Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

 1998-07-23 19:50:09 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e729ec31a Caught a few more spurious \setindexsubitem macros.... 1998-04-07 22:06:41 +00:00

Fred Drake d275de985a Remove obsolete lines like this: 
\setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)}

These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section.  The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and
\stmodindex.
 1998-04-04 05:56:51 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain, 
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
 1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 52405c899a Added an index entry. 1998-03-16 05:21:08 +00:00

 1998-03-11 05:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this 
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.
 1998-02-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous 
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
 1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different 
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

	      Leaving it for now.

Guido van Rossum 9c43c590bc More emphasis on os.environ's calling of putenv; and added hint about
