Revert to ver 1.22, which was the version before the nested scopes
...
docs were introduced. This loses a few small changes, but Fred says
that's okay.

Add sys.excepthook.
...
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.

Be more clear about the specific rules for supporting the cyclic GC in an
...
extension object. Also included an example showing exactly what needs to
be done and nothing else.
This closes SF bug #228591 .
2001-03-22 16:30:17 +00:00
c392b570db
Integrated an expanded version of some text from Neil Schemenauer about
...
supporting cyclic garbage collection. (This is not all of it, but I'm
taking a break!)
Also fixed some markup nits.
2001-03-21 22:15:01 +00:00

Moved the description of the tzparse module to the "Obsolete" section

Finally fill in the documentation for the PyDict_Next() function. It is
...
different enough to actually require an explanation. ;-)
Fix a couple of PyDictObject* types that should be PyObject* types.

(Based on reader comment!)
2001-03-08 22:46:41 +00:00
9eb41557ef
Add more font flavors for <var> elements; the previous incarnation caused
...
some NT/IE5.5 users to see only boxes for these characters. This might be
specific to NT Service Pack 6.

Turn "Python Documentation Central" into just "Documentation Central"; some
...
Web browsers tried to wrap lines in bad ways, so we avoid the problem by
putting fewer words on the page.
2001-03-06 07:28:20 +00:00
2636572d76
Make sure the README files that contain page count information land in

the right directory (which actually exists).
2001-03-06 07:22:16 +00:00
67fdaa4883
Correct typos in Ping's email address.
...
Remove premature use of negative indexes in string operation examples;
negative indexes have not been explained at that point, and the use of
negative indexes are not necessary for the examples.
2001-03-06 07:19:34 +00:00

Update documentation to reflect the shift to NetrcParseError instead of

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

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

Label classes and exceptions explicitly in the documentation (for their

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

For copyfile(), be explicit that src and dst are file names; that was only

implied.

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

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.
