Fred Drake 6be838a0c0 Rene Liebscher <R.Liebscher@gmx.de>: 
Added information on using non-Microsoft compilers on Windows.

[Minor edits for markup consistency. --FLD]
 2001-03-03 19:18:01 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 61af5605fa Discuss PEP 236. 
Update nested scope section.
 2001-03-03 03:25:04 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 81df7be2a2 Update estimate bug and patch counts 2001-03-02 21:19:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f4e717c31 Revise the scripts I use to update the documentation on the SourceForge 
site.  These now seem (slightly) more reliable, and easier to work with
since update-docs.sh no longer needs to be installed ahead of time on
my account at SF.
 2001-03-02 21:05:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 93c867139f Lots of organizational changes for consistency with the rest of the 
documentation.

Fix a few small markup nits.
 2001-03-02 20:39:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 80d4c07775 There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one. 
(There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed
post-beta.)
 2001-03-02 19:48:06 +00:00
Fred Drake ab357ecf7f Label classes and exceptions explicitly in the documentation (for their 
*desc environments).
 2001-03-02 18:57:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 0539bfaaa4 There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the comments 
on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case.

Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's
variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader
thought that was a leak.

Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.
 2001-03-02 18:15:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 043d5e5514 For copyfile(), be explicit that src and dst are file names; that was only 
implied.
 2001-03-02 16:46:42 +00:00
Fred Drake cfef0096f9 Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, and 
not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was
    specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an
    "About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the
    page footers use that as the target.
 2001-03-02 16:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 7606e4d00e Added entry for urllib2 documentation. 2001-03-01 19:54:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 8c011580ff Use larger chunks for the HTML version of the Distutils documentation. 2001-03-01 18:38:56 +00:00
Fred Drake a9a83e9ee3 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet; 
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.
 2001-03-01 18:37:52 +00:00
Fred Drake a09262e860 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet; 
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Thomas Heller 5f52f7230c Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with which 
this was posted to distutils-sig in.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
