Fred Drake cebda6f5f0 Added documentation for WindowsError; omission noted by Michal Bozon
<bozon@natur.cuni.cz>.

(Mark Hammond, other Python/Windows cognoscenti: please check this!)

Fred Drake e99d1dbc74 Clarify the description of the else clause for try/except, and add an
explanation of why you'd want to use it.

Based on a question from Michael Simcich <msimcich@accesstools.com>.

Greg Ward eacdea8572 Reformatted all exception documentation as docstrings. 2000-04-15 22:23:47 +00:00
Greg Ward 02a1a2b077 Cleaned up/simplified error-handling:
- DistutilsOptionError is now documented as it's actually used, ie.
    to indicate bogus option values (usually user options, eg. from
    the command-line)
  - added DistutilsSetupError to indicate errors that definitely arise
    in the setup script
  - got rid of DistutilsValueError, and changed all usage of it to
    either DistutilsSetupError or ValueError as appropriate
  - simplified a bunch of option get/set methods in Command and
    Distribution classes -- just pass on AttributeError most of
    the time, rather than turning it into something else

Jeremy Hylton 4a3dd2dcc2 Fix PR#7 comparisons of recursive objects
Note that comparisons of deeply nested objects can still dump core in
extreme cases.

Fred Drake 0556501a81 Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au>:
The following adds support for RTSP (RFC2326) URLs to the standard
urlparse.py module.

(Augmented by FLD to include rtspu:, specified in the same RFC & OK'd
by Anthony.)

Greg Ward 8eef583025 Don't run "ranlib" if sysconfig's RANLIB (from Python's Makefile) starts
with ":".
2000-04-14 13:53:34 +00:00
Greg Ward 46b98e35fd Various wording/formattin tweaks.
Started spewing "Creating Built Distributions" section.
2000-04-14 01:53:36 +00:00
Greg Ward 1561ae13b6 Use 'get_python_inc()' to figure out the Python include directories
rather than cobbling them togethere here.
2000-04-14 00:50:49 +00:00
Greg Ward 2b9e43f8d0 Coerce all paths in the manifest template to the local path syntax with
'native_path()'.
2000-04-14 00:49:30 +00:00
Greg Ward 1c79330e64 Cleaned up use of sysconfig module a bit: don't import more names
than we actually use, and do actually use AR and SO.
Run ranlib on static libraries.  (Should probably have a platform-check
  so we don't run ranlib when it's not necessary, ie. on most modern
  Unices.)
2000-04-14 00:48:15 +00:00
Greg Ward b6f5adaa12 Don't bother reading config.h on NT or Mac OS. (It's not really needed
on Unix either, so should probably disappear entirely.)
2000-04-14 00:39:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 6d27c1eb32 Simplify creation of the version_info value for clarity, per
suggestion from Greg Stein.
2000-04-13 20:03:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 9cf7587fdc Update change to version_info structure. 2000-04-13 17:51:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 93a20bf87c Capitulate, changing version_info to a 5-tuple:
major, minor, micro, level, serial

Values are now monotonically increasing with each new release.
2000-04-13 17:44:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d65d73686 Document hexversion (incompletely explained) and version_info (easily
explained).
2000-04-13 16:54:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 801c08d700 Define version_info to be a tuple (major, minor, micro, level); level
is a string "a2", "b1", "c1", or '' for a final release.

Added version_info and hexversion to the module docstring.
2000-04-13 15:29:10 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3155db3b79 setup_confname_table(): Close memory leak caused by not decref'ing the
inserted dictionary values.  Also, simplified the logic a bit.
2000-04-13 15:20:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8deecedc6d Thomas Heller <thomas.heller@ion-tof.com>:
ihooks.ModuleLoader does not implement reload(mod) correctly:
If mod has already been loaded by ModuleLoader, it has
been returned from a cache. Added an additional parameter
to import_it() to force reloading.

Fred Drake 4e998bc658 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed problem with Unicode string concatenation:
u = (u"abc" u"abc") previously dumped core.
2000-04-13 14:10:44 +00:00
Fred Drake afe73a4687 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added test output for Unicode string concatenation test.
2000-04-13 14:10:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 078b24f000 When refering to Unicode characters in exception messages and
docstrings, the documentation guidelines call for "Unicode", not
"unicode".  Comply.

for the idea).
2000-04-12 14:20:15 +00:00
Greg Ward 822a86a955 Trying to placate Fred: redefine \tilde and \bslash; document everything.
Still some not-quite-standard definitions in here that I have to fix.
2000-04-12 01:44:35 +00:00
Greg Ward d5faa7ea08 Changed the table of per-platform default installation locations to be
more consistent with the rest of the Python docs.

Guido van Rossum 9144763aae Add weasel-words about versioning, so I don't have to check in a new
README for each new alpha release.
2000-04-11 17:11:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1c89b0eeef Deleted trailing whitespace. This is really a way to be able to add
a missing part of the previous checkin message:

Marc-Andre Lemburg:

Added encoding name attributes to wrapper classes which
allow applications to check the used encoding names.
2000-04-11 15:41:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 004d64f362 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Changed PyUnicode_Splitlines() maxsplit argument to keepends.
The maxsplit functionality was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.
2000-04-11 15:39:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f0b7b04ae8 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The maxsplit functionality in .splitlines() was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.

Added support for '%r' % obj: this inserts repr(obj) rather
than str(obj).
2000-04-11 15:39:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dc742b3184 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added a few missing whitespace Unicode char mappings.
Thanks to Brian Hooper.
2000-04-11 15:39:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 86662914be Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The maxsplit functionality in .splitlines() was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.
2000-04-11 15:38:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3afba7644b Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added special case to unicode(): when being passed a
Unicode object as first argument, return the object as-is.
Raises an exception when given a Unicode object *and* an
encoding name.
2000-04-11 15:38:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a3277139f1 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added .writelines(), .readlines() and .readline() to all
codec classes.
2000-04-11 15:37:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b28bc8cd05 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Modified .splitlines() tests according to the changes
in stringobject.c.
2000-04-11 15:37:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7ee801d6af Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Modified .splitlines() tests according to the changes
in unicodeobject.c.
2000-04-11 15:37:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e39a88fd58 Two more items. 2000-04-11 15:30:19 +00:00
Greg Ward 08c68fc82d LaTeX macros for the Distutils manuals.
Perhaps these should be added to the standard Python style file?
2000-04-11 02:01:52 +00:00
Greg Ward c392caa390 Spewed a bunch more verbiage.
Lots of scattered wording changes.
2000-04-11 02:00:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 36d4f8b0ec Correct fix by Mark Favas for the cast problems. 2000-04-10 21:34:37 +00:00
