Fred Drake 17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note

This closes bug #121672.
 2000-11-17 19:44:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 977fe96a05 Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, and 
breaks things.
 2000-11-17 19:09:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original 
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

Fred Drake a776cea71a Document the proper exception to be raised by I/O operations on closed 
files; error reported by Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com>.

Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.
 2000-11-06 20:17:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dce7b3737 Make sure we clean up the index data each time it is written by LaTeX. 2000-11-03 02:57:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 4bc0aed3a6 Fix cut & paste error that describes three paramters when there are only 
two [bug #119729].

Update use of distutils.sysconfig that "broke" when Greg W. changed the API
[bug #119645].
 2000-11-02 21:49:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 19647ca318 Typo: writeable --> writable 
Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
 2000-11-01 03:12:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 5942b439b3 define_module(): Change the "index sub-item" for definitions at module 
scope to be " (in module <name>)" instead of
                  " (in <name>)" to be consistent with \withsubitem
                  usage throughout the documentation.  This achieves
                  consistency in indexing throughout the documentation.
 2000-10-30 06:24:56 +00:00
Fred Drake ec77e6590d Fix \withsubitem so that it actually works if the only indexing macro in 
the content body is the \ttindex macro, which seems to match actual usage.

Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be
" (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)".  This is need to match
uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation.  (Not ideal, but
gets achieves consistency.)
 2000-10-30 06:22:22 +00:00
Fred Drake d34cfcb4c7 Revise the message to be a little nicer. 
Have the mail sent to the python-dev and Doc-SIG lists.
 2000-10-29 13:21:45 +00:00
Fred Drake a33c566138 Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not proven 
to be very robust.  Using \index directly fixes a lot of entries in the
index that had to be specifically read to determine that they had the
wrong parenthesized description.
 2000-10-29 05:19:16 +00:00
Fred Drake efffe8e317 Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere, 
and to provide more consistent indexing.

Added an index entry.

Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
 2000-10-29 05:10:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 8fdb6383dc Update author information. 2000-10-28 04:08:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aecfc9681 Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from the 
basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>.

This closes bug #119485.
 2000-10-26 21:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 4532dc1bd9 Do not require packages that are not needed. 2000-10-26 21:13:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 351960de94 Normalize the HTML generated for table headers. 2000-10-26 20:14:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c7fc77d22 Minor simplification. 2000-10-26 20:01:09 +00:00
Fred Drake ca92eeba6f Update the dependency information to allow the other Makefiles to handle 
as much of this as possible.  Avoids propogating information about how
various outputs relate (or don't!).
 2000-10-26 19:26:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 956698819f Noted that building the info version requires the HTML::Element package, 
and provided instructions for getting it installed.
 2000-10-26 19:01:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 585698aa59 All acknowledgements have been moved to the Doc/ACKS file. 
Adjusted to reflect the rename of Setup.in to Setup.dist.

Added pointer to the "Distributing Python Modules" manual in the
appropriate place.
 2000-10-26 17:19:58 +00:00
Fred Drake eff9a87fcc Lots of small markup adjustments for consistency with the rest of the 
documentation.
 2000-10-26 16:41:03 +00:00
Fred Drake bce920129c Typo: shorted --> shorter 
This closes bug #117706.
 2000-10-25 23:22:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not 
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
 2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dba66cb72 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method 
was added in 2.0.
 2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 8940fafabd Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documenting 
getdefaultencoding() and setdefaultencoding().
 2000-10-25 21:02:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 1491cace2a Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre Lemburg 
<mal@lemburg.com>.

Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
 2000-10-25 20:59:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 7497bd3e3d Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for 
whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python.  (These tools are
also used for the How-To documents, etc.)


get_version_text():  New function.  Returns HTML fragment describing the
        software version and documentation date.

bot_navigation_panel():  Include the result of get_version_text() at the
        end, so the information is available on every page.
 2000-10-25 16:18:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d04592a46b Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for 
whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python.  (These tools are
also used for the How-To documents, etc.)
 2000-10-25 16:15:13 +00:00
Fred Drake e4359952c0 Remove some HTML from the PYTHONDOCS fragment defined here. 2000-10-25 16:12:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 6a11960ed4 Minor addition; add a little formatting to the release information that 
will be added to Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl shortly.
 2000-10-25 16:10:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7ceab739d0 Make this actually work now that the tool is checked in here instead of 
just sitting around in my working directory.
 2000-10-24 19:59:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 277a21150b Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module. 2000-10-24 02:35:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 669d36f02c Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>: 
Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API.

FLD:  I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor
details to Paul's text, but that's it.  Given the substantial
structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be
making additional revisions over the next few days.
 2000-10-24 02:34:45 +00:00
Fred Drake f61eac425a Remove second horizontal line below table headers; it is just too 
distracting.
 2000-10-24 02:18:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 8902442e2f Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString() 
and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using
PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n).

This closes bug #117377.

Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of
them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL.

"de-allocated" --> "deallocated"
 2000-10-23 16:00:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 246f65f2bb Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()

Fred Drake 8c2fd49cc3 Added missing entry for invert() function. 
Added table mapping abstract operations to syntax to functions, based on
a suggestion from Bob Weiner <weiner@beopen.com>.
 2000-10-22 03:19:30 +00:00
Greg Ward 7ef2ba796b Minor tweaks to catch up with the current code in a few spots. 
Wrote the "Distutils Configuration Files" section.
 2000-10-22 01:40:08 +00:00
Fred Drake d097d48200 Flesh out the "LaTeX Primer" some more. 2000-10-20 20:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 860106ae90 Update the display of some floating point values at the interactive prompt 
to reflect current behavior.
This closes SourceForge bug #117305.

Made a reference to the library reference a hyperlink.

Fixed some minor markup nits.
 2000-10-20 03:03:18 +00:00
Fred Drake a577aa2003 Remove the bzip2 archives from the "distfiles" target. There are not 
enough downloads to keep this around.
 2000-10-19 13:25:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a41f54958 Two more names. 2000-10-19 05:58:03 +00:00

Python documentation.
