Ka-Ping Yee 3bda87991a Show inherited methods, with hyperlinks to the base class they came from.
Font adjustment to improve viewing in Windows (the default monospaced font,
    Courier New, seems to have no reasonable size in IE!)
Improve error handling.  Try very hard to distinguish between failure to
    find a module and failure during the module importing process.
Improve reloading behaviour.  (Still needs some work.)
Add '.' to sys.path when running as a script at the command-line.
Don't automatically assume '-g' based on the platform.  We'll just have
    the batch file supply -g.

Ka-Ping Yee 37f7b38eb6 Fixes for various issues reported and discovered since Python 9:
Factor description of import errors into DocImportError.__str__.
Add "docother" and "fail" methods to Doc class.
Factor formatting of constants into "docother".
Increase max string repr limit to 100 characters.
Factor page generation into HTMLDoc.page.
Handle aliasing of names (objects appearing under an attribute
    name different from their intrinsic __name__) by passing the
    attribute name into each doc* method.
Handle methods at top level of modules (e.g. in random).
Try to do reloading efficiently.

Important fixes still to do:
    Module reloading is broken by the unfortunate property that
        failed imports leave an incomplete module in sys.  Still
        need to think of a good solution.
    Can't document modules in the current directory, due to the
        other unfortunate property that sys.path gets '.' when
        you run 'python' but it gets the script directory when
        you run a script.  Need to ponder to find a solution.
    The synopsis() routine does not work on .so modules.
    Aliases cause duplicate copies of documentation to appear.
        This is easy to fix, just more work.
    Classes appear as their intrinsic name, not their attribute name,
        in the class hierarchy.  This should be fixed.
    Inherited methods should be listed in class descriptions.

Ka-Ping Yee db8ed1517f Use '127.0.0.1' only on Mac; for other, sane platforms, use 'localhost'. 2001-03-02 05:58:17 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee c92cdf7aa7 The sys.platform identifier for Windows is just 'win32' (for all varieties). 2001-03-02 05:54:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b616e114f7 Believe it or not, but "more" on Windows requires "more <file" rather
than "more file".  Since tempfilepager() is only used on Windows, it
seems, do this unconditionally -- on Unix, it always invokes something
else.

Ka-Ping Yee 239432a545 Clean up the handling of getsourcefile/getabsfile.
Remove __main__ from the index of built-in modules.
Miscellaneous compatibility fixes.

Ka-Ping Yee a2fe103c9b Use imp.get_suffixes to determine a module name in modulename(file).
When possible, display strings containing backslashes using r'' notation.

Ka-Ping Yee d977e35dd0 Also accept .so as an extension for module files. 2001-03-01 19:31:25 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 66efbc7481 Docstring improvements.
Add checks for .pyo and .pyd.
Collapse docfunction, docmethod, docbuiltin into the one method docroutine.
Small formatting fixes.
Link the segments of a package path in the title.
Link to the source file only if it exists.
Allow modules (e.g. repr.py) to take precedence over built-ins (e.g. repr()).
Add interruptible synopsis scanner (so we can do searches in the background).
Make HTTP server quit.
Add small GUI for controlling the server and launching searches (like -k).
    (Tested on Win2k, Win98, and Linux.)

Ka-Ping Yee 1d384634bf Normalize case of paths in sys.path to avoid duplicates on Windows.
Handle <... at 001B6378> like <... at 0x120f80> (%p is platform-dependent).
Fix RCS version tag handling.
Move __main__ behaviour into a function, pydoc.cli().
