Petri Lehtinen 9713321f46 Document absoluteness of sys.executable 
Closes #13402.
 2012-02-02 20:59:50 +02:00
Brian Curtin 090ec3c7fc merge. again. 2012-02-01 15:24:10 -06:00
Brian Curtin 10dda6e029 Add a hint that CSD == Service Pack. 
People searcing for the way to get a "service pack" will never find that we
provide it here, and people that find this function won't know what CSD is
until they run the function. On top of this, they won't know what the value
means unless they really have a service pack installed.

CSD, or Customer Service Diagnostics, is apparently no longer used, and was
rarely used term at that. Most references to it online are from
universities making Windows 2000 and XP service packs available to students.

Éric Araujo 543edbdab8 Don’t quote characters twice. 
``code`` markup is enough to mark command-line fragments or to talk
about a character.  ``'c'`` is still used for actual Python string
objects.  I did a similar change in optparse.rst in r86521.

I’ve also ported two minor changes from the 3.3 version of the file
(removing an unnecessary module name in a class directive, adding a
comma).

name” that’s older than the other old name BadZipfile) in the 3.x docs
so I just removed it.

Éric Araujo 6ef038e78c Add documentation for PEP 370 features in distutils (#10745). 
This started out as an easy task, just add a section describing this
alternate scheme, but I found a lot of cleanup to do along the way:

- fixed inverted reST targets
- fixed entries for modules (hi abiflags!) or data files
- avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times
- added missing entries for C headers locations
- added documentation for --install-lib
- fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not
  worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs)
- fixed some markup

The paths fixes were done with an eye on the source code in the install
command, so they really describe what’s actually done.  The situation on
Mac OS X is rather messy: the fix for #8084 touched site and sysconfig,
but distutils doesn’t use these files.  I suspect we have a mismatched
stdlib at the moment, and the fix is not even clear (see the bug report
for further discussion).

Éric Araujo de4f05b741 Improve documentation for PEP 370 support in site module (#8617). 
site.USER_BASE and site.USER_SITE are now fully documented.  PEP 370 is
outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in
sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find
the right values to document for Mac OS X.

The command-line interface of the site module, partly documented in the
3.2 What’s New, is fully described in the module docs.

The purpose of the usercustomize module is explained in the site docs,
with a gentle introduction in the tutorial (right after the section that
talks about PYTHONSTARTUP; a comment mentions it should be moved from
the tutorial to another file, but that will be another bug).

Various markup and wording improvements were made along the way in the
site module docs.  Duplicate and incomplete declarations of environment
variables have also been removed (the original bug report was actually
about these entries :).  The site module docs are still a bit messy;
I’ll see about improving them for #11553.

All these sections are copiously interlinked and findable from the doc
indexes.
