Guido van Rossum a42c17851c Turn the table for flags into a nested itemized environment. 1997-12-09 20:41:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eefcba61f4 Fix a little mess (Likecode{...} -> Like \code{...}) in recently added text. 1997-12-09 19:47:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8291bb3693 Reference to PYTHONPATH should be PYTHONSTARTUP. 1997-12-09 19:46:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28f9a68deb Added note about the module's obsolescence. 1997-12-09 19:45:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 138dac5a1b Added more warnings about ni's demise. 1997-12-09 15:03:41 +00:00
Fred Drake a2e268aa40 Mark file names with \file{} instead of \code{}. 1997-12-09 03:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake c5aec05967 Separated the definitions of ntohs(), ntohl(), htons(), htonl(). Separate 
descriptions really make things look a bit better, and should improve the
ability to re-purpose the content.
 1997-12-08 21:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0b334104ac New version from AMK -- with minor corrections to make it legal latex. 1997-12-08 17:33:40 +00:00
Fred Drake f3d729c8f9 Fixed SFT #23842: leave in non-standard style options when checking in an 
update.  ;-(
 1997-12-08 15:48:35 +00:00
Fred Drake e907208b30 Some reorganization (all limit operations & constants together, and all usage 
functions and constants together).

Make explicit datadesc sections for each of the constants which might appear,
and have a description of each.  (Descriptions are based on the Linux
documentation and sources and the Solaris man pages.)

Hopefully Jeremy won't mind, because I didn't ask.  ;-)
 1997-12-06 07:25:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d3b4f8beb Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed. 
Remove spurious underscore following book title.  Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.

Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
 1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 98b032a7c0 Removed unnecessary escaping. 1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cf87496a6 Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job. 
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.

Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
 1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7381e28399 Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left 
shift.

Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
 1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c2297c1ce9 Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere. 
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.

Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.
 1997-12-04 04:45:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab76af3d65 Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro). 1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 456035f4b1 The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions 
to use the opcodedesc environment.

Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.

Fixed a typo:  "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent.  Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me.  It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project.  Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.
 1997-12-03 04:06:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 240ddc8a68 Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart. 1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00

Fred Drake 798654fc68 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing 
the documentation here.
 1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally 
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
 1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied 
to get the actual prompt).
 1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation; 
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
 1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f259efe3d9 Get rid of math mode in some places. 1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module. 
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
 1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the

using a function repl.
 1997-11-20 00:15:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 828a0bdb1d count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find

Guido van Rossum 3cdb8f3286 Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which 
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module().  Added the new module type constants.  Declare that

obsolete.
 1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 593801142e Initial revision 1997-09-07 02:56:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f01dff7e93 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and 
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.
 1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28cad964ec Document newly revamped site configuration mechanism. 
Damn the criticism in c.l.p!

Added example of saferepr() result.
