instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.

Guido van Rossum c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in

conditional on HAVE_RINT.
2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 35784dff6a Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>:
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

information about the subject of the module.

buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.
2000-05-03 15:17:02 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d67ddbbec1 Eric Raymond:
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources.  Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename.  The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.

(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
2000-05-01 20:14:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 93a8eacde5 Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to the
previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is
utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
2000-05-01 16:18:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 40ee7acb95 \file and \filenq should not be used in section titles; they are not

2000-04-28 17:12:24 +00:00
Greg Ward e9792c4563 When building HTML releases, refer to */*.css and */*.html instead of

Greg Ward c392caa390 Spewed a bunch more verbiage.
Lots of scattered wording changes.

Fred Drake 7357770153 Yet another markup nit: functions that are part of the Python/C API
are still C functions, and should be marked.
2000-04-10 18:50:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 37f41565a8 PyErr_Format():
Remove statement that the return value is always NULL; this is
        generated by the formatting.
2000-04-10 18:46:22 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 98605b54b4 document PyErr_Format 2000-04-10 18:40:57 +00:00

2000-04-10 18:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake db2764d941 The reference count field for PyErr_NoMemory() and
PyErr_SetFromErrno() should be "null".
2000-04-10 18:25:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 5e872de6c7 If the refcount field is "null", that's ok; the value will be None. 2000-04-10 18:24:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 729eca1b9d For functions which return a PyObject* but use "null" for the
reference count field, state that the return value is always NULL.

2000-04-10 18:23:47 +00:00

Distutils manual.
2000-04-09 04:32:40 +00:00
Greg Ward 16aafcd85b Got started for real on this manual. Completely untested and unread -- just

2000-03-22 01:00:23 +00:00
Greg Ward 295765630a Third attempt at documenting an installation scheme; this one feels like
it could work--reasonably short and straightforward to document, but
flexible enough that it will be able to handle more than just modules
and extensions in the future.
2000-03-18 15:11:50 +00:00

2000-02-10 20:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 2bb43a20ce The dircmp module is now obsolete. 2000-02-03 15:27:26 +00:00

Fred Drake 645af9fedd rewrite_descriptor(): Fixup conversion of arguments (simpler).
join_adjacent_elements():  Hack to merge adjacent instances of
        <option>; the source \programopt with GNU-style long options
        created problems with LaTeX2HTML; this removes the evil
        workaround, which should never be necessary from structured
        documents(!).
1999-11-23 21:52:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a3b4495df Don't rename \var to <varname>; DocBook is too verbose here.
Do adopt DocBook's <command>, <option>, <envar> names for \program,
\programopt, \envvar.

Add \filenq --> <filename quote="no"> (it has to go somewhere, at
least for now).
1999-11-23 21:48:41 +00:00
Fred Drake d81b1b0ffa Set the date and version to reflect the actual status, not the last
released status.  Has to be changed just before publishing anyway.
1999-11-18 20:57:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d6bf0e544 When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some
oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values.  This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.
1999-11-18 20:56:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 7424242c1c Removed last XXX comment; no further action needed on this one. 1999-11-17 16:09:57 +00:00

Made var get renamed to varname (more like DocBook).
Other names should probably be changed as well; still waiting for the
DocBook book to arrive.

Fred Drake 7b8195a209 \programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the
text.  Looks like \program.

\citetitle:   New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the
              names of the Python manuals).  Accepts & discards an
              optional parameter that is only used by the HTML
              formatter.  Looks like \emph.
1999-11-09 17:02:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c9f5fe0d1c do_cmd_programopt(): New function, similar to do_cmd_program().
do_cmd_citetitle():  New function.  Extracts one optional and one
                     required parameter.  If the optional one is
                     provided, it is used a URL (or relative URL) and
                     the text of the required parameter is turned into
                     a hyperlink.

Fred Drake d6512808f0 Module/script to parse the reference count data file and make the
information accessible to Python.

When run as a script, just dumps the information back out in the data
format, with functions in sorted order and a blank line between
different functions.

Still need to apply the information somehow.
1999-10-20 21:50:31 +00:00

1999-09-24 13:51:19 +00:00

Fred Drake b35f2b7ef8 Remove some <SPAN> elements that were used only to carry a CLASS
attribute; stick the CLASS on an existing element.

Use a variable for the name of the file to get "About this
document..." text from.
1999-09-23 16:53:09 +00:00

1999-09-23 15:29:45 +00:00
Fred Drake d52879ccdc do_cmd_rfc(): Simplify the generated markup. 1999-09-22 19:58:51 +00:00

                directly.  Ensures warnings are also sent to the log
                file.

Job.log():  New method; write a message to the log file.  Use from
            .message() and .warning().
1999-09-22 19:55:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 191439ab6b Some updates to allow ../tools/mkhowto to add various bits to the
supplemental l2h initialization file it creates and still get all the
right behavior.  In particular, it can change the image type and icon
location and not get inconsistent results.

Some code to help suppress various navigational pages; this might be
interesting when generating HTML to create HTML Help documents, since
the navigation support creates confusing hits in the full text
search.  HTML Help also provides a lot of the navigational
infrastructure, so duplicating it makes it more tedious to use.

1999-09-16 15:50:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ba58158c5 Added "import string" to a couple of examples that describe string

1999-08-26 17:56:47 +00:00
