Fred Drake c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form 
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.
 1998-02-06 22:19:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00

 1998-02-02 03:01:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c45c2f3dc1 Add S_ISBLK(). 1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd. 
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
 1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative 
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
 1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00

returned by modf().

Some markup consistency changes.
 1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00

importantly, \url{}.
 1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 55f4492859 Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new 
constructs should be used.
 1998-01-22 15:56:41 +00:00

Fred Drake 1abf0df5b4 Simple documentation of the copy_reg module. 
Guido, you should probably look at this.  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
 1998-01-21 04:58:10 +00:00

normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
 1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 73a973bf8d Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in the

it already got it right.
 1998-01-20 04:40:41 +00:00
Fred Drake bac354cd80 Consistency: (Yes, I know this section is not formatted by default, and 
isn't likely to be of much interest these days....)

 1998-01-12 15:38:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2c45a8197 Sigh. Apply a similar patch to the *other* occurrence of [^...]. 1998-01-12 05:49:05 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to 
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().
 1998-01-11 21:15:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 48022db400 "Unix" --> "\UNIX{}" 
Added index references to referred-to modules.

Fred Drake 0cf785a7a7 Grammatical nit. 1998-01-09 22:37:52 +00:00
Fred Drake cf7e830869 Add module reference for cPickle to index. 
Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.

Consistency:  Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.

Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP".  I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.
 1998-01-09 22:36:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 12d9da5827 Use \file{} instead of \code{} or ``\code{}'' to mark file & directory names

Fred Drake c4586387f6 In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML 
version as well as the dvi form.  Without the fix, it showed up as an extra
zero character.

Bug reported by Hugh Sasse <hgs@dmu.ac.uk>.
 1998-01-06 15:46:21 +00:00

Fred Drake 875c807c92 In description of the group() method, fix markup of "\(" and "\)" literals; 
"\code{\\(}" produces "(" in the .dvi file and "<BR> (" in the latex2html
output (the font was right).  Changed to "\code{{\e}(}" variation, which
fixes both.  Breaks the .texi file generation again.  Oh well.
 1998-01-02 02:50:13 +00:00

 1997-12-29 21:42:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 78f8e98232 Lots of minor nits that allow this file to get processed without failures by 
the info generation phases.  Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.

Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call.  It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
 1997-12-29 21:39:39 +00:00
Fred Drake a007c13094 Reduce warning count from partparse.py.

be a dictionary...).
 1997-12-29 19:59:38 +00:00

"\seetext{...}" instead of "\seetext ...".
 1997-12-29 16:37:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c9df6636 Changed some \verb\...\ markup to the more common \code{...}. \verb\...\ is 
rarely needed and should be avoided where possible since it doesn't behave
well with some processing tools (like partparse.py).
 1997-12-29 15:55:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f96291ee2 Convert a couple of three-column tables with an empty third column to 
two-column tables.  This improves the rendering of the HTML version on
(at least) some browsers.
 1997-12-23 04:21:20 +00:00

non-breaking space!
 1997-12-18 16:28:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b2c6ef83f4 Change {\em ...} to \emph{...}; this seems to be the developing preference 
throughout the manuals, and seems easier to read.

 1997-12-16 14:54:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 9d2f7d414d Oops, ".pythonrc.py" should *always* be marked with \file{}; one occurrance 
escaped with \var{}.

 1997-12-16 14:41:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 0514ce126a Descriptions for delitem(), __delitem__(): These delete a value, not set it.

 1997-12-16 14:29:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f496cc5b1 Fixed index module reference. 1997-12-16 04:08:24 +00:00

used for the defining entry for the module, not every index reference.
 1997-12-15 21:20:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c0cc6351e5 regex -> re 1997-12-15 17:53:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 095f35ad60 Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt HTMLParser} method) to just 
(HTMLParser method).

This makes it more consistent with other modules.  All three *mllib modules
need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:34:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 1247ceab94 Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt SGMLParser} method) to just 
(SGMLParser method).

This makes it more consistent with other modules.  All three *mllib modules
need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:33:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 0add4c120d Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt XMLParser} method) to just (XMLParser method).

need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:32:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 48d0437d1d AMK's latest version. 1997-12-11 20:19:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bd49ac4492 The 'l' flag (locale specific matching) has been renamed to 'L'. 1997-12-10 23:05:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 736fe5e918 Document binary format and __init__-free unpickling. Added a pointer 
to cPickle.
 1997-12-09 20:45:08 +00:00

Fred Drake a2e268aa40 Mark file names with \file{} instead of \code{}. 1997-12-09 03:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake c5aec05967 Separated the definitions of ntohs(), ntohl(), htons(), htonl(). Separate 
descriptions really make things look a bit better, and should improve the
ability to re-purpose the content.
 1997-12-08 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0b334104ac New version from AMK -- with minor corrections to make it legal latex. 1997-12-08 17:33:40 +00:00
Fred Drake f3d729c8f9 Fixed SFT #23842: leave in non-standard style options when checking in an 
update.  ;-(
 1997-12-08 15:48:35 +00:00
Fred Drake e907208b30 Some reorganization (all limit operations & constants together, and all usage 
functions and constants together).

Make explicit datadesc sections for each of the constants which might appear,
and have a description of each.  (Descriptions are based on the Linux
documentation and sources and the Solaris man pages.)

Hopefully Jeremy won't mind, because I didn't ask.  ;-)
 1997-12-06 07:25:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d3b4f8beb Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed. 
Remove spurious underscore following book title.  Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.

Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
 1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 98b032a7c0 Removed unnecessary escaping. 1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cf87496a6 Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job. 
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.

Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
 1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7381e28399 Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left 
shift.

Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
 1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c2297c1ce9 Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere. 
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.

Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.
 1997-12-04 04:45:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab76af3d65 Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro). 1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 456035f4b1 The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions 
to use the opcodedesc environment.

Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.

Fixed a typo:  "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent.  Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me.  It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project.  Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.
 1997-12-03 04:06:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 240ddc8a68 Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart. 1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00

wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing 
the documentation here.

Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally 
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
 1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied 
to get the actual prompt).
 1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation; 
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
 1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f259efe3d9 Get rid of math mode in some places. 1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module. 
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
 1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the 
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.
 1997-11-20 00:15:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 828a0bdb1d count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find 
to use the same, better words to explain start/end.

on the StandardError class.
 1997-10-07 14:41:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 6f2a26d42b And "ni" has been documented... 1997-10-06 21:53:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 2df75832b3 Oops; don't know if this was my typo or not: There was a "p" on a line that 
should have been blank.
 1997-10-06 21:52:31 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3cdb8f3286 Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which 
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module().  Added the new module type constants.  Declare that
SEARCH_ERROR and a whole bunch of module-type-specific functions are
obsolete.
 1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9cf4e2bde7 Change packages to site-packages (so it's clearly not a package itself). 1997-09-08 02:02:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 16221126d6 Added warning about ni's obsolescence. Retracted semantic changes

Guido van Rossum 593801142e Initial revision 1997-09-07 02:56:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f01dff7e93 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and 
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.
 1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00

Damn the criticism in c.l.p!

Added example of saferepr() result.
 1997-07-24 15:39:16 +00:00
