Change the argument name for quote() and quote_plus() to safe (which
matches the implementation).

Add doc for the *new* function urlencode().
1998-07-22 21:34:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 897b9f0b0d Add new syntax for specifying filenames on break and clear commands. 1998-07-20 23:29:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00
Fred Drake a9f445cd8d Add libthreading.tex to LIBFILES. 1998-07-20 14:01:20 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py,
with LaTeX markup added, and some small rewrites to improve the prose.
1998-07-20 13:46:10 +00:00

Fred Drake f029548ac2 Added item about index item/subitem separation. 1998-07-08 21:42:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 5da5a68325 Fix suggested by Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it> to keep the
large letter at the top of each index section with at least the first entry
for that letter.
1998-07-08 21:37:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a4289a79f8 In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument,
change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:].  Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.
1998-07-07 20:18:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
1998-07-06 13:18:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 1717ba498f Normalize markup. 1998-07-02 19:36:50 +00:00

Reflects Guido's revision.

Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.
1998-07-01 14:10:52 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
1998-07-01 13:58:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf51dacfb8 Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods. 1998-06-30 16:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp".
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.
1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists.
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
1998-06-30 15:56:23 +00:00

article().

cmd, multifile and smtplib.
1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.
1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d4a54da32 Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it
to pypaper.sty.

Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
1998-06-22 17:50:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 44c413b05e Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font,
like any other header.
1998-06-22 17:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e7c82648f Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that the
.dvi files are properly dependent on it.
1998-06-22 17:14:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
the empty prompt.
1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by
locals().
1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 872948350f Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR. 1998-06-16 22:27:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 60f2f0cf8e Lots of changes to get this in sync with the Frame version.
Added raw strings, imaginary literals, assert and exec (!) keywords, a
table about Resererved classes of identifiers, and more.
1998-06-15 18:00:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0bd3795d6a Two small additions to make it identical to the obsolete Frame version. 1998-06-15 16:27:37 +00:00

including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__.
Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
1998-06-10 17:57:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer
(all with index entries!).  Also update the list of functions that
take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00

(new!) contains.
1998-05-22 18:48:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 6a50ba82ce Minor grammatical correction: "This module perform ..." --> "This module
performs ...".
1998-05-22 18:19:19 +00:00

Fred Drake 3bf7865a20 Added {definitions} environment, which has \term to define indivual terms.
Similar to {description}.
1998-05-20 17:42:17 +00:00
Fred Drake e194beb829 Don't use a separate node for footnotes; see if people scream. ;-) 1998-05-19 19:38:49 +00:00

Guido van Rossum c85be6a0ff Fix another oldie (item (b) only):
Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.
1998-05-16 02:11:10 +00:00
Fred Drake e593b6213a Small change to the l2h target allowing the output dir, $(HTMLDIR), to be
a sibling of the html/ directory in the distribution.
1998-05-15 17:50:32 +00:00
Fred Drake a4565b0796 Update to use latex2html 98.1p5. 1998-05-15 17:14:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 8dbf46a79e Update to use latex2html 98.1p5.
Cleanup temporary files produced by latex2html in the output directory.
1998-05-15 17:13:08 +00:00
Fred Drake e0a0fcd552 Update note about latex2html version required. 1998-05-15 17:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake cdbd391415 Add support for the Macintosh Library Modules document. 1998-05-15 17:02:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b73cdfe60 Revise comment about \let support a little to more accurately reflect the
support that's offered.
1998-05-15 16:59:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 13b1f43851 Ignore the mac/ directory.... 1998-05-15 16:56:44 +00:00
Fred Drake d637406df1 Update to use the output names used by latex2html for the Python Reference
Manual; the old FrameMaker names no longer apply.
1998-05-15 16:18:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a4ad0fc83 Extend handling for \let a bit, to also allow \let\something=<character>. We
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character.  Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.
1998-05-15 13:45:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d1b3384c3 Remove debugging echo. 1998-05-15 13:38:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e16f6798ae do_cmd_let(): Simple implementation to allow \let to be used to establish
synonyms for macros.  This supports:

	\let\newname = \oldname
	\let\newname\oldname

This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.
1998-05-15 04:28:37 +00:00
Fred Drake d07868ae52 Added support for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress. 1998-05-14 21:00:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 6df93ef9dd Added definitions for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress.
Ask Guido if you really want to know why.  ;-)
1998-05-14 20:56:31 +00:00
Fred Drake df825a10fc Fix the fix to allow the .tex document sources not live in ".". 1998-05-14 20:36:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 25d4e2873c Mostly spurious change to ensure that everyone's version of this picks up the
execute bit.... problem discovered by Guido.
1998-05-14 20:07:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f4fc476885 Don't run tools/toc2bkm.py unless we're building PDF.
Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path.  Guido
discovered we needed this.
1998-05-14 20:03:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5c07d9b028 Updated markup style (got rid of \verb@...@, mostly). 1998-05-14 19:37:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 203b4f1a25 Add an index entry.
Bow to font lock.
1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00

Clean up the clean & clobber targets.
1998-05-11 21:10:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 72dd58d90e Use .tgz instead of .tar.gz for the output file name. 1998-05-11 21:08:39 +00:00
Fred Drake d2af396dd5 Change ignored extension .tar.gz to .tgz. 1998-05-11 21:07:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 2f61cd4dcc Ignore intermediate files. 1998-05-11 21:06:18 +00:00
Fred Drake ba1700c7bb Set the right page size in the PDF output. 1998-05-11 20:42:54 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d473fd5c Add --letter option, similar to --a4. This is a no-op, but can be used from
a Makefile:  mkhowto.sh --$(PAPER).
1998-05-11 20:40:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 8981fdf16e Add the clean, clobber targets here for this directory. 1998-05-11 19:54:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 58ff112e7f Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 19:06:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 4190fae02a Added a section about documentation for the Mac modules. 1998-05-11 19:05:36 +00:00

Fred Drake efad443351 Remove the tarhtml target; not useful from the sub-make. 1998-05-11 18:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 29cabd4cd7 Pass the release number to the tools/mktarball.sh script.
Nits.
1998-05-11 18:53:07 +00:00
Fred Drake f2fa1e2afe Accept the release number on the command line instead of hardcoding it. 1998-05-11 18:52:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 323dc70de5 Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 18:41:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e7edb80e3 do_cmd_kwindex(): Re-implement now that \kwindex is used again (ref man). 1998-05-11 18:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake d69e2c4f33 Update some of the comments.
Update the .tar.gz targets so that they work from the top level.

Reinstate the api, ext, lib, ref, and tut targets.
1998-05-11 18:25:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 41814bc51f In package Override, use the getcwd() function from the Cwd module instead of
the one from Override.pm (part of latex2html).

Absolutize the TEXINPUTS environment variable, since we can't count on
latex2html doing it for us (even though I sent in a patch, and it really
should).
1998-05-11 18:23:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 099b76c3bd Changed some comments.... no longer mention FrameMaker. 1998-05-11 16:31:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b9838d97ad Fix a comment.
Avoid extra level of recursion in the paper-*/ directories.

Added the "info" target to use the subdir.  Partparse, however, is broken
again.
1998-05-08 15:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 9447e592d9 No longer needed. 1998-05-08 15:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a5d80564af Remove unneeded line. 1998-05-08 15:40:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ffa21c7aa Adjust to new file layout. 1998-05-08 15:37:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 445cfd339c l2h target: Do the "right thing" regarding the paper-*/ subdirs as the other
"big" targets.  Fix is to set the TEXINPUTS on the command line of the
	sub-make.
1998-05-08 04:02:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f4166a478a Some versions of latex2html don't automatically append the .tex extension to
the name of the main .tex source file if it's not in the current directory.
1998-05-08 04:00:56 +00:00
Fred Drake df68e3dd6d $(KPSEWHICH): Use the older style of calling kpsewhich with the arg
specifying *which* type of path to search.  This works for both
	teTeX 0.4 and 0.9.  This is what we call portability these days!  ;-)
1998-05-08 03:46:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a9129c7e8 /bin/sed works on both Solaris and RedHat Linux; /usr/bin/sed does not. 1998-05-08 03:42:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 566d20951d Oops! Must have deleted a word by accident before the last check-in of this
file; "make" (the 'all' target) became a no-op!

Now works as previously described.
1998-05-08 02:00:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 19c7c84db8 Be a little more robust handling filenames. 1998-05-07 21:20:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 8923c72c8f Ignore the webchecker turd. 1998-05-07 20:13:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a96cca7ec Added the webcheck target here. 1998-05-07 20:00:59 +00:00
Fred Drake f295113f1f Cleaned out some more cruft.
Added some new cruft.

For some of the "big" targets, force things to happen in the "right"
subdirectory, i.e., "make" will build the DVI and PostScript files in the
paper-letter/ directory, and "make PAPER=a4" will build DVI and PostScript
files in the paper-a4/ directory.

Probably still needs some restructuring.
1998-05-07 19:30:16 +00:00
Fred Drake a34f7e6a5d Some cleanup, added clean & clobber targets. 1998-05-07 19:27:40 +00:00
Fred Drake bf332696a1 Add support for a --pdf option to cause a PDF file to be created instead;

Fred Drake 9cdf08797e Support the new directory structure.
Some targets may be a little raw, but the basic formatting targets are all
tested, primarily for use from the subdirs.  There are probably a few
gotchas, and the paper-*/ directories could use "helper" Makefiles.

it.

1998-04-25 04:12:17 +00:00
Fred Drake b4929a794e Paper size / font size configuration file.
This is separated so I can build A4 and US Letter sizes without having to
edit files.

Anyone who downloads the source package can also simply edit this file,
which is a lot shorter than the manual.cls file, and easier to find the
appropriate line.
1998-04-25 04:11:27 +00:00

Barry Warsaw dc1c970b0f This script appears to no longer be in the toolchain for Python
documentation, so it has been moved to ../../Tools/scripts

1998-04-20 16:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has

Fred Drake bf88c3830e Fix the broken PDF links, really this time!
Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
1998-04-15 17:50:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a2c2a836d7 Fix the broken PDF links, really this time!

Fred Drake a88d681255 Change the form of the name given to each page of the PDF from "page.%d" to

recognized if their name is a prefix of another target in the file.
1998-04-15 14:53:28 +00:00
