Fred Drake b38784e4a0 Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to comments
from Skip Montanaro.  There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but
that is low priority.

Fred Drake 14f5c5fa01 Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; this
can vary by platform and installation.
Based on suggestion to python-docs.

Fred Drake 1722e4a952 Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not
mutable!  We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805.

Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap().  Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index.  The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible.  This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.

Fred Drake 3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair
of references that now state that these attributes have been removed,
directing the reader to the dir() function.
This closes SF bug #456420.

2001-11-30 18:17:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ed35fd149 Add a new environment in the Python docs markup: seealso*. This is similar
to seealso, but does not add the "See also:" header or put the content in a
box in the HTML version.

Updated the description of \seeurl to better indicate when it should be used;
the old description was written before we had \seetitle.

Fred Drake 99181ac64e Add an index entry for the discussion of PyEval_CallObject().
This is related to SF bug #485165.
2001-11-29 05:02:34 +00:00
Fred Drake ea4d2c0241 A few small changes:
- Change PREFIX to PREFIXES, which contains a sequence of prefix strings.
  This is useful since we want to look for both Py and PY.
- Wrap a long line.
- Collect struct tags as well as typedef names.  Since we generally only
  use one of the other, that improves coverage.
- Make the script executable on Unix.

This could use a better approach to determine if a symbol is documented,
and could easily avoid keeping the massive string in memory.  That would
take time to actually write more code, though, so we'll bail on that
for now.

Fred Drake 5107b4cf5f Re-arrange the modules in the "Internet Data Handling" chapter to try to

Fred Drake 6a6bb1828b Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the file
is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342.

Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file
descriptors.

Fred Drake 48704ee478 Add synopsis for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module; used in the chapter-level
list of modules.
2001-11-28 07:32:53 +00:00
Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
