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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
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???]
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).
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.
