for the idea).
 2000-04-12 14:20:15 +00:00
Greg Ward 822a86a955 Trying to placate Fred: redefine \tilde and \bslash; document everything. 
Still some not-quite-standard definitions in here that I have to fix.
 2000-04-12 01:44:35 +00:00
Greg Ward d5faa7ea08 Changed the table of per-platform default installation locations to be 
more consistent with the rest of the Python docs.
 2000-04-12 01:42:19 +00:00
Fred Drake ee775a194c Make use of \longprogramopt where appropriate. 2000-04-11 19:46:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 2b85341776 Elaborate descriptions of \e, \module. 
Describe policy on vertical lines in tables.
 2000-04-11 19:08:30 +00:00
Fred Drake ce44498ba8 Revise the description of \programopt, document \longprogramopt. 2000-04-11 18:52:52 +00:00

Greg Ward 08c68fc82d LaTeX macros for the Distutils manuals. 
Perhaps these should be added to the standard Python style file?
 2000-04-11 02:01:52 +00:00
Greg Ward c392caa390 Spewed a bunch more verbiage. 
Lots of scattered wording changes.
 2000-04-11 02:00:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 8520cc2328 Added reference count information for Py_FindMethod(). 2000-04-10 19:38:24 +00:00
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
Fred Drake 0682be4524 letters: 
Fix description; lowercase and uppercase are strings, not

maketrans():
        Minor markup nits in description.
 2000-04-10 18:35:49 +00:00

PyObject* values.
 2000-04-10 18:29:21 +00:00
Fred Drake c2578c5bb6 load_refcounts(), 
do_env_cfuncdesc():  Support the "null" value for the refcounts field
        in refcounts.dat.
 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.

(Useful for some PyErr_*() flavors.)
 2000-04-10 18:23:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a863da1f8 cfuncdesc environment: 
When processing the optional parameter, don't append any text;
        let the pre-processor supply all of it.

Greg Ward facb8dbaeb Fixed so LaTeX can actually process it, and so it looks like the other 
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
