[Python-Dev] Python 2.4.2 documentation online

The Python 2.4.2 documentation is now online in the main documentation area (as opposed to just the /dev/ area) for both www.python.org and docs.python.org. The 2.4 and 2.4.1 documentation areas have been updated to link to the 2.4.2 documentation as the preferred documentation for all 2.4.x r

Re: [Python-Dev] Active Objects in Python

Oops. I forgot to add that to the list. Yes, in the working example of Active Objects that I've written in Java J2SE5, when you send a message to an active object, you get back a Future, which I suspect would be the same as your Deferred. Tuesday, September 27, 2005, 7:41:27 PM, Christopher Armstr

Re: [Python-Dev] Fixing pty.spawn()

The attached patch calls ioctl() to set master_fd win size. I use fcntl and struct modules, I have hardcoded values from termios since this module is deleted. Is it ok? -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri --- Computer Engineer 2001 - UNICAMP GPSL - Grupo Pro Software

[Python-Dev] Adding a conditional expression in Py3.0

New keyword is so expensive? And why special case for 'then' is better than special case for 'take'? ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options
