Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and

Bump the release number.

Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611 .
Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.
2001-07-17 16:53:19 +00:00
16649a803b
Make the syntax for compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).

This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is

Script to re-write @FOO@-style marks with values, initializing the
...
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611 , but does
not use the suggested patch.

- This module doesn't just represent "email headers", but entire email
messages.
- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().

First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,

This fixes SF bug #439012 .
Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().
Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and

Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.

Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.
