than in each document file.

Guido van Rossum 505d80b39d Jeff Kunce writes (and he is right): 
Also, I just ran across a [possible] minor glitch
in the library documentation for site.py. It says:

"For example, suppose sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix are set to `/usr/local'. The
Python 1.5 library is then installed in
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5'. Suppose this has a
subdirectory `/usr/local/python1.5/site-packages'
with three subsubdirectories, `foo', `bar' and
`spam'..."

I think it should be:
"...Suppose this has a subdirectory
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages' with..."

module addressing in HTML.
 1998-02-19 18:29:18 +00:00

required to get the info generation back in operation, yet again.
 1998-02-19 15:18:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 20e01966f5 Logical markup. 
Several uses of "\^" could be simplified; this fixes part of the info
generation process.
 1998-02-19 15:09:35 +00:00
Fred Drake ea8006a865 \nodename{} must immediately follow \chapter{} to be handled correctly; 
adding the \label{} broke that.
 1998-02-19 14:00:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 75bfb0f7bb {fulllineitems} is now an environment; use it as such. 1998-02-19 06:32:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 802a202d0d Logical markup. 
Changed {funcdesc} to {classdesc}.  This is a test case for {classdesc}.
 1998-02-19 06:26:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a73033fcc2 Feature added by Bill van Melle: when no timezone is present, assume 
local time -- that's better than failure.
 1998-02-19 00:28:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 026d9626df Consistent spelling: "time zone" -> "timezone".

between unix/mac/win.
 1998-02-18 14:00:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8cf94e608e Add mktime_tz(). Add () to a function reference in parsedate_tz(). 1998-02-18 05:09:14 +00:00

 1998-02-17 20:31:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 7154d382c3 Update indexsubitem for file attributes correctly. 1998-02-17 02:11:21 +00:00
Fred Drake a200faac55 \nodename{} must appear immediately after \section{} for the info conversion. 1998-02-17 02:10:41 +00:00
Fred Drake fac431e7d5 NNTP.xgtitle() description: Add a missing ")" from the response value 
description.

NNTP.xover() description:  Adjust some markup for consistency.
 1998-02-16 21:57:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 009ab92c12 Made the area for wildcards in the description wider, so we don't invade the 
left margin.

Fred Drake 75fc045bf5 Fixed formatting of the program name for crypt. 
Added another index entry.
 1998-02-16 21:36:57 +00:00
Fred Drake ad51192a4f In the example file name, use the current Python version, not a hardcoded 
value.

Use logical markup.
 1998-02-16 21:25:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 2705e801d9 For the lists which describe the regular expression syntax, increase the 
width available so we don't run into the left page margin.
 1998-02-16 21:21:13 +00:00
Fred Drake b0f77d65db Use \version to get the current Python version number, where possible. This 
can only be done in the running text, and not in {verbatim} environments.
 1998-02-16 20:58:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 7506298dfb Mark up filename extensions consistently. 
Logical markup.
 1998-02-16 20:40:37 +00:00
Fred Drake b666c15c4a Normalization of markup. 1998-02-13 22:22:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 6e99adb1c9 Don't capitalize identifiers at the beginning of the sentence; re-write to 
place them elsewhere so they get the right capitalization.
 1998-02-13 22:17:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 01dbb88831 Fix some markup so that the right characters are printed. 
"EOF" --> "\EOF{}"

Fred Drake a19bb9bbcf Capitalize first word in sentences, use periods at end. 1998-02-13 21:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this 
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.
 1998-02-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake fc931ecf92 In description of sound_similar(), break up the markup for long 
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps
it from being too ugly.
 1998-02-13 21:49:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long 
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
 1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 83bd081920 Minor stuff: 
Explain what happens when a negative shift count is used (what exception).

Mark the title "Python Reference Manual" as \emph{}, for consistency.

"info" --> "information"

Tell more about the data attributes of file objects, using the {datadesc}
environment.

internal types, tell what internal types to expect information on.
 1998-02-13 20:59:25 +00:00

Fred Drake c9c456ef69 In add_label_data() description, use "\samp{}" instead of "``\code{...}''" 
to indicate the interpreted letters from the format string.
 1998-02-13 14:48:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f6e2c45ec Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments 
in the running text.

For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.
 1998-02-13 14:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake b441eb84d3 Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments 
in the running text.

For computed method names (where there's a \var{} part to the name), use
the non-indexing form of \funcdesc{}.  This doesn't change the printed
output, but removes 3 rejections from the makeindex run and allows the
LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the index.
 1998-02-13 14:37:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a4646c660 Remove obsolete pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft. 1998-02-13 07:08:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous 
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
 1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00

 1998-02-11 22:55:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5370f4019 Turn the space in [\^ ...] into a hard space: [\^\ ...]. 1998-02-11 22:52:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1c974db134 Split UserDict and UserList on two separate lines; added entries for 
modules symbol and token.
 1998-02-11 22:36:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee833cca7b Don't break a long line at an unpleasant point. 1998-02-11 22:34:51 +00:00

Fred Drake 88223904c8 Add some index entries; switch to logical markup. 1998-02-09 20:52:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different 
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).
 1998-02-09 20:27:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 41785fb864 Do the right magic to make \ABC{} get sorted correctly in the index. 1998-02-09 20:16:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 19b97b13fa Do the right magic to make \UNIX{} get sorted correctly in the index. 1998-02-09 20:16:18 +00:00
Fred Drake c58912426e Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No other 
changes.
 1998-02-09 19:16:20 +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.
 1998-02-06 22:19:23 +00:00
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

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 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 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.

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

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

 1998-01-19 23:14:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 8095ebfc4a Consistency: Replaced 4 {\it ...} with \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 04:02:41 +00:00

Fred Drake b660b63edf Use \emph{} for all references to the other documents, not just some of them. 1998-01-16 16:34:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 5081b227f1 Ouch: "accounces" ==> "announces" 
(In description of AbstractWriter class.)
 1998-01-15 05:49:00 +00:00
Fred Drake af8a015c93 Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}" 
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"

	      Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
	      Leaving it for now.
 1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake b215137224 Added the standard \label{module-*} for the two supporting modules. 1998-01-14 05:47:15 +00:00

Always include the comma *inside* the \optional{} markup!
 1998-01-13 22:41:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d4f9e726a Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents. 1998-01-13 22:25:02 +00:00
