Fred Drake 6c7fc77d22 Minor simplification. 2000-10-26 20:01:09 +00:00
Fred Drake ca92eeba6f Update the dependency information to allow the other Makefiles to handle
as much of this as possible.  Avoids propogating information about how
various outputs relate (or don't!).
2000-10-26 19:26:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 956698819f Noted that building the info version requires the HTML::Element package,
and provided instructions for getting it installed.
2000-10-26 19:01:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 585698aa59 All acknowledgements have been moved to the Doc/ACKS file.
Adjusted to reflect the rename of Setup.in to Setup.dist.

Added pointer to the "Distributing Python Modules" manual in the
appropriate place.
2000-10-26 17:19:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 8007849048 Update build instructions to reflect the rename from Setup.in to Setup.dist.
Clarify when this file is created automatically and do not advocate
creating it unless needed.

Explain that Setup never gets overwritten.
2000-10-26 17:13:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 036144d26d Test for and create Modules/Setup in the configure script if it does not
already exist.
2000-10-26 17:09:35 +00:00
Fred Drake cf3bc8c5a5 Rename Setup.in to Setup.dist, and assume that configure will create
Setup (instead of creating it from the Makefile).
2000-10-26 17:07:40 +00:00
Fred Drake eff9a87fcc Lots of small markup adjustments for consistency with the rest of the
documentation.
2000-10-26 16:41:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 35f8d46f94 Update a comment to be correct. 2000-10-26 14:57:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 9c6850510c Remove bogus stdout redirection and use of sys.__stdout__; use
augmented print statement instead.

Fred Drake 33e2c3ece3 Remove bogus stdout redirection and use of sys.__stdout__; use
augmented print statement instead.

Fred Drake bce920129c Typo: shorted --> shorter
This closes bug #117706.
2000-10-25 23:22:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c8fcdcba36 Patch 102114, Bug 11725. On OpenBSD (but apparently not on the other
BSDs) you need a leading underscore in the dlsym() lookup name.
2000-10-25 22:07:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum add8d86325 Fix two typos in __imul__. Closes Bug #117745. 2000-10-25 21:58:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e752baae71 Add IDLE wish: access items of arrays 2000-10-25 21:18:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dba66cb72 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method
was added in 2.0.
2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 8940fafabd Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documenting
getdefaultencoding() and setdefaultencoding().
2000-10-25 21:02:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 1491cace2a Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre Lemburg
<mal@lemburg.com>.

Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
2000-10-25 20:59:52 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7cff7fe21f Many changes.
Reformatting -- long lines, "[ ]" -> "[]", a few indentation nits.

Replace calls to Node function (which constructed ast nodes) with
calls to actual constructors imported from ast module.

Optimize com_node (most frequently used method) for the common case --
the appropriate method is found in _dispatch.

Fix com_augassign to use class object's rather than node names
(rendered invalid by recent changes to ast)

Remove expensive tests for sequence-ness in com_stmt and
com_append_stmt. These tests should never fail; if they do, something
is really broken and exception will be raised elsewhere.

Fix com_stmt and com_append_stmt to use isinstance rather than
testing's type slot of ast node (this slot disappeared with recent
changes to ast).
2000-10-25 18:10:32 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 628d289d12 Generated from rev 1.1 of ast.txt 2000-10-25 18:02:59 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 66d2c1f7e5 Small optimizations in dispatch method: 1) lookup node's __class__ once
and store in local; 2) define _preorder to be dispatch (rather than
method that called dispatch).
2000-10-25 18:02:02 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 821eee3321 Support for generation of ast.py from simple description of node
structure (ast.txt).  Usage is python astgen.py > ast.py.
2000-10-25 17:59:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 6caae14fbd Try to clarify when the Modules/Setup file should be edited. Added
information about the --with-pydebug option to configure.

This closes bug #117070.
2000-10-25 17:51:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1378bd5b0b Also point TK_LIBRARY to the appropriate directory.
Changed the landmark to tclIndex, which should occur in both.
2000-10-25 17:42:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 7497bd3e3d Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for
whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python.  (These tools are
also used for the How-To documents, etc.)


get_version_text():  New function.  Returns HTML fragment describing the
        software version and documentation date.

bot_navigation_panel():  Include the result of get_version_text() at the
        end, so the information is available on every page.
2000-10-25 16:18:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d04592a46b Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for
whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python.  (These tools are
also used for the How-To documents, etc.)
2000-10-25 16:15:13 +00:00
Fred Drake e4359952c0 Remove some HTML from the PYTHONDOCS fragment defined here. 2000-10-25 16:12:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 6a11960ed4 Minor addition; add a little formatting to the release information that
will be added to Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl shortly.
2000-10-25 16:10:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7ceab739d0 Make this actually work now that the tool is checked in here instead of
just sitting around in my working directory.
2000-10-24 19:59:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 661ea26b3d Ka-Ping Yee <ping@lfw.org>:
Changes to error messages to increase consistency & clarity.

This (mostly) closes SourceForge patch #101839.
2000-10-24 19:57:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bd6f4fba1b Insert the current directory to the front of sys.path -- and remove it
at the end.  This fixes a problem where

	python Lib/test/test_import.py

failed while "make test" succeeded.
2000-10-24 17:16:32 +00:00
Lars Gustäbel 0702507ea2 Added a test case for the saxutils.prepare_input_source setSystemId bug. 2000-10-24 16:00:22 +00:00
Lars Gustäbel 4ced5e7675 Fix bug in prepare_input_source (patched by Paul P., sourceforge.net down
now, so can't find number).
2000-10-24 15:53:12 +00:00
Lars Gustäbel cfd3bd838c Updated output. 2000-10-24 15:36:28 +00:00
Lars Gustäbel 2fc5294911 Added some more tests here and there. 2000-10-24 15:35:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 277a21150b Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module. 2000-10-24 02:35:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 669d36f02c Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>:
Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API.

FLD:  I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor
details to Paul's text, but that's it.  Given the substantial
structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be
making additional revisions over the next few days.
2000-10-24 02:34:45 +00:00
Fred Drake f61eac425a Remove second horizontal line below table headers; it is just too
distracting.
2000-10-24 02:18:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 9880062ee6 Remove some obsolete files, and update the README. 2000-10-23 20:50:23 +00:00
Fred Drake d038ca830f Make reindent.py happy (convert everything to 4-space indents!). 2000-10-23 18:31:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 16f6329e61 Make reindent.py happy (lots of trailing whitespace removed). 2000-10-23 18:09:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 098b55ab44 Make reindent happy, but not in the way it planned! 2000-10-23 17:30:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 004d5e6880 Make reindent.py happy (convert everything to 4-space indents!). 2000-10-23 17:22:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e6d25c5bb Use 4-space indents. 2000-10-23 17:00:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ec80faae5 Clean up the temporary file when done with it. 2000-10-23 16:59:35 +00:00
Fred Drake dce5641856 Make sure the temporary file is cleaned up even when we raise TestSkipped. 2000-10-23 16:38:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 44b6bd2179 Added note saying to use test_support.TESTFN for a temporary filename,
and be clear that you need to clean it up when done.
2000-10-23 16:37:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 8902442e2f Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()
and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using
PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n).

This closes bug #117377.

Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of
them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL.

"de-allocated" --> "deallocated"
2000-10-23 16:00:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 246f65f2bb Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()
function.

This closes bug #117467.
