Nick Coghlan 87ba642ce6 Issue #13237: Make the subprocess convenience helper documentation self-contained aside from the shared parameter description. Downgrade the pipe warnings at that level to notes (since those pipes are hidden, people are unlikely to even try it) 2011-10-27 17:55:13 +10:00

Senthil Kumaran 41d663f0a5 Issue13073 - Address review comments and add versionchanged information in the docs. 2011-10-05 23:52:49 +08:00
Éric Araujo 2e4a2b6434 Fix markup used in the documentation of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix. 
- Using the file role with {placeholders} is IMO clearer than fake
Python code.

- The fact that sys.version[:3] gives '2.7' is a CPython detail and
should not be advertised (see #9442), even if some stdlib modules
currently rely on that detail.

Victor Stinner 63c22fac72 Issue #7732: Fix a crash on importing a module if a directory has the same name 
than a Python module (e.g. "__init__.py"): don't close the file twice.

PyFile_FromFile() does also close the file if PyString_FromString() failed. It
did already close the file on fill_file_fields() error (e.g. if the file is a
directory).

Éric Araujo e68d4504fd Add documentation for PEP 370 features in distutils (#10745). 
Apart from adding a section to describe the user scheme, this changeset
also does some much needed cleanup:

- fixed inverted reST targets
- fixed some paths
- avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times
- added missing entries for C headers locations
- added documentation for --install-lib
- fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not
  worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs)
- fixed some markup

The paths fixes were done with an eye on the source code in the install
command, so they really describe what’s actually done.  The situation on
Mac OS X is rather messy: the fix for #8084 touched site and sysconfig,
but distutils does not use these files anymore since the Great Revert.
I suspect we have a mismatched stdlib at the moment, and the fix is not
even clear (see discussion on #8084).
 2011-08-19 08:34:52 +02:00
Éric Araujo afd2fe2aea Improve documentation for PEP 370 support in site module (#8617). 
site.USER_BASE and site.USER_SITE are now fully documented.  PEP 370 is
outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in
sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find
the right values to document for Mac OS X.

The command-line interface of the site module is also described in the
module docs.

The purpose of the usercustomize module is explained in the site docs,
with a gentle introduction in the tutorial (right after the section that
talks about PYTHONSTARTUP; a comment mentions it should be moved from
the tutorial to another file, but that will be another bug).

Various markup and wording improvements were made along the way in the
site module docs.  Duplicate and incomplete declarations of environment
variables have also been removed (the original bug report was actually
about these entries :).  The site module docs are still a bit messy;
I’ll see about improving them for #11553.

All these sections are copiously interlinked and findable from the doc
indexes.

 2011-08-19 01:27:00 +02:00
Éric Araujo 52a5a03498 Add Python porting howto from 3.x. 
No change was necessary to make the file build, contrary to cporting.rst
that uses markup like :c:func: that needs to be changed to :cfunc: in
2.7.  Future backports should be straightforward.
 2011-08-19 01:22:42 +02:00
Éric Araujo f595a76d3d Backport source role for linking to files in the cpython repo. 
Georg added this role in our 3.2 doc tools and gave the greenlight for a
backport on python-dev.

This code is a simplified version of the 3.2 code; the version of Sphinx
used with Python 2.7 doesn’t have the function used to parse markup like
:role:`text to be displayed <text to be processed>` (I was persuaded it
was a standard reST construct, but it is actually a Sphinx innovation
that has to be supported explicitly in role code —I’ll be damned).  It
is thus not possible to write for example :source:`the NEWS file
<Misc/NEWS>`, but :source:`Misc/NEWS` will work.

Éric Araujo 560bf855d3 Fix regression with distutils MANIFEST handing (#11104, #8688). 
The changed behavior of sdist in 2.7 broke packaging for projects that
wanted to use a manually-maintained MANIFEST file (instead of having a
MANIFEST.in template and letting distutils generate the MANIFEST).

The fixes that were committed for #8688 (d29399100973 by Tarek and
f7639dcdffc3 by me) did not fix all issues exposed in the bug report,
and also added one problem: the MANIFEST file format gained comments,
but the read_manifest method was not updated to handle (i.e. ignore)
them.  This changeset should fix everything; the tests have been
expanded and I successfully tested with Mercurial, which suffered from
this regression.

I have grouped the versionchanged directives for these bugs in one place
and added micro version numbers to help users know the quirks of the
exact version they’re using.  I also removed a stanza in the docs that
was forgotten in Tarek’s first changeset.

Initial report, thorough diagnosis and patch by John Dennis, further
work on the patch by Stephen Thorne, and a few edits and additions by
me.

  up any instance of any arbitrary command-line option.  These were
  changed to ````.

Raymond Hettinger 88fc66179b Cleanup example 2011-06-01 16:01:21 -07:00
Raymond Hettinger 690d4ae8bf Multiple clean-ups to the docs for builtin functions. 
* Use concrete example for dir() and eliminate the distracting doctest directives.
* Add a pure python equivalent for enumerate()
* Modify the enumerate() example to demonstrate the start argument
* Remove incorrect reference the *iterable* in the enumerate() docs.
* Downgrade the comments on input() from a warning to a note.
* Fix the iter() example to use the empty string as the terminating
  condition for file.readline().  Also, the old example was broken
  because readline() results include a newline, so 'STOP\n' would have
  been the correct terminating condition.  Even with that fix, the
  STOP example was fragile and would have lead to infinite loops with
  malformed inputs.
* Do not refer to classmethod as being "more advanced" than staticmethod.
