[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Doc/lib libinspect.tex,1.4,1.5

[Tim Peters]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv8019/python/Doc/lib

Modified Files:
	libinspect.tex 
Log Message:
Add a function to compute a class's method resolution order.  This is
easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and
different approaches are needed "depending".  The function will allow
later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.

+ \begin{funcdesc}{getmro}{cls}
+   Return a tuple of class cls's base classes, including cls, in
+   method resolution order.  No class appears more than once in this tuple.
+   Note that the method resolution order depends on cls's type.  Unless a
+   very peculiar user-defined metatype is in use, cls will be the first
+   element of the tuple.
