Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation;
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.

1997-10-20 22:40:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 871cf161f1 Documented exc_info(); also updated exc_type and last_type docs. 1997-10-20 22:38:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 2950b2d881 Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the math

which appears to be out of fashion in this file.
1997-10-07 14:38:54 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3cdb8f3286 Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module().  Added the new module type constants.  Declare that

obsolete.
1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9cf4e2bde7 Change packages to site-packages (so it's clearly not a package itself). 1997-09-08 02:02:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 16221126d6 Added warning about ni's obsolescence. Retracted semantic changes
(i.e. when using ni, the old __init__.py semantics prevail!)
1997-09-07 03:02:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 593801142e Initial revision 1997-09-07 02:56:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f01dff7e93 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.
1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28cad964ec Document newly revamped site configuration mechanism.
Damn the criticism in c.l.p!
1997-08-30 20:03:28 +00:00

1997-08-30 20:02:25 +00:00

Fred Drake 5de31fc094 Oops, don't suppress echo of the rm command in l2hclean! 1997-08-22 18:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 03ff6f7474 Simplify LaTeX2HTML targets && support re-use of output directories (which
saves re-generation of images).

Add l2hclean target.
1997-08-22 18:18:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 289f97d0ea Changed description of SchedParams() in the following way:
\bar{Besocial} --> \var{besocial}
	     ^--- note case ----^

The fixed version matches the signature.  Changed "\bar{Besocial} gives ..."
to "The \var{besocial} flag gives ..." to keep from starting the sentence
with a lowercase token.

(The \bar{} --> \var{} change was required to keep LaTeX happy.)
1997-08-22 13:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 2999607e59 Added missing "\end{funcdesc}" after FindFolder documentation. 1997-08-22 13:45:13 +00:00

Fred Drake b065452ebc Bump up the version number. The date still needs to be set (Guido will

version.  (1.5a2 got skipped for this.)
1997-07-25 13:14:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 12d9eac0a2 A couple of grammatical nits.
Re-sequenced the function descriptions so that the formatting is described
