* Get rid of __context__, per the latest changes to PEP 343 and python-devGuido van Rossum2006-05-021-47/+0
| | | | | | | | discussion. There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__: Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew usually likes to change himself.

* [Bug #1477102] Add necessary import to exampleAndrew M. Kuchling2006-04-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | This may be a useful style question for the docs -- should examples show the necessary imports, or should it be assumed that the reader will figure it out? In the What's New, I'm not consistent but usually opt for omitting the imports.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | terminology in the alpha 1 documentation. - "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition - the term "context specifier" goes away entirely - contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1: - the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the "context expression" in the language reference - the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare 'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context objects that already exist in various application domains (such as decimal.Context) - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the use of that decorator - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable. A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit: contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular context manager directly.

* Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded byAndrew M. Kuchling2006-04-221-51/+1302
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the 2005 Summer of Code). The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message. The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility. The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing code. (The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
* Documentation for ctypes.Thomas Heller2006-04-212-0/+1227
| | | | | | | | | I think that 'generic operating system services' is the best category. Note that the Doc/lib/libctypes.latex file is generated from reST sources. You are welcome to make typo fixes, and I'll try to keep the reST sources in sync, but markup changes would be lost - they should be fixed in the tool that creates the latex file. The conversion script is external/ctypes/docs/manual/mkpydoc.py.
