Fred Drake 6675881aab There's a better way to deal with the "comment" environment; I found 
this in SF patch #732174.
 2003-07-02 14:44:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 629dd99802 Make the "install schema" tables follow the same table style we use 
elsewhere (lines between columns).
 2003-07-02 14:33:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 89de74ee94 The Macintosh Modules Reference now formats to GNU info without errors 
(which is not to say it's right), so re-enable it.

Documenting Python and Installing Python Modules still have problems
when converting to GNU info, so we'll continue to leave them out for
now.
 2003-07-02 14:25:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 3b09558710 Fill out the set of macros and environments supported somewhat. 
Some of this is still pretty iffy.
 2003-07-02 14:22:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ec0bdf899 The datetime C API really isn't usable outside the datetime module

function, not a PyObject *.
 2003-06-28 11:54:03 +00:00
Jim Fulton 4b59f9165d Changed the assignment of PyType_GenericNew to tp_new slot. Now do 
this in module initialization before calling PyType_Ready.  (Sorry
Tim.) This is necessary to compile on cygwin.  AFAIK, we support
cygwin. If so, then we need to write extentions this way.

Raymond Hettinger 6f3eaa67e5 SF patch #761519: Fixes for bugs 760703 and 757821 
SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).
 2003-06-27 21:43:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest 
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.
 2003-06-27 20:48:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 095f817330 Don't assume the name of the table of contents will be contents.html; 
that won't be right when mkhowto is called with --numeric (as it is
for the Python Tutorial).  Save the actual name we use when we build
the table of contents, then use that in the page head metadata.  The
node2label.pl script will munge this properly when --numeric isn't
given, so this works in both cases.
Closes SF bug #761830.
 2003-06-27 18:26:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 25b5358cf2 Add definitions of the test and testlist symbols in the grammar so

distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types. 
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c
