Fred Drake c55ae4b98c Clean up the use of version numbers in filenames; always use an "abstract"
version number, and explain what it is at the top of the chapter.
This closes SF bug #225003.
2002-04-19 04:04:57 +00:00
Fred Drake c63042bcc4 Move the listing of the type structure, since both the C API reference and

Add a hyperlink to a related section in the Python/C API reference.
2002-04-12 19:08:31 +00:00
Fred Drake e77e5ef2af Change example of retrieving & calling a Python function to not use
PyModule_GetDict(), which is also more flexible: it does not assume that the
"module" is a real module.
2002-04-12 19:04:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 292da58a5c Change the type of the tp_dealloc back to what it really is.
Change a section title to fit in better.

Fix the descriptions of the es and es# formats for PyArg_Parse*().
This closes SF bug #536516.
2002-04-05 23:01:14 +00:00

This closes SF bug #537511.
2002-04-01 23:12:25 +00:00
Fred Drake fe5a5388c3 Use the right types for a couple of fields of the type structure. 2002-03-29 22:46:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ffd14c9ea Started updating information about defining attributes on types.
There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real
content in the docs.
2002-03-29 22:45:28 +00:00
Fred Drake b1af6376e9 Mark a couple of types that had not been marked. 2002-03-28 23:46:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f9a34da2c Added comments for more entries of the type structure in the example
type implementation.
2002-03-28 23:45:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ab0a10913 The new files included by \verbatiminput in newtypes.tex. 2002-03-28 23:32:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 81b750d467 Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, and
include them using \verbatiminput.  This has the advantage that pages
can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than
a page won't get cut off.

Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency.

Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first
arg.

Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.
2002-03-28 23:12:09 +00:00
Fred Drake e9fba9188e Added index entries. 2002-03-28 22:36:56 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson 8fbd4a3e78 That hasn't been my email address for a while! 2002-01-16 14:55:05 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 3e3eacb5fc Fixed "u#" parser marker to pass through Unicode objects as-is without
going through the buffer interface API.

Added tests for this to the _testcapi module and updated docs.
2002-01-09 16:21:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f29319197 Replace the "Cookbook approach" with the approach documented in
PC/example_nt/readme.txt; this one does not rely on any external scripts.
This "fixes" SF bug #221671 and most of SF bug #225003.
2001-12-13 17:20:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 145b479508 Added discussion of protecting against screwing up the exception state in
an object's deallocator, including an example of how to do this.
2001-12-11 19:28:22 +00:00

detector.

2001-11-29 07:16:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 99181ac64e Add an index entry for the discussion of PyEval_CallObject().
This is related to SF bug #485165.
2001-11-29 05:02:34 +00:00
Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
2001-11-28 07:26:15 +00:00
Fred Drake ef6373a4f6 Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, and
always fill in all slots of table entries.
Fixed a few minor markup errors.
2001-11-17 06:50:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 0aa811c527 Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate. 2001-10-20 04:24:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7a59445e37 Document required return values -1, 0, 1 for tp_compare handler, as
suggested in SF patch #424475.  Also document exception return.
2001-10-16 20:32:05 +00:00
Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
2001-09-30 05:09:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ab0ac7cd4 Remove comment that no longer applies. 2001-09-26 22:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 396ca574dd Document the rule that Python.h must be included before any standard
headers.  This is the final checkin for SF bug #458768.
