Fred Drake 61c7728cc9 Make sure all chapters, sections, and subsections have a \label to give them 
semantic file names in the HTML.  No more node#.html files!
 1998-07-28 19:34:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 020f8c0139 Make sure chapters, sections, and subsections all have a \label to give them 
semantic file names in the HTML version; no more node#.html files.

Fix one section heading.

Fred Drake f7685d79e2 Fix up the synopsis table stuff so it gets things right at each chapter, 
instead of stringing it all together.

Yay!
 1998-07-25 03:31:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b3a3ed8f72 Update @INC so we can 'require' modules in Doc/perl/. 
Call the localmoduletable handling once the document is complete & synopses
have been collected.
 1998-07-24 22:17:34 +00:00
Fred Drake a0f4c94af6 Added module synopsis support with one (big) caveat: All the modules are 
listed in each chapter that has a \localmoduletable.  This will be fixed,
and everything else seems to be working fine.
 1998-07-24 22:16:04 +00:00

 1998-07-24 22:11:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aca61a43dd Removing all references to FrameMaker 1998-07-24 20:58:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6a2fe26861 checkpoint before I throw this away 1998-07-24 20:55:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 579c8453c3 Checking in uninteresting changes (mostly window resizes :-) 
before I remove all this cruft.
 1998-07-24 20:54:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2babd7b151 Document getsize(), getmtime(), getatime(). 1998-07-24 20:49:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 89a79d19b7 Document makedirs(), removedirs(), renames() -- ESR-inspired super-versions 
of mkdir(), rmdir() and rename() that make or remove intermediate
directories as well.
 1998-07-24 20:48:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 7313b03469 My first Perl object. ;-) 
SynopsisTable objects are used to store the table of module synopses for
a single chapter it the manual.
 1998-07-24 20:34:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 246837d0f5 Fix markup of an \indexiii --> only two parameters were given. 1998-07-24 20:28:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d540509682 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Hardly anything (but then 
this is the shortest chapter.)

Hurray, I'm done with this!
 1998-07-24 18:56:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5399d68c4b Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Not too much. 1998-07-24 18:51:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 56c2013d15 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some 
previously undocumented features.

Packages and the import mechanism in general are still left
undocumented.
 1998-07-24 18:25:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 34116ba933 Remove all-<format> targets in favor of just <format>. 
Fix some comments.

For lib.pdf, run tools/toc2bkm.py to get "bookmarks" in acroread.
 1998-07-24 15:42:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7c0240f112 e.g. -> e.g., 1998-07-24 15:36:43 +00:00
Fred Drake c2aa9fbad9 Remove use of the avant package; Helvetica isn't as pretty, but works for 
acroread.  The problem this solves is likely dependent on font availability,
so keeping things simple is a good solution.
 1998-07-24 15:19:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b193c95165 Document Ellipsis (not much of a documentation snippet, but at least 
it's mentioned.
 1998-07-24 15:02:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1eb200d360 Added 3 missing types: ComplexType, SliceType, EllipsisType. 1998-07-24 15:01:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 78a6ddbdd1 Move files around in a different way, so CVS picks up all the changes. ;-) 1998-07-24 14:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f8a59f146 Reflect file renamings for the Python Library Reference. 
Fix style dependencies for HOWTO documents.
 1998-07-24 13:58:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for 
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!
 1998-07-24 13:56:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 889f53d4e0 Reduce the number of levels in the Table of Contents by one, mostly for the 
Python Library Reference.  The other manuals do not suffer.

This does not affect HOWTO documents.
 1998-07-24 13:54:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 13529c41e4 Remove item about one section === one module; done. 
Add item about howto docs that use \localmoduletable problem for howto
documents.
 1998-07-24 13:02:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a0ad6089b Changes copied from the FrameMaker version, and some new stuff 
(complex numbers, power operator).
 1998-07-23 21:57:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 5420f3321d \textunderscore: Re-define with a width that's more appropriate for the 
courier font used in Python code.  This still isn't *good*, but
	makes the width about right in most cases.  (Exception: it's now
	a little wide in \var words.)
 1998-07-23 21:41:02 +00:00
Fred Drake cf0fb8bfee Document the 'p' format character. 
Clean up some of the markup.
 1998-07-23 21:18:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c457ca7ede Fix up Barry's markup, which didn't pass the latex test. ;-) 1998-07-23 20:31:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to 
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
 1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now 
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.
 1998-07-23 19:50:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 27467e4b7e Logical markup. 1998-07-23 19:47:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b18a93b4c8 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version (hardly anything original). 1998-07-23 19:36:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table 
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
 1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 8cab549c0a use_latex(): Hack to pass .syn files though uniq, so that the last module 
in a HOWTO document isn't listed in the synopsis table twice.  This
	will do until the real bug is found (low priority!).
 1998-07-23 19:13:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 465a42a58e Added targets dvi, pdf, and ps, to make all of the documents in those formats. 1998-07-23 18:10:51 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake fe7f3bc2aa Adjusted to use the new \declaremodule \modulesynopsis \localmoduletable 
macros.
 1998-07-23 17:55:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfb658c386 'name space' -> 'namespace' 1998-07-23 17:54:36 +00:00
Fred Drake a488f30627 Lots of new stuff for "module synopsis support." Public interface consists 
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:

  \declaremodule:  Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
	extension), and the module name.  An optional parameter should be
	given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
	referencing the section.  The "key" should only be given if the
	module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
	underscore's stripped.  This should be the first thing after the
	\section used to introduce the module.

  \modulesynopsis:  Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
	description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
	introduction.  This should probably be placed just after the
	\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.

  \localmoduletable:  No parameters.  If a .syn file exists for the current
	chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
	is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.

Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.

Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.
 1998-07-23 17:50:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 2fcadb2ffb \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the .syn file. 1998-07-23 17:36:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cc6d53f65 \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the "current" .syn file. 
\chapter:  Extended, ensures that a pending module synopsis is written out
	and then closes the .syn file for the preceeding chapter.
 1998-07-23 17:36:14 +00:00
Fred Drake c31cc38106 Ignore the new ".syn" files used to handle module synopses. 1998-07-23 17:33:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 83b2f8ad3d Lots of changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented 
some previously undocumented features.
 1998-07-23 17:12:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum be260101cb # Oops, correct Latex errors. 1998-07-22 21:51:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0af2f63056 Document how to make a POST request with urlopen().

 1998-07-22 21:34:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 897b9f0b0d Add new syntax for specifying filenames on break and clear commands. 1998-07-20 23:29:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that 
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
 1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00
Fred Drake a9f445cd8d Add libthreading.tex to LIBFILES. 1998-07-20 14:01:20 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py, 
with LaTeX markup added, and some small rewrites to improve the prose.
 1998-07-20 13:46:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfba2fbfd0 Eric Raymond documents two already-existing functions (bmp, png). 1998-07-17 19:01:29 +00:00
Fred Drake f029548ac2 Added item about index item/subitem separation. 1998-07-08 21:42:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 5da5a68325 Fix suggested by Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it> to keep the 
large letter at the top of each index section with at least the first entry
for that letter.
 1998-07-08 21:37:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a4289a79f8 In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument, 
change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:].  Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.
 1998-07-07 20:18:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
 1998-07-06 13:18:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 1717ba498f Normalize markup. 1998-07-02 19:36:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 579d366458 Normalize the markup. 1998-07-02 19:35:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f6034dcce Added index entry. 1998-07-02 19:33:43 +00:00

Reflects Guido's revision.
 1998-07-02 19:33:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e54abe92e Fix the \kbd definition so it didn't leave the courier face on. 1998-07-01 14:49:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands 
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.
 1998-07-01 14:10:52 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system. 
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
 1998-07-01 13:58:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf51dacfb8 Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods. 1998-06-30 16:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp". 
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.
 1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit... 
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
 1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists. 
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
 1998-06-30 15:56:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9c59ce9b5a Documented os.linesep (line separator). 1998-06-30 15:54:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd90509d58 As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(), 
article().
 1998-06-30 14:53:41 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 52a79e8e1c Changed URL to crypto page. 1998-06-30 13:42:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6c373f758f Document new default arg to groups() and new functions/methods 
groupdict() and findall().
 1998-06-29 22:48:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 002f7aae08 Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files. 1998-06-28 19:16:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f9cfb173cd Now cmd is documented too. 1998-06-28 18:01:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a40d643cdc Documented smtplib, multifile 1998-06-28 17:58:06 +00:00

Guido van Rossum f78a52c1ae Added cmd, smtplib, multifile 1998-06-28 17:57:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8668e8e49c Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modules 
cmd, multifile and smtplib.
 1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also 
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
 1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional; 
it's already decribed that way in the description.
 1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d4a54da32 Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it 
to pypaper.sty.

Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
 1998-06-22 17:50:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 44c413b05e Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font, 
like any other header.
 1998-06-22 17:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e7c82648f Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that the 
.dvi files are properly dependent on it.
 1998-06-22 17:14:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between 
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
 1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it 
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
 1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
 1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have 
the empty prompt.
 1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by

Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file 
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.
 1998-05-16 02:11:10 +00:00
Fred Drake e593b6213a Small change to the l2h target allowing the output dir, $(HTMLDIR), to be

Cleanup temporary files produced by latex2html in the output directory.

support that's offered.
 1998-05-15 16:59:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 13b1f43851 Ignore the mac/ directory.... 1998-05-15 16:56:44 +00:00
Fred Drake d637406df1 Update to use the output names used by latex2html for the Python Reference 
Manual; the old FrameMaker names no longer apply.
 1998-05-15 16:18:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a4ad0fc83 Extend handling for \let a bit, to also allow \let\something=<character>. We 
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character.  Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.
 1998-05-15 13:45:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d1b3384c3 Remove debugging echo. 1998-05-15 13:38:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e16f6798ae do_cmd_let(): Simple implementation to allow \let to be used to establish 
synonyms for macros.  This supports:

	\let\newname = \oldname
	\let\newname\oldname

This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.
 1998-05-15 04:28:37 +00:00

Fred Drake 25d4e2873c Mostly spurious change to ensure that everyone's version of this picks up the 
execute bit.... problem discovered by Guido.
 1998-05-14 20:07:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f4fc476885 Don't run tools/toc2bkm.py unless we're building PDF. 
Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path.  Guido
discovered we needed this.
 1998-05-14 20:03:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5c07d9b028 Updated markup style (got rid of \verb@...@, mostly). 1998-05-14 19:37:06 +00:00

Bow to font lock.

Clean up the clean & clobber targets.
 1998-05-11 21:10:15 +00:00

Fred Drake 2f61cd4dcc Ignore intermediate files. 1998-05-11 21:06:18 +00:00
Fred Drake ba1700c7bb Set the right page size in the PDF output. 1998-05-11 20:42:54 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d473fd5c Add --letter option, similar to --a4. This is a no-op, but can be used from 
a Makefile:  mkhowto.sh --$(PAPER).
 1998-05-11 20:40:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 8981fdf16e Add the clean, clobber targets here for this directory. 1998-05-11 19:54:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions, 
and allows the info to work through this section.
 1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00

Fred Drake 29cabd4cd7 Pass the release number to the tools/mktarball.sh script. 
Nits.
 1998-05-11 18:53:07 +00:00

Fred Drake d69e2c4f33 Update some of the comments. 
Update the .tar.gz targets so that they work from the top level.

Reinstate the api, ext, lib, ref, and tut targets.
 1998-05-11 18:25:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 41814bc51f In package Override, use the getcwd() function from the Cwd module instead of 
the one from Override.pm (part of latex2html).

Absolutize the TEXINPUTS environment variable, since we can't count on
latex2html doing it for us (even though I sent in a patch, and it really
should).
 1998-05-11 18:23:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 099b76c3bd Changed some comments.... no longer mention FrameMaker. 1998-05-11 16:31:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b9838d97ad Fix a comment. 
Avoid extra level of recursion in the paper-*/ directories.

Added the "info" target to use the subdir.  Partparse, however, is broken
again.
 1998-05-08 15:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 9447e592d9 No longer needed. 1998-05-08 15:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a5d80564af Remove unneeded line. 1998-05-08 15:40:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ffa21c7aa Adjust to new file layout. 1998-05-08 15:37:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 445cfd339c l2h target: Do the "right thing" regarding the paper-*/ subdirs as the other 
"big" targets.  Fix is to set the TEXINPUTS on the command line of the
	sub-make.
 1998-05-08 04:02:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f4166a478a Some versions of latex2html don't automatically append the .tex extension to 
the name of the main .tex source file if it's not in the current directory.
 1998-05-08 04:00:56 +00:00
Fred Drake df68e3dd6d $(KPSEWHICH): Use the older style of calling kpsewhich with the arg 
specifying *which* type of path to search.  This works for both
	teTeX 0.4 and 0.9.  This is what we call portability these days!  ;-)
 1998-05-08 03:46:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a9129c7e8 /bin/sed works on both Solaris and RedHat Linux; /usr/bin/sed does not. 1998-05-08 03:42:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 566d20951d Oops! Must have deleted a word by accident before the last check-in of this 
file; "make" (the 'all' target) became a no-op!

Now works as previously described.
 1998-05-08 02:00:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 19c7c84db8 Be a little more robust handling filenames. 1998-05-07 21:20:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 8923c72c8f Ignore the webchecker turd. 1998-05-07 20:13:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a96cca7ec Added the webcheck target here. 1998-05-07 20:00:59 +00:00
Fred Drake f295113f1f Cleaned out some more cruft. 
Added some new cruft.

For some of the "big" targets, force things to happen in the "right"
subdirectory, i.e., "make" will build the DVI and PostScript files in the
paper-letter/ directory, and "make PAPER=a4" will build DVI and PostScript
files in the paper-a4/ directory.

Probably still needs some restructuring.
 1998-05-07 19:30:16 +00:00
Fred Drake a34f7e6a5d Some cleanup, added clean & clobber targets. 1998-05-07 19:27:40 +00:00

most of the processing is the same and has to be done anyway.
 1998-05-07 17:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f8e4415578 Markup consistency. 
Using \input instead of \include to avoid extra .aux files from being
generated.

Fred Drake 9cdf08797e Support the new directory structure. 
Some targets may be a little raw, but the basic formatting targets are all
tested, primarily for use from the subdirs.  There are probably a few
gotchas, and the paper-*/ directories could use "helper" Makefiles.

for the manual documents.
 1998-04-25 04:12:17 +00:00
Fred Drake b4929a794e Paper size / font size configuration file. 
This is separated so I can build A4 and US Letter sizes without having to
edit files.

Anyone who downloads the source package can also simply edit this file,
which is a lot shorter than the manual.cls file, and easier to find the
appropriate line.
 1998-04-25 04:11:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 8805354bbc Simplify how some options get propogated. 1998-04-24 21:57:12 +00:00

Guido van Rossum a937d14898 Fred's right -- we need PyList_SET_ITEM(). 1998-04-24 18:22:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dc1c970b0f This script appears to no longer be in the toolchain for Python 
documentation, so it has been moved to ../../Tools/scripts

Fred, please verify.
 1998-04-23 22:57:16 +00:00

Fred Drake f8830d1de5 Convert recent additions to use new, "logical" markup.

 1998-04-23 14:06:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4447513e94 Filled in some more blanks, with the help of Drew Csillag. 1998-04-21 15:30:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 255284b42a Fix problem for the Library Reference where high-numbered sections of 
high-numbered chapters took too much space for the section number in the
table of contents.  This makes the section number and title not overlap.
 1998-04-20 16:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has 
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar.  (Why?)
 1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a933f6a53d Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*

 1998-04-20 14:43:44 +00:00

page from the table of contents.
 1998-04-17 20:07:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7984256f4d build_ps(): Fix flags to dvips.

 1998-04-17 20:06:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ccf330e4c next_optional_argument(): Don't include the square brackets in the return 
value.

ArabictoRoman():  Acquired function from Robert Donohue
	<donahue@cfassp48.harvard.edu>; might be useful someday, and I don't
	want to figure it out again!
 1998-04-17 20:04:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f6d6e487c Fix things. Blame Andy Eskilsson <andy.eskilsson@telelogic.se>. 
But I'm not giving this or the info files out until Andy (or anyone else)
agrees to take over the maintenance of this script!  Hah!
 1998-04-17 15:28:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f5155817b Mark TMPDIR correctly. 1998-04-17 14:51:04 +00:00

break HOWTO documents.
 1998-04-17 02:45:41 +00:00

Fred Drake 08932054e9 New helper functions to help deal with parameter parsing. 
Use the helpers in do_cmd_*() and do_env_*(); *much* cleaner!

Fred Drake bf88c3830e Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a2c2a836d7 Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
"." cannot be part of the target names either.

any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:01 +00:00
Fred Drake a88d681255 Change the form of the name given to each page of the PDF from "page.%d" to 
"page.%dx"; this works around an acroread bug that causes targets not to be
recognized if their name is a prefix of another target in the file.
 1998-04-15 14:53:28 +00:00

Fred Drake 12d9fc94f4 Use shorter labels; using long labels creates problems on the Macintosh. 
(Thanks, Just!)
 1998-04-14 17:19:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 95638f5b0f Added entry for Tkdnd.py. 1998-04-14 04:55:43 +00:00
