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 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.

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
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 f0473d511b Patch #412229: Add functions sys.getdlopenflags and sys.setdlopenflags.
Add dlopenflags to PyInterpreterState, and use it in dlopen calls.

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 efaef13c81 Update the availability information for os.tempnam(), os.tmpfile(), and
os.tmpnam().
2001-07-17 20:39:18 +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
Andrew M. Kuchling c32cc7c11d Delete sentence fragment (noted by Fred Bremmer) 2001-07-17 18:25:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 1385a57b85 Bump the release number.
Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611.

Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.
2001-07-17 16:53:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 16649a803b Make the syntax for compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is
being done mostly to keep the style consistent with additional patches
that will be applied to Doc/Makefile.
2001-07-17 16:48:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 3cae66bdbc Script to re-write @FOO@-style marks with values, initializing the
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).

This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.

This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611, but does
not use the suggested patch.
2001-07-17 16:46:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 63d1d264d1 Update the release information. 2001-07-17 16:28:50 +00:00

2001-07-17 14:50:31 +00:00
Fred Drake aebbca3b61 Job.__init__(): Only create the builddir directory if it will be used (by
building the HTML or text documentation).  There is no need to create
    it for other formats.

Job.build_html():  The builddir parameter is always passed in, so it need
    not be optional.

Barry Warsaw 95400a28e4 Updated the documentation in several respects:
- This module, despite its name, now should conform to RFC 2822, the
  update to RFC 822.

- This module doesn't just represent "email headers", but entire email
  messages.

- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
  quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().

Guido van Rossum bf5a774bcb On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
instead of raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The
other one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch
#440487.
