 2000-09-22 18:19:37 +00:00
Fred Drake c0e6c5beb2 PyNumber_Coerce() returns an int, not a PyObject *. 2000-09-22 18:17:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 3764b6b67e Fix the way we found relevant cfuncdesc lines; PREFIX was not a regular 
expression!
 2000-09-22 17:55:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 38178fd951 use_sans_serif(), 
use_italics():  Remove both functions, inlining use_italics() at its
                only call site.

init_myformat():  Uncomment line so that some internal markup does not
                  get generated, since it is not properly removed later.
                  (Fix on aspect of SourceForge bug #114749.)

Modified call to process_commands_wrap_deferred(), removing \code from
the list since it had a bad interaction with other changes in some contexts.
 2000-09-22 17:05:04 +00:00

Neil Schemenauer 544de1effb - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the 
collector will be saved in gc.garbage.  This is useful for debugging a
  program that creates reference cycles.

- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.
 2000-09-22 15:22:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 343ad7a572 Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial. 
<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.

Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the
change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6).

Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.
 2000-09-22 04:12:27 +00:00
Fred Drake f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>: 
Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.
 2000-09-21 22:27:16 +00:00
Fred Drake d68442b164 Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef Lannert

 2000-09-21 21:35:22 +00:00
Fred Drake cb0a0b3e80 New text about how to report bugs in Python and the documentation. 2000-09-21 21:32:14 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 3578b77312 Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects: 
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().
 2000-09-21 21:08:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 1bf4e93180 Convert the longest two tables from tableii to longtableii so they do not

 2000-09-21 16:04:08 +00:00
Fred Drake da72b93a01 Add new environments: longtableii, longtableiii, and longtableiv, to 
support long tables which might break across page boundaries.  Otherwise
identical to tableii, tableiii, and tableiv.
 2000-09-21 15:58:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 2964268db5 Allow the LaTeX markup descriptions to use the \moreargs and \unspecified 
macros in the argument list position.
 2000-09-21 15:53:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 31575ce817 Note that __getitem__() may receive a slice object as the index; 
reported by Detlef Lannert <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 05:28:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 02997491c1 Document directories are not always named with three characters any more; 
reported by Detlef Lannert <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 05:26:43 +00:00
Fred Drake fffe5dbc47 Fixed a number of small problems reported by Detlef Lannert 
<lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
 2000-09-21 05:25:30 +00:00
Fred Drake df84facf0d .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex 
once if all the temporary files are available from building
               a DVI file.  This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.
 2000-09-20 05:49:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 51f53df4c8 Clarify that the softspace attribute is used by print for state management, 
not as a user-controlled parameter.
 2000-09-20 04:48:20 +00:00
Fred Drake f5aa4ef07c Add entries for the xml.sax documentation. 2000-09-20 02:54:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e10ef74bb8 First cut at documentation for the xml.sax package (not including any 
sub-modules).
 2000-09-20 02:52:20 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize() 
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
 2000-09-19 21:04:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d27f898b2 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:

Fred Drake 02c7082745 make_nav_sectref(): Create more minimal HTML, hanging the class attribute 
off an existing anchor tag if available (I think it
                     always is, but am not completely sure).
 2000-09-19 15:36:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 752ba39a0b Clarify a number of issues about the file-like object API based on

Tim Peters 1de8098ca6 Repaired some glitches in the MD5 and SHA docs; copied the descriptions of 
the MD5 methods into the SHA docs (substituting "sha" for "md5", of course,
and changing the stuff that depended on digest size accordingly).
Fred, don't trust me!
 2000-09-18 15:34:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 5316ef4bbb Added documentation for new functions. 
Deprecated sequenceIncludes().

(Is there no macro to document a typedef?)

Fred, please check my latex!
 2000-09-16 16:30:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 634fc574e1 Use a really ugly hack that depends on output processing by LaTeX2HTML. 
This replaces the tilde character with the string ";SPMtilde;", which
LaTeX2HTML converts to a tilde on output.
 2000-09-16 14:16:57 +00:00

FRED, please check my monkey-see-monkey-do Tex fiddling!
 2000-09-16 03:54:24 +00:00

 2000-09-15 15:19:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 81c1735809 Add item to the list of limitations that points out the lack of support 
for authenticated proxies.  This is noted elsewhere, but this makes it
easier to find.

Fix typo where it was already mentioned.

This closes SourceForge bug #110619.
 2000-09-15 04:12:56 +00:00
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.
 2000-09-14 22:25:47 +00:00
Fred Drake aaa238585f When there is a Module Index, make sure the icon actually links to it. 2000-09-14 22:20:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 4dfad57235 Add a reference to the sha module, noting that SHA is considered more 
secure.  Suggested by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
 2000-09-14 21:47:32 +00:00

 2000-09-14 20:42:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a666b83c8 Remove reference to the stdwin-based windowed debugger, since stdwin 
is gone.

Make a module reference into a hyperlink.
 2000-09-14 20:32:17 +00:00
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.
 2000-09-14 20:28:26 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d0435617 Use \shortversion in a number of places. 
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.
 2000-09-14 20:24:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 3cdb89d5ec do_cmd_shortversion(), 
do_cmd_setshortversion():  Implementation for new markup.

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"
                   version number and an abbreviated version number
                   used to create pathnames to the library installation.
 2000-09-14 20:11:05 +00:00

 2000-09-13 00:12:37 +00:00
Greg Ward 1ed49eeb29 Changed/added a bunch of section labels so HTML files will be named nicely. 2000-09-13 00:00:58 +00:00
Greg Ward e24f05e25b Improve Windows and Mac OS-specific instructions for running the 
setup script.  Also added a comment about how it *should* work on Mac OS.
 2000-09-12 23:55:19 +00:00

Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have
been updated because one malloc family is gone (Py_Malloc).
You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section
for completeness and some cleanup at the end of the memory section.
 2000-09-12 20:17:17 +00:00
Fred Drake c56817353d Re-wrapped some wide comments. 
Fixed Module Index generation.

Fred Drake 643d76d735 Add support for new \pep, \seepep, excclassdesc markup. 
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL.  Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.

This does not fix the module index problem.
 2000-09-09 06:07:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e607964d1 excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based 
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.

\pep, \seepep:  New macros.  Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
        referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
        series of documents.
 2000-09-09 06:01:25 +00:00
