Neil Schemenauer af4c5059d5 Remove code that tried to warn about shadowing builtin names after a
module had been compiled.  It gives too many spurious warnings.

Skip Montanaro bfa6872260 Zap the C API subsection altogether for now. It's not actually usable from
C yet anyway.

Andrew M. Kuchling 6c733d3711 Add mmap bugfix; typo and grammar fixes 2003-07-16 20:11:34 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2491cd98c4 expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Raymond Hettinger 4d6e8fe5d1 Clarify the lack of relationship between rich comparison operators.
Prompted by a discussion on comp.lang.python.

Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

Fred Drake 853276e16d Lots of markup cleanups to avoid warnings from the GNU info generation;
these make sense even without that processing chain.
2003-07-16 17:58:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 788617f8f0 Remove \versionchanged; the text was too complex for the GNU info
conversion to support.  Keep the content as normal content, with a
note that this applies starting in Python 2.3.

Jeremy Hylton f75d9fce16 Remove stray comments. 2003-07-16 16:17:57 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1c7a0ea056 Remove unnecessary check in tests for slots allowed.
The !PyType_Check(base) check snuck in as part of rev 2.215, but was
unrelated to the SF patch that is mentioned in the checkin comment.
The test is currently unnecessary because base is set to the return
value of best_bases(), which returns a type or NULL.

Fred Drake bd5fdd93a9 Make it easier to figure out the where a menuselection starts and ends
by controling the font.

Fred Drake a66b6c1267 Cygwin instructions:
- added missing period
- added markup so it's easier to tell which names are special
2003-07-16 13:50:28 +00:00
Andrew MacIntyre bac1ea937e More pre-2.3 build tweaks for the OS/2 EMX port:
- more clean up of the generated import library definiton (.DEF file)
  following checking of patch 770521, and tightening of the sed regexps.

- use -O3 even with gcc 2.8.1 - worth nearly 10% with 2.3; worth
  nothing with 2.2.x.

- clean up a couple of whitespace issues introduced by a cut'n'paste.
2003-07-16 13:31:11 +00:00
Fred Drake d24c767d5b A variety of markup-level adjustments. 2003-07-16 05:17:23 +00:00

Raymond Hettinger 43d790c087 Exercise Jim Fulton's new doctest extension for running doctests in a
unittest environment.  Since his extension finds docstrings in private
functions, it exposed a bug in the difflib doctests.
2003-07-16 04:34:56 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 83325e9087 Fix faulty doctests. There is no results attribute.
Note, these tests were not getting exercised because
doctest skips over private functions.

Fred Drake 6c85bcb2aa - update some comments
- add support for the "What's New" document
- add short aliases for individual documents; nice for debugging
  conversions

Mark Hammond bb4a47c818 Prevent failure on the mac, where "mbcs" is not the file system
encoding.  Use sys.getfilesystemencoding().

Fred Drake 850026308b Simple support for the alltt environment. 2003-07-16 03:35:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3605ae5966 In the description of enumerate(), the indexing operators should not
be included in the \var.  This produced weird results in general, but
broke the GNU info conversion.

Mark Hammond 5f4e8ca376 Correct previous patch looking for warnings module: sys.modules, not
sys.__modules__.

Raymond Hettinger b233e54409 Nits. 2003-07-15 23:16:01 +00:00
Mark Hammond edd07737d7 Fix [ 771097 ] frozen programs fail due to implicit import of "warnings".
If the initial import of warnings fails, clear the error.  When the module
is actually needed, if the original import failed, see if it has managed
to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.

Fred Drake d51ce7de97 Indexing is a mess; try to get the link targets closer to the relevant

Jeremy Hylton 42d90161e2 SF patch 763201: handling of SyntaxErrors in symbol table build
Bug fix candidate.
2003-07-15 20:24:27 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1955fcf67a SF patch 763201: handling of SyntaxErrors in symbol table build
Fixes for three related bugs, including errors that caused a script to
be ignored without printing an error message.  The key problem was a bad
interaction between syntax warnings and syntax errors.  If an
exception was already set when a warning was issued, the warning could
clobber the exception.

The PyErr_Occurred() check in issue_warning() isn't entirely
satisfying (the caller should know whether there was already an
error), but a better solution isn't immediately obvious.

Bug fix candidate.
