Fred Drake 68921dfa31 In note mentioning [].remove()'s exception, tell what exception is
raised.  Prompted by Barry's whining.  ;-0

Fred Drake d3fbdfd007 Add index entries for open():
buffer size, I/O
	I/O control, buffering
	line-buffered I/O
	unbuffered I/O
1999-08-05 13:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 8c9fc00f8d Add index entry "I/O control, buffering" for fdopen(). 1999-08-05 13:41:31 +00:00
Fred Drake a94f6762bc Add index entry "I/O control, buffering" for makefile(). 1999-08-05 13:41:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 58c5a2a53c Started documentation on buffer objects & types. Very preliminary.
Greg Stein:  Please help with this; it's your baby!

Guido van Rossum 068bdb181d Change the directory tree walking example to use clearer variable
names, some suggested by Joe Ellsworth.
1999-08-03 21:52:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 46ab6dfa89 Re-write in Python for portability. About 30% slower, but who cares?! 1999-08-03 17:54:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 82ebc27357 remap_element_names(): Only used for things that the new conversion
engine in latex2esis.py can do, so discard it.

paragraph detection & markup:  Handle some of the list-like
		environments properly, picking up paragraphs inside
		list items.  (Only changed a few element-sets used for
		recognition.)

fixup_refmodindexes_chunk():  Use the right attribute to determine the
		module a <ref*modindex/> element is referring to.

convert():  Don't call remap_element_names(); it was removed.
1999-08-03 15:32:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 2f6ec9ca81 The new conversion engine supports more of the table re-writing than
the old one, so use it.
1999-08-03 15:27:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 32bc45f737 Removed PyMapping_Clear() -- it was wishful thinking and serves no
great purpose.
1999-08-02 20:49:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 83c0983bf6 Use the mksourcepgk script instead of mktarball.sh. 1999-08-02 20:20:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 9ff3a6a6e7 Remove obsolete version of script. 1999-08-02 20:19:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 9f2b42080a Re-implementation of mktarball.sh as a more portable Python script;
with a more descriptive name.

Allow creation of multiple archive formats with a single pass; useful
in this case since it uses a fresh export/checkout from CVS to ensure
that the tree is "clean" (no build turds, saved files, &c).  Use --all
to create all supported formats.
1999-08-02 20:19:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 080c1b5af6 bwrite(), ewrite(): Helpers for diagnostic output; essentially the
same as sys.stderr.write(), but bwrite() will make it
		bold if stderr is a tty (for visibility).

		Use these everywhere instead of accessing
		sys.stderr.write() directly.

find_all_child_elements():  Find all elements by type name that are
		immediate children of another.

cleanup_synopses():  Receive both the document and fragment objects as
		parameters; if only the document is passed, synopsis
		information is never found since it's in the fragment!

build_para():	Add a chunk of code to ensure that a newline always
		follows the </para> end-tag.  Not really important, but
		makes presentation consistent for authoring/
		maintenance.

fixup_bifuncindexes_chunk(): Use find_all_child_elements() instead of
		find_all_elements() so we don't work with too many
		levels at once; that could cause DOM exceptions with
		the <elem>.removeChild() method.
1999-08-02 14:46:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 4fbdf9779c Mostly minor changes.
Removed some obsolete commented-out code.

Merged BaseConversion into Conversion since there's only one
conversion process now.

Remove push/pop of output stream; it's no longer needed.
1999-08-02 14:35:25 +00:00
Fred Drake d158b85896 This doesn't need to do nearly as much for the new conversion, so
simplify.
1999-08-02 14:32:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 031e222499 A few small improvements to the conversion. 1999-08-02 14:32:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c71b802c47 Markup nits.
Adjust examples to use the object interface instead of the function
interface.
1999-08-02 14:30:52 +00:00
Fred Drake ce201128b0 Fixed hyperlink references to the __builtin__ and __main__ modules;
error reported by Dale Nagata <DNagata@creo.com>.
1999-08-02 14:13:09 +00:00
Fred Drake eac8abee4e Ripped out the old conversion. 1999-07-29 22:42:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 865e9ff98e Added a few more passes through the document fragment. Not actually
very interesting.
1999-07-29 22:23:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 96e4a06fa6 Massive changes.
Separate the Conversion class into a base and a subclass; the subclass
is pretty minimal but the separation is useful for....

NewConversion:  New class that implements a somewhat different
		approach to the conversion.  This uses a table of
		instances (rather than tuples) that have more
		information than the tuples used for the older
		conversion procedure.  This allows a lot more control
		over the conversion, and it seems to be pretty
		stable.

TableEntry,
Parameter:	New classes that are used to build the conversion
		specification used by NewConversion.

TableParser:	xmllib.XMLParser subclass that builds a conversion
		specification from an XML document.

load_table():	Convenience function that loads a table from a file.

main():  Added flags --new and --old; these select which conversion is
	 used.  The default is --new.

Several fixes have been made in the old conversion as well; these were
done before writing & switching to the new conversion, and should be
archived.

The next checkin of this file will discard the old conversion; is is
kept in this checkin to allow it to be retrieved if needed, and to
avoid lossing the bugfixes that have been made to it in the interim.

Fred Drake 2394c98c05 Minor updates. 1999-07-29 22:14:09 +00:00
Fred Drake ada2de67b3 Use the (new) buildFragment() method of the EsisBuilder rather than
implementing it all here.
1999-07-29 22:13:31 +00:00
Fred Drake f032cdbb24 Some minor cleanup. 1999-07-29 22:03:52 +00:00
Fred Drake bc2285eb60 Conversion specification, used by a new path through latex2esis.py.
The specific markup conversion is coded here instead of an even more
cryptic table in the code of latex2esis.py.
1999-07-29 22:03:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 478a265057 Minor update. 1999-07-29 22:01:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c35367e439 Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the
new markup makes sense in context).

These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.
1999-07-29 13:56:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 4ef3ea0cc4 Add support for bzip2 compression.
New target: distfiles, create all distribution archives, regardless of
archive format.  (Individual targets remain for each archive format.)
1999-07-27 16:30:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 5772f33b6c Add support for bzip2 using --bzip2. 1999-07-27 16:29:30 +00:00
Fred Drake b5213c3010 Ignore additional compressed formats. 1999-07-27 14:23:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d21243c3e Added description of optional parameter to UserDict constructor.
Omission reported by Barry Warsaw.
1999-07-26 15:45:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dcc69a979 Add zip archive support for html, pdf, ps, and latex archives.
"zips" target produces all possible .zip files.
1999-07-23 16:11:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ea15f3495 Add --zip parameter; make this able to produce .zip files as well as
.tgz files.
1999-07-23 16:09:11 +00:00
Fred Drake de5d5ce7bc Update getattr() description to document the optional third
parameter.  Thanks to Barry Warsaw for pointing out the oversight.
1999-07-22 19:21:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 06c5a8b52e Make the default target xml instead of sgml. 1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dbde51f97 Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).
1999-07-22 13:56:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d48e458e4 typo: privide --> provide
Reported by Nadim Ghaznavi <nadim@ghaznavi.com>.
1999-07-20 13:21:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 860e256147 Added comment clarifying that RELEASE is the documentation release
number, not the Python release.

Removed VERSION since it is not used.
1999-07-12 16:52:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b3fb78ca8 do_cmd_funclineni(): New function; non-indexing form of \funcline. 1999-07-12 16:50:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 6db897c52c Move chdir() and getcwd() descriptions to "Files and Directories" with
a pointer from the "Process Parameters" section.  Based on comments
from Aahz Maruch, Tim Peters, and GvR.
1999-07-12 16:49:30 +00:00
Fred Drake f930d827bb Use the same names for CLASS attributes as elsewhere. 1999-07-12 16:28:50 +00:00
Fred Drake bb7eff96d4 Updated Milan's email address. 1999-07-12 15:26:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a4ceb707d Several methods return tuples, not lists. 1999-07-07 14:04:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 363d67c2e6 Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion).  Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.
1999-07-07 13:42:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1508970a47 dir() method description revised based on comments from Greg Stein. 1999-07-07 13:36:22 +00:00
