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..."
          ^^^^
 1998-02-19 21:02:32 +00:00

 1998-02-19 18:29:18 +00:00
Fred Drake c92740708d Adjust grouping for the "b(reak)" command syntax description. This is 
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". 
Clarify that the sign of the timezone offset returned by
parsedate_tz() is the opposite of time.timezone.
 1998-02-18 21:47:29 +00:00

Logical markup.
 1998-02-18 15:05:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1931c0c961 Add normpath(). Clarify normcase(). (Note -- this doc section 
probably needs more work, describing new functions and the differences
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 22:24:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ecc705ba4 Added comment explaining the only warning produced by makeindex, since there

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.
 1998-02-16 21:37:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 75fc045bf5 Fixed formatting of the program name for crypt.

 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{}"
 1998-02-13 22:13:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a1efb63a9 Capitalize subsection title. 1998-02-13 22:10:21 +00:00
Fred Drake ab875b9a32 Make one paragraph wrap a little better. 1998-02-13 22:07:33 +00:00
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.

When refering the user to the language reference for information about
internal types, tell what internal types to expect information on.
 1998-02-13 20:59:25 +00:00
Fred Drake fb74a463ad Add "Pretty Good Privacy" as well as "PGP" to the index. 1998-02-13 14:52:17 +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

\nodename macro for a section with a very underscriptive title.
 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
Guido van Rossum 8b0927eddc Added missing entry for cmath. 1998-02-11 22:33:57 +00:00

Fred Drake 1624a507e6 Oops, missed a \POSIX{} in an index entry. 1998-02-09 22:12:28 +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

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 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 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.
 1998-01-22 15:56:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f35495563 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 05:04:52 +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
