Fred Drake 31c4ed75fc Remove commented-out \itembreak. 1998-02-06 22:26:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.

Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f499e09f94 Add ref to errno module. 1998-02-06 15:18:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum afcd589027 Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even method
defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in
truth (any more?).
1998-02-05 19:59:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b7fc6f267 Add *.pdf files to the clobber target (same target as *.ps). 1998-02-04 20:33:13 +00:00
Fred Drake baf700f398 Tell CVS to ignore PDF files. 1998-02-04 20:27:39 +00:00
Fred Drake b6e5032d9c Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including example
use with function name provided as well.

Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example
based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.
1998-02-04 20:26:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 126d840d1a Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversion
requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation.  ;-)  Would probably need
to be different for Windows/Mac.
1998-02-04 19:54:40 +00:00
Fred Drake b19274704f \modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" or
"standard".  This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the
	standard library.
1998-02-04 14:43:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 8aad4c80b3 Added missing "{" for "\code <?stuff?>}". 1998-02-03 23:12:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ad37e9e77d Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.
Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.
1998-02-02 03:01:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c45c2f3dc1 Add S_ISBLK(). 1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00
Fred Drake c6c921a4de Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions not
calling the Python API.
1998-01-26 19:16:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 16f88454f1 Use \url{} to mark a URL. 1998-01-22 20:47:26 +00:00
Fred Drake ff3f0d0a5c Use \url{} to mark URLs, \email{} to mark an email address. 1998-01-22 20:45:31 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6567fb3f Use \url{} to mark URLs. 1998-01-22 20:44:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 301ad2ee63 Fixed indexing of {datadesc} environments.
Removed " (byte code instruction)" from the output of the {opcodedesc}
environment; this should only appear in the index (which it now does).

Removed some really old cruft related to otherwise removed debugging code.
(I *think* assignments to $* set & clear auto-flush of <STDOUT>, but don't
really remember.  Removing them seems to not change anything!)
1998-01-22 18:14:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f02628dce \seemodule{}: Use logical markup for the module name, to ensure it picks up
any changes introduced there.  Also ensure a little more space between
	the module name and the parenthesized comment.
1998-01-22 17:43:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 7c418ed89c Added descriptions for log() and log10().
Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals.  Same for the integer part
returned by modf().

Some markup consistency changes.
1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00
Fred Drake bceaf35a63 Add support for the new macros, including hyperlink generation for \url{}. 1998-01-22 16:13:44 +00:00
Fred Drake ed79783bb2 Converted to use new macros. This example demonstrate \method{} and, more
importantly, \url{}.
1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 55f4492859 Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new
constructs should be used.
1998-01-22 15:56:41 +00:00
Fred Drake dd28d57fd0 Revised new macros after discussion with Guido: Always use full names of
semantic concepts.

Added two new ones (not discussed with Guido:

\constant{}:  Markup for constants defined in Python modules.

\cfunction{}:  Markup for C functions; these should probably be distinguished
	by font, but are not at this time (since they're typically \code{} at
	this point).
1998-01-22 15:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f35495563 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 05:04:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 6eb9f10063 Removed entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 05:00:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 251fed3e56 $(LIBFILES): Added libcopyreg.tex. 1998-01-21 04:59:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d754437d4 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 04:58:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 1abf0df5b4 Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.
Guido, you should probably look at this.  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
1998-01-21 04:58:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d1cc9c2b92 Update comment about relative URL internet draft to reflect current RFC status;
index references the appropriate RFCs.

Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-21 04:55:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 61b0452626 Added a bunch of "concept" index entries.
Use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-20 05:52:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a46f84d293 Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in the
normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 73a973bf8d Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in the
tables:  \var{}

Add a couple of index entries to the File Objects section.
1998-01-20 05:20:39 +00:00
Fred Drake cbe50f4829 Removed bogus index entry for the type() built-in.
Marked title of the Python Reference Manual as \emph{}, like other Python
manual titles.
1998-01-20 05:12:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 311c19688d Proposed new macros: see comments. These are not yet used.
These are intended to support semantic markup.  There are a number
	of places in the documentation where the exact meaning of an
	indentifier marked \code{} in the running text is ambiguous (could
	be a module or a class, a function or a method, etc.).  These are
	intended to clarify the intent of the identifier for processing
	applications and more intelligent style processing.

Fred Drake cb42f7c295 Consistency: "{\tt ...}" ==> "\code{...}" 1998-01-20 04:55:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 9eb5e5097e Consistency: "{\it ...}" ==> "\emph{...}" 1998-01-20 04:54:23 +00:00
Fred Drake c520b695fe The soundex module is built-in, not standard.
"--" ==> "---"
1998-01-20 04:45:44 +00:00
Fred Drake ca12b9df7b Consistency: {\it ...} ==> \emph{...} 1998-01-20 04:43:29 +00:00
Fred Drake dd17d1ce62 ni is a standard module, not a built-in module. The only other reference to
it already got it right.
1998-01-20 04:40:41 +00:00
Fred Drake bac354cd80 Consistency: (Yes, I know this section is not formatted by default, and
isn't likely to be of much interest these days....)

{\tt ...} ==> \code{...}

Added \label{module-blat} for the two supporting modules.

Added index entries for referred-to modules.
1998-01-20 04:32:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 79a6a9e882 Removed a confusing note about coercions and __r*__ operators. 1998-01-19 23:16:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 46503922a0 Various updates to the effect that the group argument is always optional.
Also documented that groups() now always returns a tuple.
1998-01-19 23:14:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7d4ecb8785 Add note about dropping latex 2.09 compatibility. 1998-01-19 23:10:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 8095ebfc4a Consistency: Replaced 4 {\it ...} with \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 04:02:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 94e8f690dd Consistency: Replaced one {\tt ...} with \code{...}. 1998-01-19 02:55:11 +00:00
Fred Drake b6ce6427e8 Consistency: In two places, change {\it ...} to \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 02:51:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 53396f66c1 Consistency: In two \section{} headers, change {\tt ...} to \sectcode{...}. 1998-01-19 02:48:37 +00:00
