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.

Fred Drake 00c96aeba6 Adjust input pre-processing so that a comment on the last line does not 
break the processor; this will do the right thing.
 2001-11-19 05:27:40 +00:00
Fred Drake e70dbe0fc5 Update the platform notes for the CGIHTTPServer module; it works on more 
platforms now, and has since Python 2.0.

Fred Drake 63c4f907a9 Another name... 2001-11-19 04:35:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 7064d3b581 Fix the default value for feature_namespaces, per discussions on the XML-SIG 
mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.
 2001-11-19 04:34:50 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get 
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.
 2001-11-18 16:24:01 +00:00
Fred Drake ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers: 
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.
 2001-11-18 04:58:28 +00:00

Fixed a few minor markup errors.

Barry Warsaw 5e17d20743 Add a clarification that the email package always deals in native line 
endings, and that it is smtplib's job to convert those to RFC 2821
line endings when sending the message.
 2001-11-16 22:16:04 +00:00

Fred Drake 666ca80b63 Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format, 
which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable,
but not tonight).
 2001-11-16 06:02:55 +00:00

Fred, please proofread!
 2001-11-15 23:55:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f595fd975d A massive rewrite affecting both the pickle and cPickle module

security concerns, and on and on.

Fred please proofread!
 2001-11-15 23:39:07 +00:00

Jeremy Hylton 4a98f70a09 typo 2001-11-14 21:32:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller. 
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
 2001-11-13 23:11:19 +00:00

Add documentation for this and other PyObject_XXXBuffer() calls.
 2001-11-09 21:59:42 +00:00

 2001-11-03 19:57:21 +00:00
Tim Peters 7533587d43 Improved error msg when a symbolic group name is redefined. Added docs 
and NEWS.  Bugfix candidate?  That's a dilemma for Anthony <wink>:  /F
did fix a longstanding bug here, but the fix can cause code to raise an
exception that previously worked by accident.
 2001-11-03 19:35:43 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling bc4a1c2588 [Patch #476612] Change docs to describe PEP247 interface 2001-11-02 21:44:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 622087a3ed Fix stupid bug recently introduced for DVI version of the docs (used to 
generate PostScript).
 2001-11-02 20:53:19 +00:00
Fred Drake d9272d6f11 Add deprecation notice to statcache. 2001-11-02 20:20:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 67bd68392c Make sure there are no weird nesting behaviors; the PDF version will not 
format if there are (building the "bookmarks" for the reader breaks).
 2001-11-02 19:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 3808045d00 Correct misspelling of "separate" in two places.

Andrew M. Kuchling 433b5c4d34 Rewrites and additions resulting from today's feedback 2001-10-30 21:36:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 345b8df2c4 Always use --dvips-safe when generating HTML for the standard documentation 
since we do not have anything that causes dvips to be run except when
PostScript is specifically requested, which is a separate target.
 2001-10-30 16:28:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ce28e4bd0 Add a new option, --dvips-safe, which sets the $DVIPS_SAFE option in 
LaTeX2HTML.  This is not safe to do in general (for the reasons LaTeX2HTML
protects against dvips to begin with), but is safe if we do not actually
need to run dvips.  Note that we also assume it is safe if the user
specifically requests PostScript generation.  See the comments for further
explanation.
 2001-10-30 16:09:51 +00:00

visible in the table of contents.
 2001-10-30 06:23:14 +00:00
Fred Drake b4ea9d0502 Promote built-in functions to come before built-in types. 2001-10-30 06:22:02 +00:00
Tim Peters 003047a5f2 Mention the new file() builtin in the section on file objects. 2001-10-30 05:54:04 +00:00
Tim Peters a427a2b8d0 Rename "dictionary" (type and constructor) to "dict". 2001-10-29 22:25:45 +00:00
Fred Drake e59feb5edc Revise the PDF support in the LaTeX style sheet. This still isn't quite 
right, but the tests for whether we are generating PDF are a bit more
readable, and some unnecessary indirection has been removed.
 2001-10-29 21:02:28 +00:00

a bunch of them now.
 2001-10-29 17:42:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 520b0093db Make sure we generate versions of each file in the Python/C API manual with 
reference-count annotations; this is needed for the typeset forms of the
manuals.
 2001-10-29 17:40:40 +00:00

 2001-10-26 20:09:49 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling b83769cb82 Finish off the type/class section; I don't think there's much else 
to be covered in an overview article like this.
 2001-10-26 20:07:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 41cf5e0069 Remove unused variable. 2001-10-26 19:50:26 +00:00
Fred Drake ef428a292a Explain what [].insert() does when the target index is negative. 2001-10-26 18:57:14 +00:00
Fred Drake d5be3b75dd Add notes pointing out that these classes are kept for backward compatibility 
and suggeest that new code that does not require compatibility with older
Python versions subclass dictionary, list, or str.
 2001-10-26 18:37:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 7408da54e2 Many, many small fixes and improvements, most suggested by Detlef Lannert. 2001-10-26 17:40:22 +00:00
