* Add *,**,@ to index, as suggested byAndrew M. Kuchling2008-04-151-0/+7
| | | | | | | | http://farmdev.com/thoughts/24/what-does-the-def-star-variable-or-def-asterisk-parameter-syntax-do-in-python-/ The right entry type to use isn't clear; operator seems wrong, because *,**,@ aren't being used in expressions here. I put them as 'statement'; 'syntax' might be better.

* Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. ThisJeffrey Yasskin2008-01-051-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | round included: * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0). * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version upgrade. * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.
* Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (justJeffrey Yasskin2008-01-032-5/+6
| | | | | | | the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361, r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.
