Greg Ward c392caa390 Spewed a bunch more verbiage. 
Lots of scattered wording changes.
 2000-04-11 02:00:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 8520cc2328 Added reference count information for Py_FindMethod(). 2000-04-10 19:38:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 7357770153 Yet another markup nit: functions that are part of the Python/C API 
are still C functions, and should be marked.
 2000-04-10 18:50:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 37f41565a8 PyErr_Format(): 
Remove statement that the return value is always NULL; this is

        Minor markup nits in description.
 2000-04-10 18:35:49 +00:00

do_env_cfuncdesc():  Support the "null" value for the refcounts field
        in refcounts.dat.
 2000-04-10 18:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake db2764d941 The reference count field for PyErr_NoMemory() and 
PyErr_SetFromErrno() should be "null".
 2000-04-10 18:25:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 5e872de6c7 If the refcount field is "null", that's ok; the value will be None. 2000-04-10 18:24:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 729eca1b9d For functions which return a PyObject* but use "null" for the 
reference count field, state that the return value is always NULL.

(Useful for some PyErr_*() flavors.)
 2000-04-10 18:23:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a863da1f8 cfuncdesc environment: 
When processing the optional parameter, don't append any text;
