Fred Drake f3d41272c6 Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
directory.  This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.

Fred Drake 4dfad57235 Add a reference to the sha module, noting that SHA is considered more

Fred Drake bd2d4f1252 Use the \setshortversion macro to specify the abbreviated version number.
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.

Fred Drake d5d0435617 Use \shortversion in a number of places.

Fred Drake 3cdb89d5ec do_cmd_shortversion(),
do_cmd_setshortversion():  Implementation for new markup.

convert_args():  New helper function.

do_cmd_optional():  Modified to understand when it is called from within
                    a convert_args() invocation.

do_env_funcdesc(),
do_env_funcdescni(),
do_cmd_funcline(),
do_cmd_funclineni(),
handle_classlike_descriptor(),
do_env_methoddesc(),
do_end_methoddescni(),
do_cmd_methodline(),
do_cmd_methodlineni():  Modified to use helper convert_args().

The convert_args() helper and related changes fix the generation of HTML
for the \optional markup, so that bogus </var>...<var> is not generated.
This closes SourceForge bug #113800.
2000-09-14 20:17:23 +00:00
Fred Drake af2b71466a \shortversion,
\setshortversion:  New markup to help deal with Python having a "real"

                   used to create pathnames to the library installation.
