Fred Drake 12060e5ed3 Added descriptions for some modules that previously did not have any
information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.

Fred Drake 67f193faab Add a little bit more about the XML migration plan. This still needs a lot
of work, but mostly it needs time spent doing the work to make the
generated XML useful.

Fred Drake 03e88da81b Add conversion information for the grammar production support (preliminary). 2001-07-09 15:00:42 +00:00
Thomas Wouters e30ac57038 Fix for SF bug #436525, reported by Greg Kochanski:
The block/unblock thread macros are called 'Py_BLOCK_THREADS' and
'Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS', not 'Py_BEGIN_BLOCK_THREADS' and
'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.
2001-07-09 14:35:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 44835d8e7a Move & update a comment.
Add support for the \ulink macro.
2001-07-07 06:00:36 +00:00
Fred Drake de6dc1e11c Change the way notification mails are sent so people who respond to the
update announcements do not get bounces from trying to send mail to my
laptop, which has an identity crisis due to constant relocation.
2001-07-06 23:45:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e0c09da62 More reference count information. 2001-07-06 23:31:49 +00:00
Fred Drake cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.
2001-07-06 22:49:53 +00:00
Fred Drake b2d1006272 Update the description of how to start an interpreter and determine the
installation prefix and exec_prefix for Windows.
2001-07-06 22:46:52 +00:00
Fred Drake b4b64daa5e Add \ulink, grammar production markup. 2001-07-06 22:44:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 77602f2e32 Add support for \ulink and hyperlink grammars.
do_cmd_verbatiminput():  Write out a text file containing the content of the
    input file with a .txt extension, and add a link to it at the bottom of
    the presentation.  This easier retrieval of example source code for
    copy & paste use.

Fred Drake bde8d1c8af Revise a comment about styles I don't think LaTeX2HTML can generate,
but which came from their default stylesheet.

Add styles for the new hyperlinked grammar productions.
2001-07-06 22:37:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 432cef0d0b Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. This
includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked
grammar productions.

Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means
we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up
ourselves.
2001-07-06 22:34:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 238858fc51 Packaged versions of the HTML format need to include any .txt files that
were generated by the use of the productionlist environment or the
\verbatiminput macro.

Fred Drake 7e79b9e1cc More names, yay! 2001-07-06 22:27:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a650d77d5 Add entries for recently defined markup. 2001-07-06 21:13:51 +00:00
Fred Drake dde993c15d Simplification to mirror a better conversion specification and more
powerful latex2esis.py.
2001-07-06 21:03:30 +00:00
Fred Drake b5fc0ab099 Allow optional arguments to LaTeX macros to span lines. This is legal in
LaTeX and we have at least one occurance of that in the content, so this
script needs to support it as well.
2001-07-06 21:01:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
2001-07-06 20:30:11 +00:00
Fred Drake ab1df4fe88 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Add an index entry for the Telnet protocol.

Always refer to the protocol as Telnet instead of telnet.

Fred Drake 45c23e61d8 Explain the exit code for the wait() method, including a reference to
the os.W*() functions used to interpret the return value.

This fixes SF bug #429361.

Fred Drake bcd1df746d The fpectl module does not work on Windows, so remove Windows from the
\platform statement.

Also fix a minor style consistency nit in an example.
2001-07-05 21:17:08 +00:00
Fred Drake a939911345 Fix a markup error: do not omit a method's parameter list if it is
empty.
2001-07-05 21:14:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 25211f5724 Added more information on the differences between the htmllib and HTMLParser
modules.

Guido van Rossum 5fe2c139d5 List constraints on xrange() objects. 2001-07-05 15:27:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
2001-07-05 13:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 20006b2d51 Marked the parameters to Stats.print_*() as optional.
This closes SF bug #438032.

Fred Drake cb9be93955 Add another name. 2001-07-02 17:16:07 +00:00
Tim Peters 4efb6e9643 Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
committed.

tokenize.py:  I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.

tabnanny.py:  Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling.  I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).

inspect.py:  I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version.  The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.
2001-06-29 23:51:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 88e66254f9 Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in an
example.  It actually confused a reader.
2001-06-29 17:50:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c209047ba Correct a markup error for an accented character.
Reported by Milan Zamazal <pdm@zamazal.org>.
2001-06-29 16:25:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 58c95391fa Removed some stray periods, and fix up a number of visible markup
consistency errors (mostly omitted "()" at the end of function and
method names).

Reported by Milan Zamazal <pdm@zamazal.org>.

Fred Drake 9c3c5e406d Two more names. 2001-06-29 15:42:20 +00:00
Fred Drake f29ca18df3 SourceForge bug #437041:
Use a portable format in the example that creates a timestamp suitable for
use in email, also updating it and the footnote from RFC 822 to RFC 2822.
2001-06-29 15:39:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 9f9bd6af78 Simplify an example based on comment from Thomas Holenstein <thomas@hex.ch>:
Do not use an extra flag variable to test only once in one subsequent if
statement.

Fred Drake be9d10edbb Remove some bogus trailing whitespace. 2001-06-23 06:16:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 93852ef3c8 Fix minor markup nits. 2001-06-23 06:06:52 +00:00
Fred Drake deda9f3420 Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding the
chapter number.  This also makes the reference a hyperlink in the HTML
version.
2001-06-23 06:06:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 2829f1cf99 Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit. 2001-06-23 05:27:20 +00:00
