e9735ac215 Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.
(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should
not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows
it.)

af922187ae Job.build_html(): Be more robust in ensuring about.html exists; copying
the right HTML file to the name about.html is needed even if the
    --numeric option was not given -- some other name may have been
    assigned due to some non-determinism in the algorithm use to perform
    name allocation.  ;-(

a7c9ac6544 There is no IMAP class in the imaplib module; the class is IMAP4.
There is no imap module; refer to imaplib instead, since it exists.
Move the "See Also:" section in front of the sub-sections, for
consistency with other portions of the library reference.

This closes the library reference portion of SF bug #420216.

a8e0827614 Hmm... better add a version annotation for the Iterator Protocol section. 2001-05-07 17:47:07 +00:00

a8defaae04 Skeletal version; I'm checking this in now so I can keep a list of changes,
but don't plan on actually writing any text until, ooh, say, July or
   thereabouts.

6f15e5796e Added new parser markers 'et' and 'et#' which do not recode string
objects but instead assume that they use the requested encoding.

This is needed on Windows to enable opening files by passing in
Unicode file names.

8155e0e541 This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted a
patch for sharing single character Unicode objects.

Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode
resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch
implements:

* Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared
  (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch).

* The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization,
  providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most
  Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue
  of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()).

* Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY)

* The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing
  unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error.

* Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and
  the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to
  shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature
  changed due to this.

* Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode
  object contents of the returned object in case they called the API
  with NULL as content template.

Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there
may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.

0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

1aec3a16f3 Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

895aa9da4c Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead of
introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.

c2b29d0fee Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionadded
macro.

Refactored do_cmd_versionadded() and do_cmd_versionchanged() to do most
of the work in a helper function, with the do_cmd_*() wrappers just supplying
a portion of the replacement text.
