Fred Drake c457ca7ede Fix up Barry's markup, which didn't pass the latex test. ;-) 1998-07-23 20:31:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to 
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
 1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now 
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.
 1998-07-23 19:50:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 27467e4b7e Logical markup. 1998-07-23 19:47:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b18a93b4c8 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version (hardly anything original). 1998-07-23 19:36:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table 
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
 1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 8cab549c0a use_latex(): Hack to pass .syn files though uniq, so that the last module 
in a HOWTO document isn't listed in the synopsis table twice.  This
	will do until the real bug is found (low priority!).
 1998-07-23 19:13:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 465a42a58e Added targets dvi, pdf, and ps, to make all of the documents in those formats. 1998-07-23 18:10:51 +00:00
Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake fe7f3bc2aa Adjusted to use the new \declaremodule \modulesynopsis \localmoduletable 
macros.
 1998-07-23 17:55:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfb658c386 'name space' -> 'namespace' 1998-07-23 17:54:36 +00:00
Fred Drake a488f30627 Lots of new stuff for "module synopsis support." Public interface consists 
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:

  \declaremodule:  Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
	extension), and the module name.  An optional parameter should be
	given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
	referencing the section.  The "key" should only be given if the
	module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
	underscore's stripped.  This should be the first thing after the
	\section used to introduce the module.

  \modulesynopsis:  Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
	description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
	introduction.  This should probably be placed just after the
	\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.

  \localmoduletable:  No parameters.  If a .syn file exists for the current
	chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
	is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.

Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.

Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.
 1998-07-23 17:50:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 2fcadb2ffb \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the .syn file. 1998-07-23 17:36:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cc6d53f65 \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the "current" .syn file. 
\chapter:  Extended, ensures that a pending module synopsis is written out
	and then closes the .syn file for the preceeding chapter.
 1998-07-23 17:36:14 +00:00
Fred Drake c31cc38106 Ignore the new ".syn" files used to handle module synopses. 1998-07-23 17:33:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 83b2f8ad3d Lots of changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented 
some previously undocumented features.
 1998-07-23 17:12:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum be260101cb # Oops, correct Latex errors. 1998-07-22 21:51:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0af2f63056 Document how to make a POST request with urlopen().

 1998-07-22 21:34:21 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that 
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
 1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00
Fred Drake a9f445cd8d Add libthreading.tex to LIBFILES. 1998-07-20 14:01:20 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py, 
with LaTeX markup added, and some small rewrites to improve the prose.
 1998-07-20 13:46:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfba2fbfd0 Eric Raymond documents two already-existing functions (bmp, png). 1998-07-17 19:01:29 +00:00
Fred Drake f029548ac2 Added item about index item/subitem separation. 1998-07-08 21:42:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 5da5a68325 Fix suggested by Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it> to keep the 
large letter at the top of each index section with at least the first entry
for that letter.
 1998-07-08 21:37:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a4289a79f8 In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument, 
change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:].  Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.
 1998-07-07 20:18:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7bda89f694 Rewritten a bit to address some criticism in the newsgroup. 1998-07-06 20:47:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
 1998-07-06 13:18:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 1717ba498f Normalize markup. 1998-07-02 19:36:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 579d366458 Normalize the markup. 1998-07-02 19:35:12 +00:00

Reflects Guido's revision.
 1998-07-02 19:33:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e54abe92e Fix the \kbd definition so it didn't leave the courier face on. 1998-07-01 14:49:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands 
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.
 1998-07-01 14:10:52 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system. 
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
 1998-07-01 13:58:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf51dacfb8 Document __copy__() and __deepcopy__() methods. 1998-06-30 16:54:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp". 
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.
 1998-06-30 16:53:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit... 
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.
 1998-06-30 16:02:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists. 
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...
 1998-06-30 15:56:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9c59ce9b5a Documented os.linesep (line separator). 1998-06-30 15:54:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd90509d58 As suggested by pson@pson.pp.se, correct the docs for head(), body(), 
article().

 1998-06-29 22:48:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 002f7aae08 Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files. 1998-06-28 19:16:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f9cfb173cd Now cmd is documented too. 1998-06-28 18:01:59 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 8668e8e49c Contributions by Eric Raymond: documentation for modules 
cmd, multifile and smtplib.
 1998-06-28 17:55:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also 
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.
 1998-06-27 18:25:44 +00:00
Fred Drake e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional; 
it's already decribed that way in the description.
 1998-06-25 16:26:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d4a54da32 Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it 
to pypaper.sty.

Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
 1998-06-22 17:50:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 44c413b05e Make the large letter at the top of each section use the sans-serif font, 
like any other header.
 1998-06-22 17:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e7c82648f Added texinputs/pypaper.sty to the list of manual style files, so that the 
.dvi files are properly dependent on it.
 1998-06-22 17:14:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 65b7863efc Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction between 
^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.
 1998-06-22 15:02:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it 
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
 1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
 1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have 
the empty prompt.
 1998-06-19 21:19:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 59160706b3 Somewhat updated, but not checked for everything (just the stuff I was using). 1998-06-19 21:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b7f6688d2 Added a stronger warning about changing the dictionary returned by 
locals().
 1998-06-18 16:45:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file 
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
 1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to 
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
 1998-06-17 15:16:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 872948350f Some extra notes, and describe a new class (AddressList), all by ESR. 1998-06-16 22:27:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 60f2f0cf8e Lots of changes to get this in sync with the Frame version. 
Added raw strings, imaginary literals, assert and exec (!) keywords, a

 1998-06-15 18:00:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0bd3795d6a Two small additions to make it identical to the obsolete Frame version. 1998-06-15 16:27:37 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 1299100324 Document the changes I just checked in. 1998-06-10 21:34:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e5fe422cc Document several variables that were previously undocumented, 
including the new __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__.
Also moved setttrace around to its proper place in the alphabet.
 1998-06-10 17:57:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 929bd0e02e Added notes about epochs, the year 2038, and a small Y2K disclaimer 
(all with index entries!).  Also update the list of functions that
take or yield a time represented as a 9-tuple.
 1998-06-09 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d23758be7 Added docs for strptime(). 1998-06-09 16:30:56 +00:00

Guido van Rossum a58e9edbef Document missing functions: xor, not, truth, countOf, indexOf, and 
(new!) contains.
 1998-05-22 18:48:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 6a50ba82ce Minor grammatical correction: "This module perform ..." --> "This module 
performs ...".
 1998-05-22 18:19:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 885215c3da Added support for AMK's {definitions} environment; thanks for the reminder! 1998-05-20 21:32:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bf7865a20 Added {definitions} environment, which has \term to define indivual terms. 
Similar to {description}.
 1998-05-20 17:42:17 +00:00
Fred Drake e194beb829 Don't use a separate node for footnotes; see if people scream. ;-) 1998-05-19 19:38:49 +00:00
Fred Drake e87ab1fbf2 Fix definition of release_version (global). 1998-05-19 19:37:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 7c68ab2f2b Added entry for mimetypes. 1998-05-19 19:13:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 806a1bf34f webcheck target in this Makefile wasn't used. 1998-05-19 18:04:44 +00:00

Fred Drake edde150127 Add mimetypes documentation to library reference dependencies. 1998-05-19 15:04:21 +00:00
Fred Drake b818b46b38 Add section documenting mimetypes module. 1998-05-19 15:03:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c85be6a0ff Fix another oldie (item (b) only): 
Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.
 1998-05-16 02:11:10 +00:00
Fred Drake e593b6213a Small change to the l2h target allowing the output dir, $(HTMLDIR), to be 
a sibling of the html/ directory in the distribution.
 1998-05-15 17:50:32 +00:00
Fred Drake a4565b0796 Update to use latex2html 98.1p5. 1998-05-15 17:14:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 8dbf46a79e Update to use latex2html 98.1p5. 
Cleanup temporary files produced by latex2html in the output directory.
 1998-05-15 17:13:08 +00:00
Fred Drake e0a0fcd552 Update note about latex2html version required. 1998-05-15 17:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake cdbd391415 Add support for the Macintosh Library Modules document. 1998-05-15 17:02:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b73cdfe60 Revise comment about \let support a little to more accurately reflect the 
support that's offered.
 1998-05-15 16:59:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 13b1f43851 Ignore the mac/ directory.... 1998-05-15 16:56:44 +00:00
Fred Drake d637406df1 Update to use the output names used by latex2html for the Python Reference 
Manual; the old FrameMaker names no longer apply.
 1998-05-15 16:18:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a4ad0fc83 Extend handling for \let a bit, to also allow \let\something=<character>. We 
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character.  Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.
 1998-05-15 13:45:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d1b3384c3 Remove debugging echo. 1998-05-15 13:38:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e16f6798ae do_cmd_let(): Simple implementation to allow \let to be used to establish 
synonyms for macros.  This supports:

	\let\newname = \oldname
	\let\newname\oldname

This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.
 1998-05-15 04:28:37 +00:00
Fred Drake d07868ae52 Added support for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress. 1998-05-14 21:00:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 6df93ef9dd Added definitions for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress. 
Ask Guido if you really want to know why.  ;-)
 1998-05-14 20:56:31 +00:00
Fred Drake df825a10fc Fix the fix to allow the .tex document sources not live in ".". 1998-05-14 20:36:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 25d4e2873c Mostly spurious change to ensure that everyone's version of this picks up the 
execute bit.... problem discovered by Guido.
 1998-05-14 20:07:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f4fc476885 Don't run tools/toc2bkm.py unless we're building PDF. 
Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path.  Guido
discovered we needed this.
 1998-05-14 20:03:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5c07d9b028 Updated markup style (got rid of \verb@...@, mostly). 1998-05-14 19:37:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 203b4f1a25 Add an index entry. 
Bow to font lock.
 1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00

Fred Drake e34ab30a3f Switch to .tgz instead of .tar.gz to appease Windows users. 
Clean up the clean & clobber targets.
 1998-05-11 21:10:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 72dd58d90e Use .tgz instead of .tar.gz for the output file name. 1998-05-11 21:08:39 +00:00
Fred Drake d2af396dd5 Change ignored extension .tar.gz to .tgz. 1998-05-11 21:07:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 2f61cd4dcc Ignore intermediate files. 1998-05-11 21:06:18 +00:00
Fred Drake ba1700c7bb Set the right page size in the PDF output. 1998-05-11 20:42:54 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d473fd5c Add --letter option, similar to --a4. This is a no-op, but can be used from 
a Makefile:  mkhowto.sh --$(PAPER).
 1998-05-11 20:40:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 8981fdf16e Add the clean, clobber targets here for this directory. 1998-05-11 19:54:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions, 
and allows the info to work through this section.
 1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 58ff112e7f Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 19:06:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 4190fae02a Added a section about documentation for the Mac modules. 1998-05-11 19:05:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a3541c29c Oops, better add it to the usage message! 1998-05-11 19:04:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 3504952781 Add easy-to-use support for A4 paper. 1998-05-11 19:04:06 +00:00
Fred Drake efad443351 Remove the tarhtml target; not useful from the sub-make. 1998-05-11 18:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 29cabd4cd7 Pass the release number to the tools/mktarball.sh script. 
Nits.
 1998-05-11 18:53:07 +00:00
Fred Drake f2fa1e2afe Accept the release number on the command line instead of hardcoding it. 1998-05-11 18:52:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 323dc70de5 Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 18:41:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e7edb80e3 do_cmd_kwindex(): Re-implement now that \kwindex is used again (ref man). 1998-05-11 18:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake d69e2c4f33 Update some of the comments. 
Update the .tar.gz targets so that they work from the top level.

Reinstate the api, ext, lib, ref, and tut targets.
 1998-05-11 18:25:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 41814bc51f In package Override, use the getcwd() function from the Cwd module instead of 
the one from Override.pm (part of latex2html).

Absolutize the TEXINPUTS environment variable, since we can't count on
latex2html doing it for us (even though I sent in a patch, and it really
should).
 1998-05-11 18:23:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 099b76c3bd Changed some comments.... no longer mention FrameMaker. 1998-05-11 16:31:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b9838d97ad Fix a comment. 
Avoid extra level of recursion in the paper-*/ directories.

Added the "info" target to use the subdir.  Partparse, however, is broken
again.
 1998-05-08 15:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 9447e592d9 No longer needed. 1998-05-08 15:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a5d80564af Remove unneeded line. 1998-05-08 15:40:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ffa21c7aa Adjust to new file layout. 1998-05-08 15:37:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 47fd8fed7c Move the rules to build the info files here. 1998-05-08 15:36:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 230b530a6a Relocating file to Doc/info. 1998-05-08 15:35:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 445cfd339c l2h target: Do the "right thing" regarding the paper-*/ subdirs as the other 
"big" targets.  Fix is to set the TEXINPUTS on the command line of the
	sub-make.
 1998-05-08 04:02:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f4166a478a Some versions of latex2html don't automatically append the .tex extension to 
the name of the main .tex source file if it's not in the current directory.
 1998-05-08 04:00:56 +00:00
Fred Drake df68e3dd6d $(KPSEWHICH): Use the older style of calling kpsewhich with the arg 
specifying *which* type of path to search.  This works for both
	teTeX 0.4 and 0.9.  This is what we call portability these days!  ;-)
 1998-05-08 03:46:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a9129c7e8 /bin/sed works on both Solaris and RedHat Linux; /usr/bin/sed does not. 1998-05-08 03:42:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 566d20951d Oops! Must have deleted a word by accident before the last check-in of this 
file; "make" (the 'all' target) became a no-op!

Now works as previously described.
 1998-05-08 02:00:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 19c7c84db8 Be a little more robust handling filenames. 1998-05-07 21:20:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 8923c72c8f Ignore the webchecker turd. 1998-05-07 20:13:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a96cca7ec Added the webcheck target here. 1998-05-07 20:00:59 +00:00
Fred Drake f295113f1f Cleaned out some more cruft. 
Added some new cruft.

For some of the "big" targets, force things to happen in the "right"
subdirectory, i.e., "make" will build the DVI and PostScript files in the
paper-letter/ directory, and "make PAPER=a4" will build DVI and PostScript
files in the paper-a4/ directory.

Probably still needs some restructuring.
 1998-05-07 19:30:16 +00:00
Fred Drake a34f7e6a5d Some cleanup, added clean & clobber targets. 1998-05-07 19:27:40 +00:00
Fred Drake bf332696a1 Add support for a --pdf option to cause a PDF file to be created instead; 
most of the processing is the same and has to be done anyway.
 1998-05-07 17:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f8e4415578 Markup consistency. 
Using \input instead of \include to avoid extra .aux files from being
generated.
 1998-05-07 17:27:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 47b0ecd580 Small updates. 1998-05-07 16:32:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ef1b079a2 Preliminary convenience Makefile. 1998-05-07 15:12:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 106fe12ebf Better go ahead and remove some cruftiness.... 1998-05-07 15:05:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 9cdf08797e Support the new directory structure. 
Some targets may be a little raw, but the basic formatting targets are all
tested, primarily for use from the subdirs.  There are probably a few
gotchas, and the paper-*/ directories could use "helper" Makefiles.
 1998-05-07 15:03:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 46ed208b46 Relocating file to Doc/html. 1998-05-07 15:00:46 +00:00

Fred Drake 4c9542b271 Ignore subdirectories if your name is "cvs". 1998-05-07 14:51:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 60515f49b8 Sub-makefile that can be used to drive the HTML conversion from this subdir. 
Most of the logic is still in the primary Makefile and a new script in
Doc/tools/.
 1998-05-07 14:50:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 4775d0a353 Relocating file to mac. 1998-05-07 12:58:57 +00:00

Fred Drake bbe33c5594 More changes to support the new directory structure. 1998-05-07 01:39:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 5360879740 New helper script to build the .dvi for a Python manual; usable for the 
api, ext, ref, and tut manuals.  The Library Reference requires too much
special index processing to make it beneficial to extend this to support
it.
 1998-05-07 01:38:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e6c6b2645 Relocating file to Doc/ref. 1998-05-07 01:36:12 +00:00

Fred Drake 0cabff904f \itembreak, 
\itemjoin,
\kwindex:  Revived definitions to support the Python Reference Manual.

being in the current directory.

Be more careful cleaning up.

Add recent additions to the dependencies for lib.dvi.
 1998-04-28 19:20:43 +00:00

Removed some old stuff.

Do better hiding of internal names.
 1998-04-28 18:30:34 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6b4fe36b Section for bisect module. 1998-04-28 18:28:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 188a8471b8 Moved popen2 entry to make more sense. 
Added bisect entry.
 1998-04-28 18:27:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 125024a87d Updated. 1998-04-28 18:27:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2aefe8d7c0 Document changed semantics -- open() now guesses the db type and error 
is now a tuple of various and sundry exceptions.
 1998-04-28 15:29:26 +00:00
Fred Drake f8d50bfdb0 Hook in the calendar and popen2 sections. 1998-04-28 14:29:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 6afad3792d popen2 section for the library reference, contributed by Drew Csillag, with 
some reorganization.
 1998-04-28 14:28:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a1cc3e171 Use of \key and \kbd were isolated to one instance each in this file; 
normalize to \kbd to allow removal of \key from the document class.
 1998-04-28 13:38:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f31694d37 Document transfercmd(), ntransfercmd(), delete(), rmd(), size(). 
Thanks to Timothy Wild <twild@clear.net.nz> for catching the omission of
delete().
 1998-04-27 14:54:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 23916e78d0 clean target: Remove intermediate files from creation of outline in PDF. 1998-04-25 04:15:56 +00:00

for the manual documents.
 1998-04-25 04:12:17 +00:00
Fred Drake b4929a794e Paper size / font size configuration file. 
This is separated so I can build A4 and US Letter sizes without having to
edit files.

Anyone who downloads the source package can also simply edit this file,
which is a lot shorter than the manual.cls file, and easier to find the
appropriate line.
 1998-04-25 04:11:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 8805354bbc Simplify how some options get propogated. 1998-04-24 21:57:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 3af9f2514f Added libpoplib.tex to dependencies for the library reference. 
Some mods to allow PS to be generated when the current dir is *not* Doc;

Guido van Rossum a937d14898 Fred's right -- we need PyList_SET_ITEM(). 1998-04-24 18:22:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dc1c970b0f This script appears to no longer be in the toolchain for Python 
documentation, so it has been moved to ../../Tools/scripts

Fred, please verify.
 1998-04-23 22:57:16 +00:00

I suppose we really do need a markup guide.  -sigh-
 1998-04-23 14:06:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4447513e94 Filled in some more blanks, with the help of Drew Csillag. 1998-04-21 15:30:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 255284b42a Fix problem for the Library Reference where high-numbered sections of 
high-numbered chapters took too much space for the section number in the
table of contents.  This makes the section number and title not overlap.
 1998-04-20 16:55:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 42de185a77 Added \label to subsections which didn't have one, since this module has 
subsections listed in the documentation index sidebar.  (Why?)
 1998-04-20 16:28:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a933f6a53d Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two* 
times pi.  Got rid of $math$ here and in one other place.
 1998-04-20 14:43:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 476412a918 cleanup(): Get rid of module index turds. 1998-04-17 20:25:55 +00:00

Fred Drake a2890b0986 Make the intro section explicit, so that latex2html puts it on a separate 
page from the table of contents.
 1998-04-17 20:07:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7984256f4d build_ps(): Fix flags to dvips.

 1998-04-17 20:06:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ccf330e4c next_optional_argument(): Don't include the square brackets in the return 
value.

ArabictoRoman():  Acquired function from Robert Donohue
	<donahue@cfassp48.harvard.edu>; might be useful someday, and I don't
	want to figure it out again!
 1998-04-17 20:04:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f6d6e487c Fix things. Blame Andy Eskilsson <andy.eskilsson@telelogic.se>. 
But I'm not giving this or the info files out until Andy (or anyone else)
agrees to take over the maintenance of this script!  Hah!
 1998-04-17 15:28:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f5155817b Mark TMPDIR correctly. 1998-04-17 14:51:04 +00:00

variable isn't used yet.
 1998-04-17 14:01:44 +00:00

Fred Drake 60961c561d Python HOWTO document that replaces the old Mac section from the reference 
manual.
 1998-04-17 02:47:13 +00:00

break HOWTO documents.

Fred Drake 08932054e9 New helper functions to help deal with parameter parsing. 
Use the helpers in do_cmd_*() and do_env_*(); *much* cleaner!
 1998-04-17 02:15:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 64bdc24301 Code cleanup, some syntax modernization. 1998-04-17 02:14:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b303b4bdd Signature for dir() omitted the optional argument. 1998-04-16 22:10:27 +00:00
Fred Drake bf88c3830e Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a2c2a836d7 Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
"." cannot be part of the target names either.

any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:01 +00:00
Fred Drake a88d681255 Change the form of the name given to each page of the PDF from "page.%d" to 
"page.%dx"; this works around an acroread bug that causes targets not to be
recognized if their name is a prefix of another target in the file.
 1998-04-15 14:53:28 +00:00
Fred Drake d671e8fb87 Added dependency on the tools/toc2bkm.py script for the PDF files. 1998-04-15 14:50:56 +00:00

Fred Drake 12d9fc94f4 Use shorter labels; using long labels creates problems on the Macintosh. 
(Thanks, Just!)
 1998-04-14 17:19:54 +00:00

Fred Drake 3e7a48e0d9 Revert markup around list of display fields from the disassembler; it doesn't 
look at good in print, but doesn't break the HTML.
 1998-04-13 16:15:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ad125e611 Fix bug in little-used markup: don't forget to pass the source text along! 1998-04-13 14:18:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 7238988657 Fixed example to load the startup file from a script (didn't test for the 
file's existance).

Removed some XXX comments about extension modules which support pickling.

Added text from AMK about the readline and rlcompleter modules.

Thanks, AMK!
 1998-04-13 01:31:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 003d8da779 Typo: (and often severly limited) -- severely 
Typo: (but not to the tuple or list into which the item it put!) -- is put

Thanks, AMK!
 1998-04-13 00:53:42 +00:00
Fred Drake b85fbec83b "ZeroDevisionError" --> "ZeroDivisionError" 
Thanks, AMK!
 1998-04-13 00:50:04 +00:00
