Fred Drake 3f8f1643c8 Remove some false comments.
Reorganize so the initialization sequences does not bite us in the foot.
(There is no good reason to discard classes that clients may want to
subclass.)

Andrew M. Kuchling b39fa8a75b Remove note about this being a draft document.
Note the actual date of 2.1's release
2001-07-19 00:29:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 5afb5e5c9c Look to the future: bump the version number.
Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and
non-paper-based formats; this avoids some extra packaging when a complete
distribution is being built with both paper sizes.
2001-07-18 21:17:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 413bfb766e 2.2a1 is out; look to the future. 2001-07-18 21:06:06 +00:00
Fred Drake cb417c0724 Ignore all .tar files in the top directory; we're about to generate
more of them.

Tim Peters 3dac559299 SF bug #442520: test_struct fails on SPARC.
The ob_sval member of a string object isn't necessarily aligned to better
than a native long, so the new "q" and "Q" struct codes can't get away w/
casting tricks on platforms where LONG_LONG requires stricter-than-long
alignment.  After I thought of a few elaborate workarounds, Guido bashed
me over the head with the obvious memcpy approach, herewith implemented.

Skip Montanaro cdab3bf7eb If the user's environment has set the BROWSER environment variable (as Gnome
seems to do), the user may not be aware of its contents.  Attempt to add any
to _browsers.

closes bug #429136
2001-07-18 20:03:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c29926587 Lots of small updates, some long overdue. 2001-07-18 20:01:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 01815526e0 Add a more substantial example startup file for the interactive shell;
sample startup script provided by Itamar Shtull-Trauring.

This closes SF patch #410890.

Add some logical markup where it was missing.
2001-07-18 19:21:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 70b014d3d3 Minor changes for stylistic cleanliness and consistency. 2001-07-18 18:39:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ca78b6b70 Change the command lines to use a similar "phrasing" to that used in the
other documentation makefiles.  This is probably not sufficient to run
the conversion on Windows, but goes at least part way.
2001-07-18 18:32:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 72182027a8 "Make small changes, but carry a big diff."
Minor local consistency adjustments.
A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description.
For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become
hyperlinks in the HTML version.
2001-07-18 17:52:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a2302b3b2 Add some symbolic names to support hyperlinked references. 2001-07-18 17:40:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 36002d7af1 Add "help" to the things one is encouraged to type for more
information.  (I found this idea in the ActivePython 2.1 diffs.)
2001-07-18 16:59:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d808fba00 Made a few minor style & markup changes to the new {get,set}dlopenflags()
descriptions; added availability notes.
2001-07-18 16:35:05 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis b926866cb7 Deactivate definition of ss_family and ss_len. Fixes bug #440486. 2001-07-18 16:24:30 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis f0473d511b Patch #412229: Add functions sys.getdlopenflags and sys.setdlopenflags.
Add dlopenflags to PyInterpreterState, and use it in dlopen calls.
2001-07-18 16:17:16 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 984158d25b Patch #432117: Record namespaces in the DOM tree using the DOM xmlns prefix. 2001-07-18 15:30:25 +00:00
Fred Drake b311ad5bcb Ignore the html-*.tar file that can now be generated as an intermediate. 2001-07-17 23:36:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 8f65aeffbd Revise the rules for building the distribution files for the HTML format.
These work again.
2001-07-17 23:35:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 0068e9c1eb Mirror Guido's latest changes to the license file. 2001-07-17 23:08:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 5e06b84092 Be more specific about some of the dependencies, to avoid re-building when
some of the mostly-general files get changed.
2001-07-17 23:07:03 +00:00
Fred Drake f269e59232 Define new markup for 5-column tables. 2001-07-17 23:05:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 1f4cc897f8 Remove a couple of lines from the test that proved not to be portable to
all platforms that offer tempnam().
2001-07-17 21:56:01 +00:00
Tim Peters 817ed5a750 Kill another merge zombie. 2001-07-17 21:10:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a3bb211c8 Kill another merge zombie. 2001-07-17 21:05:22 +00:00
Fred Drake c4fefb19cf Kill a merge zombie. 2001-07-17 21:04:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 38c2ef0a4c Start of a test suite for the "os" module -- this only tests the temporary
file management functions that have just been made available on more
platforms.
2001-07-17 20:52:51 +00:00
Jack Jansen 6f70d62855 Used an adapted MethodGenerator to generate methods too for functions that have the object as the second arg after a first CFAllocatorRef arg (which we pass as NULL always anyway). 2001-07-17 20:47:13 +00:00
Jack Jansen 3d3a91c188 Oops, left in a debug statement. It's gone now. 2001-07-17 20:44:50 +00:00
Fred Drake efaef13c81 Update the availability information for os.tempnam(), os.tmpfile(), and
os.tmpnam().
2001-07-17 20:39:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 78b71c2ad3 On Windows, tempnam() is spelled with a leading underscore. 2001-07-17 20:37:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 832181e5dc Define the constants needed to allow the os.tempnam(), os.tmpfile(), and
os.tmpnam() functions to be made available.

This is part of SF patch #435492.
2001-07-17 20:35:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b4dd76bb5 A new attempt at rationalizing the "history of the software" section,
with a table clarifying which releases are GPL-compatible.

Also unified the headings for the various licenses.
2001-07-17 20:14:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 68db730324 Adding what's done of the documentation for the new profiling &
tracing interface.  Incomplete, but better to check it in since I've
been including it in my updates.
2001-07-17 19:48:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 6e4f2c09df Use the "st" versions of the "ast" calls in the parser module -- there is
no reason to pretend the syntax trees we're dealing with are abstract.
2001-07-17 19:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c2683ddb29 The syntax trees handled by this module are not "abstract," so take the
"A" out of the internal abbreviations.  For published functions with
"ast" in their names, make alternate offerings using just "st".
2001-07-17 19:32:05 +00:00
Tim Peters 11a0d10845 Typo repair. 2001-07-17 18:48:00 +00:00
