309d SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliability
Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better
to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv()
docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).

Tim Peters 66bb6e661c SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians
Major rewrite of the math module docs.  Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

Thomas Heller fe0808382b Fix an uncorrect function prototype.
Will backport to release23-maint.

BTW: Shouldn't it read PY_LONG_LONG instead of 'long long' ?

Raymond Hettinger cab5b94592 SF bug #995983 and #995987: Documentation nits. 2004-07-22 19:33:53 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 7bd33c5e22 This change implements the following gettext features, as
discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

Every change was also documented.

Neal Norwitz 7728b4719e SF #994605, fcntl example is broken
The last call to fcntl (which wasn't changed) doesn't work for me, but
the first part works now.

Backport candidate.

Hye-Shik Chang 2bb146f2f4 Bring CJKCodecs 1.1 into trunk. This completely reorganizes source
and installed layouts to make maintenance simple and easy.  And it
also adds four new codecs; big5hkscs, euc-jis-2004, shift-jis-2004
and iso2022-jp-2004.

Tim Peters de8332171a SF bug 990749: os constants missing
A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed
are available on Windows but aren't.  The bug report listed the same 6.
Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly
correct "Availability:" claim.

Jim Fulton aa6389e13b Documented the new Py_VISIT macro to simplify implementation of
tp_traverse handlers. (Tim made me do it. ;)

Jim Fulton 8c5aeaa277 Implemented a new Py_CLEAR macro. This macro should be used when
decrementing the refcount of variables that might be accessed as a
result of calling Python
2004-07-14 19:07:35 +00:00
Jim Fulton 7a0e8bc283 Updated documentation to:
- point out the importance of reassigning data members before
  assigning thier values

- correct my missconception about return values from visitprocs. Sigh.

- mention the labor saving Py_VISIT and Py_CLEAR macros.

Guido van Rossum 8cec3ab0e4 - Bug #981530: Fix UnboundLocalError in shutil.rmtree(). This affects
the documented behavior: the function passed to the onerror()
  handler can now also be os.listdir.

[I could've sworn I checked this in, but apparently I didn't, or it
got lost???]

Fred Drake c0ed9c4956 clarify where \versionadded and \versionchanged should be placed when
they are used
2004-07-13 21:04:26 +00:00
Tim Peters e45d5a3b00 Claifications: visit procs are supplied by the core, users aren't
expected to write their own.  A NULL "object" must not be passed to
the visit callback.  A non-zero return from a visit proc isn't
necessarily an error return (and it doesn't matter to the tp_traverse
code *what* it might signify, their only job is to return it).

Brett Cannon 71868e74d6 Add another point in the "Restrictions" section about how the handling of FTP
URLs will seemingly succeed to read a URL that points to a file whose
permissions you do not have to read.

Backport candidate once everyone agrees with the wording.
