Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Fred Drake 9bbc933fcb Added information about the timeout parameter to the poll() method for

Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

Fred Drake e9af64c373 Remove superfluous index entry for posix.popen(); no longer
appropriate since popen() is only documented in os.

Fred Drake 3a0351cf85 Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere. 1998-04-04 07:23:21 +00:00
Fred Drake b401637bd8 Markup nits, index entries. 1998-04-02 18:44:38 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
