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.

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
achieve a more sensible organization.

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.

Fred Drake 00c96aeba6 Adjust input pre-processing so that a comment on the last line does not
break the processor; this will do the right thing.
2001-11-19 05:27:40 +00:00

Fred Drake 7064d3b581 Fix the default value for feature_namespaces, per discussions on the XML-SIG
mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.
2001-11-19 04:34:50 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.
2001-11-18 16:24:01 +00:00
Fred Drake ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

line endings when sending the message.

Fred Drake 666ca80b63 Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format,
which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable,
but not tonight).

Fred, please proofread!
2001-11-15 23:55:12 +00:00
