documentation was written by Jeff Epler (thanks!).

Fred Drake 42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)

Fred Drake 81473b12b7 The Python/C API deals in PyObject*, not PyDictObject*. 2001-01-08 05:53:53 +00:00
Fred Drake e1d4715a6f Update explanation of the set_location() method to indicate that in

Fred Drake b31d36cf01 Fix the bugfix for SF bug #127151 -- make sure we map "previous_page" to
"previous" and "next_page" to "next".  This way the proper icons are found.

Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.

Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.

Fred Drake 22e9a5eaec Markup nit: OK and ERR should be marked \constant in running text. 2001-01-04 05:14:45 +00:00

Fred Drake cc97f8c609 Fix up an awkward sentence, pointed out by Chris Ryland <cpr@emsoftware.com>. 2001-01-01 20:33:06 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the
'or continue' should be removed ;P

Closes SF patch #103045 and SF bug #127098.

Guido van Rossum e22e4b2b59 Oops. The value "0 or +1" for the category argument of PyErr_Warn()
doesn't work.  Make it 0.  (Although it really *should* be 0 or +1 --
the refcount is incremented when it is raised as an exception, but not
otherwise.)
2000-12-19 03:58:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9a18a7ed03 Document Pyerr_Warn().
Add an XXX comment at the beginning expressing disappointment over the
confusing way refcount behavior of arguments is documented.

Fred Drake 2b6d7bc151 Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point

documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!
