Fred Drake 674e0fd7a8 Be more specific about where in RFC 1421 to look, since it's not at all 
obvious when taking a quick look.

Say "base64" instead of "base-64", since that seems to be how it's referred
to in other RFCs.

Fred Drake 6659c30b67 Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation 
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).

This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.

 1998-02-23 21:31:24 +00:00
Fred Drake a705da7aa0 Marked the unmarked AttributeError. (AMK)

Guido van Rossum 505d80b39d Jeff Kunce writes (and he is right): 
Also, I just ran across a [possible] minor glitch
in the library documentation for site.py. It says:

"For example, suppose sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix are set to `/usr/local'. The
Python 1.5 library is then installed in
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5'. Suppose this has a
subdirectory `/usr/local/python1.5/site-packages'
with three subsubdirectories, `foo', `bar' and
`spam'..."

I think it should be:
"...Suppose this has a subdirectory
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages' with..."

generation process.
 1998-02-19 15:09:35 +00:00
Fred Drake ea8006a865 \nodename{} must immediately follow \chapter{} to be handled correctly;

 1998-02-19 14:00:22 +00:00

 1998-02-19 00:28:58 +00:00

 1998-02-16 21:21:13 +00:00

Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this

a description.
 1998-02-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake fc931ecf92 In description of sound_similar(), break up the markup for long

Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long

 1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00

Fred Drake 7f6e2c45ec Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments 
in the running text.

For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.
 1998-02-13 14:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake b441eb84d3 Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments

everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

modules symbol and token.

Fred Drake 65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different 
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

variable and not a collection in the index.
 1998-02-06 22:19:23 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd. 
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
 1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative

sequence.
 1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00

Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals.  Same for the integer part
returned by modf().

Some markup consistency changes.
 1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00
Fred Drake ed79783bb2 Converted to use new macros. This example demonstrate \method{} and, more 
importantly, \url{}.
 1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 55f4492859 Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new

Fred Drake 1abf0df5b4 Simple documentation of the copy_reg module. 
Guido, you should probably look at this.  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
 1998-01-21 04:58:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d1cc9c2b92 Update comment about relative URL internet draft to reflect current RFC status;

 1998-01-20 05:52:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a46f84d293 Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in the 
normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
 1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 73a973bf8d Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in the

it already got it right.
 1998-01-20 04:40:41 +00:00
Fred Drake bac354cd80 Consistency: (Yes, I know this section is not formatted by default, and 
isn't likely to be of much interest these days....)

Added index entries for referred-to modules.

(In description of AbstractWriter class.)

 1998-01-12 15:38:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2c45a8197 Sigh. Apply a similar patch to the *other* occurrence of [^...]. 1998-01-12 05:49:05 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to 
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example

Fred Drake 0cf785a7a7 Grammatical nit. 1998-01-09 22:37:52 +00:00
Fred Drake cf7e830869 Add module reference for cPickle to index. 
Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.

Consistency:  Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.

Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP".  I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.
 1998-01-09 22:36:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 12d9da5827 Use \file{} instead of \code{} or ``\code{}'' to mark file & directory names

 1998-01-07 22:05:25 +00:00

Fred Drake c4586387f6 In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML 
version as well as the dvi form.  Without the fix, it showed up as an extra
zero character.

Bug reported by Hugh Sasse <hgs@dmu.ac.uk>.
 1998-01-06 15:46:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b1337d674 Add module index before the general index. 1998-01-02 02:59:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 875c807c92 In description of the group() method, fix markup of "\(" and "\)" literals; 
"\code{\\(}" produces "(" in the .dvi file and "<BR> (" in the latex2html
output (the font was right).  Changed to "\code{{\e}(}" variation, which
fixes both.  Breaks the .texi file generation again.  Oh well.
 1998-01-02 02:50:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1f35977bfd Added BaseHTTPServer to table of contents for chapter. 1997-12-30 23:42:27 +00:00

 1997-12-29 21:42:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 78f8e98232 Lots of minor nits that allow this file to get processed without failures by 
the info generation phases.  Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.

Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call.  It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
 1997-12-29 21:39:39 +00:00
Fred Drake a007c13094 Reduce warning count from partparse.py.

 1997-12-29 16:37:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c9df6636 Changed some \verb\...\ markup to the more common \code{...}. \verb\...\ is 
rarely needed and should be avoided where possible since it doesn't behave
well with some processing tools (like partparse.py).
 1997-12-29 15:55:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f96291ee2 Convert a couple of three-column tables with an empty third column to

(at least) some browsers.
 1997-12-23 04:21:20 +00:00
Fred Drake d665e8b5b0 Removed unnecessary \small{} block; latex2html got it wrong and its no 
longer needed for printed output.

Guido van Rossum e903aab833 Replace unprotected tilders by \~ -- an unprotected tilde is a 
non-breaking space!
 1997-12-18 16:28:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b2c6ef83f4 Change {\em ...} to \emph{...}; this seems to be the developing preference 
throughout the manuals, and seems easier to read.

undocumented (it has been).
 1997-12-16 15:19:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e0799817e The \indexsubitem definition for the actual exceptions did not actually

 1997-12-16 14:54:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 9d2f7d414d Oops, ".pythonrc.py" should *always* be marked with \file{}; one occurrance

Guido van Rossum c0cc6351e5 regex -> re 1997-12-15 17:53:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 095f35ad60 Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt HTMLParser} method) to just

Guido van Rossum 736fe5e918 Document binary format and __init__-free unpickling. Added a pointer 
to cPickle.

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

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

 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

wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing

Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.

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

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 
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.

to use the same, better words to explain start/end.
