Fred Drake aa7524cf1f Clean up markup to be more like recommended practice; only small changes
needed.
2000-07-06 18:37:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 29fa30ea6b Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTML
version (actually a LaTeX2HTML bug), and clarified a sentence in the
mktime() description based entirely on comments from Grant Griffin
<grant.griffin@honeywell.com>.
2000-07-06 18:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake e1a85f5e4a Minor changes. Explain that for class exceptions, use excdesc but do not
document the constructor parameters.  Need a better way, but this will do
for now.

2000-07-06 05:24:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).

Fred Drake b5316188ee Created a new chapter on structured markup processing, including the
existing SGML, HTML, & XML support, and providing a home for the new
XML support as it becomes documented.
2000-07-05 02:24:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines.
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.

Fred Drake 52dc76c81f Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>:
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.

[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
2000-07-03 09:56:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 353aaadd9b Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>:

Andrew M. Kuchling 791b366f8f Added more changes from /F 2000-07-01 15:04:18 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling fed4f1e9c5 Changes from Moshe:
- distutils: Windows installers are already working

- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
  be docommented

- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp

- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
  win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
  Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
