Guido van Rossum a0eaa2200c Some manipulations with tags to get the TOC and Index to look better 1997-12-06 00:39:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e396cf9ff New WML file, this time with working Title and Author tags, and 
mapping chapter and section headings to more appropriate nodes so that
the TOC actually works.  Now generates one HTML page per chapter.
 1997-12-06 00:38:30 +00:00
Fred Drake eee08cdd54 Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation. 
Use \file{} for file names.

Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.

Made the example startup banner current.  The version number should be
bumped before the next release.
 1997-12-04 15:43:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d3b4f8beb Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed. 
Remove spurious underscore following book title.  Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.

Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
 1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 98b032a7c0 Removed unnecessary escaping. 1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cf87496a6 Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job. 
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.

Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
 1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7381e28399 Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left 
shift.

Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
 1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c2297c1ce9 Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere. 
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.

Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.
 1997-12-04 04:45:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 7c4cba8325 Added handler for opcodedesc environment. 
Fixed weird index behavior.
 1997-12-03 19:45:08 +00:00
Fred Drake f2d7e5528d make_str_index_entry(): New function. Similar to make_index_entry(), but 
includes the string in the returned value instead of the dummy
	filler character.

add_idx():  Override the latex2html function of the same name; this gets
	the anchor properly embedded in the <dt> element, so the index
	works in Grail too.
 1997-12-03 19:44:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab76af3d65 Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro). 1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 456035f4b1 The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions 
to use the opcodedesc environment.

Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.

Fixed a typo:  "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent.  Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me.  It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project.  Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.
 1997-12-03 04:06:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a610f9f8c1 Added environment for defining PyVM instructions. This is only used in 
the libdis.tex file I'm about to check in.

I'm not sure this is really an optimal solution yet, but it may be the best
alternative.  It avoids describing the instructions as either data items or
functions.

This change was discussed with Guido.  (Guido:  Take a look at the LaTeX
output for this; if this is reasonable I'll go ahead and update the perl
code in myformat.perl to match.)
 1997-12-03 03:42:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 240ddc8a68 Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart. 1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3593e5c4c3 Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object. 1997-12-02 19:15:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0f280b6099 Use $LOGNAME instead of $USER to get the current user -- it seems to 
be the state of the art.
 1997-12-01 18:50:09 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 433c8ca328 Removed Queue.py. It's documented now. 1997-12-01 16:35:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 798654fc68 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing 
the documentation here.
 1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally 
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
 1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 330c660f66 The dependency of tarhtml on l2h was a bad idea. 1997-11-26 15:31:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied 
to get the actual prompt).
 1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 84cca446f2 Added utility target tarhtml to tar and gzip the HTML files plus their 
support (GIFS, icons, style sheets).
 1997-11-25 20:49:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28fbe4dcd2 Adding the icons used by latex2html output to the CVS tree. 1997-11-25 20:14:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 628b4085b5 Ignore html files generated by webmaker. 1997-11-25 20:10:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 000eb0a138 Augmented the script so that (at CNRI anyway) it also invokes webmaker 
to create the HTML.
 1997-11-25 20:10:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4323f7c7fd Simple index for the reference manuals (mostly for use on the Windows 
platform).
 1997-11-25 18:27:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 71ace95e12 Updated to the most pressing 1.5 issues. 1997-11-25 18:20:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 580aa8dbc3 Several changes, e.g. restructuring of the intro to be closer to what 
it ought to be.  Maybe the last checkin before 1.5b1 is released.
 1997-11-25 15:34:51 +00:00
Fred Drake cb91e7bbd3 Added the "italic correction" command ("\/") to the list of ignored commands. 
There is at least one of there in the library reference, and this reduces
the warning count.  We *do* know what to do with it!
 1997-11-25 04:06:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation; 
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
 1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f259efe3d9 Get rid of math mode in some places. 1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00

 1997-11-20 21:03:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module. 
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
 1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the 
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.
 1997-11-20 00:15:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 9d37a4d332 Small wording change about global and local trace functions. 1997-10-27 19:57:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 040e565261 Ooops, found too more references to old conditions on floating point values. 1997-10-24 21:15:55 +00:00
Fred Drake ae18e9fc1c Removed obsolete discussion on _xdr helper module. 1997-10-24 21:14:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d7dc2eb708 Put {} around \^ in sets to force latex2html to do the right thing... 1997-10-22 03:03:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 828a0bdb1d count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find 
to use the same, better words to explain start/end.
 1997-10-20 22:40:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 871cf161f1 Documented exc_info(); also updated exc_type and last_type docs. 1997-10-20 22:38:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python" 
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
 1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 2950b2d881 Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the math 
module documentation.
 1997-10-13 22:06:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dcc5a94c5 Add support for ctypedesc, cvardesc, seealso, seemodule, seetext. 
This seems to take care of everything but tables and equations.
 1997-10-13 22:04:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 7cd60442b4 Remove macpath entry -- it is already documented. 1997-10-13 22:02:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 5451d67dd9 socket_type ==> SocketType 1997-10-13 21:31:02 +00:00

"not in" operator.
 1997-10-13 20:48:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 36fbe76a45 struct _frozen: 
Use spaces instead of tabs to indent structure definition; tabs don't
	work in tex/latex.

PyImport_FrozenModules:
	struct _freeze ==> struct _frozen
 1997-10-13 18:18:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cd7ecb10b The sequence behavior is now on the Exception root class rather than 
on the StandardError class.
 1997-10-07 14:41:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fdacc58bfe Added pointer to api.tex and note about the out-of-date-ness of this 
document.
 1997-10-07 14:40:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 18b0db3b53 Set Oct 10 as the release date. 1997-10-07 14:39:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9faf4c57b0 Change title to {Python/C API Reference Manual}; remove \bcode \ecode 
which appears to be out of fashion in this file.
 1997-10-07 14:38:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 6f2a26d42b And "ni" has been documented... 1997-10-06 21:53:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 2df75832b3 Oops; don't know if this was my typo or not: There was a "p" on a line that 
should have been blank.
 1997-10-06 21:52:31 +00:00
Fred Drake c211254334 Updated the section "Parsing Python". 1997-10-06 21:41:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 14bf341f16 Added keyword module entry. 1997-10-06 21:40:48 +00:00
Fred Drake e061a51de1 Minor nits (Lib/token.py is a file, token is a module...). 
Added docs for symbol and token modules at the end.
 1997-10-06 21:40:20 +00:00
Fred Drake db12f343bc Documentation for the keyword module. 1997-10-06 21:39:16 +00:00

Fred Drake 04ac894189 Add the four latex2html output directories: api, ext, lib, tut. 1997-10-06 13:20:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c44d3d6664 Done with tread state descriptions. Sigh! 1997-10-06 05:10:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0bfd146594 Added strerror() 1997-10-05 18:54:52 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3cdb8f3286 Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which 
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module().  Added the new module type constants.  Declare that
SEARCH_ERROR and a whole bunch of module-type-specific functions are
obsolete.
 1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9cf4e2bde7 Change packages to site-packages (so it's clearly not a package itself). 1997-09-08 02:02:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 16221126d6 Added warning about ni's obsolescence. Retracted semantic changes 
(i.e. when using ni, the old __init__.py semantics prevail!)
 1997-09-07 03:02:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 593801142e Initial revision 1997-09-07 02:56:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f01dff7e93 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and 
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.
 1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28cad964ec Document newly revamped site configuration mechanism. 
Damn the criticism in c.l.p!
 1997-08-30 20:03:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 36764b8b0e Added docs for 'user' customization module. Renamed libuser.tex 
(which had UserDict/UserList) to libuserdict.tex.
 1997-08-30 20:02:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2afc811c2 Added os.altsep; this is '/' on DOS/Windows, and None on systems with 
a sane filename syntax.
 1997-08-29 22:37:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 282290f821 Referred to POSIX docs as well as to Unix docs. 1997-08-27 14:54:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e20aef574a Ignore whitespace between formats (not internal to a count+format). 1997-08-26 20:39:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 81e479a11f Removed some colons that shouldn't be there (probably leftovers from 
docstring conversion).
 1997-08-25 18:28:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 5de31fc094 Oops, don't suppress echo of the rm command in l2hclean! 1997-08-22 18:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 03ff6f7474 Simplify LaTeX2HTML targets && support re-use of output directories (which 
saves re-generation of images).

Add l2hclean target.
 1997-08-22 18:18:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 289f97d0ea Changed description of SchedParams() in the following way: 
\bar{Besocial} --> \var{besocial}
	     ^--- note case ----^

The fixed version matches the signature.  Changed "\bar{Besocial} gives ..."
to "The \var{besocial} flag gives ..." to keep from starting the sentence
with a lowercase token.

(The \bar{} --> \var{} change was required to keep LaTeX happy.)
 1997-08-22 13:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 2999607e59 Added missing "\end{funcdesc}" after FindFolder documentation. 1997-08-22 13:45:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum e229d8636d Misc Mac mods by Jack. Added libmacic.tex, and these patches: 
libmacfs.tex	Document NewAliasMinimalFromFullPath
libmacos.tex	Document SetEventHandler and SchedParams
libmacui.tex	Document asynchronous event handling
libmailbox.tex	Removed mime-turds that somehow got in here
 1997-08-18 15:14:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5060b3be9b Consistently change Python-C API to Python/C API; added lots of new

examples.
 1997-08-17 18:02:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b235d9e673 Tweaked all l2h targets to remove the target directory before renaming

 1997-08-14 19:51:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8f06247b51 Added buffer_info() docs. 1997-08-14 19:50:37 +00:00

Guido van Rossum fcaf26e245 Documented mime_decode_header() and mime_encode_header(). 1997-08-14 14:13:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9c43c590bc More emphasis on os.environ's calling of putenv; and added hint about

 1996-12-06 18:45:30 +00:00
Fred Drake f1e6707ea6 (Makefile): Rip out old partparse.py / texi2html.py stuff -- use latex2html

 1996-12-06 14:50:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 9abe64a395 (libparser.tex): Added note that the line number for a terminal token 
indicates the line on which the token ends rather than starts
	(a side effect of interpreting the parse tree nodes directly).
	Maybe I'll fix this for Python 2.0.
 1996-12-05 22:28:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 102dc417bf Describe the new Unpacker.get_buffer() method. 1996-12-04 22:05:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bda7ca7772 Added [nh]to[hn][sl](). 1996-12-02 17:24:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dde9c2c1d2 Added .ilg (makeindex logfile) 1996-11-27 19:54:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4745a274a5 Added some more turd files we can't avoid: .MIF, .ps, .auto. 1996-11-27 19:52:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd612d5e5c Webmaker instructions 1996-11-27 19:51:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 558c09e4c1 Script to write MIF files from ref*.{book,doc} 1996-11-27 19:50:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 3e1fe89a0d (myformat.perl): Fixed handling of "\e" -- argh! 1996-11-11 23:03:36 +00:00
Fred Drake b4d4e25a62 (Makefile): Updated comments about using LaTeX2HTML for the library 
reference.  Made the extension to the input files for makeindex
	explicit; if not made explicit a directory of the given base
	name can cause makeindex to blow up.  Specifically, if there is
	a directory ./lib/ created by LaTeX2HTML, "makeindex lib" will
	fail, but "makeindex lib.idx" will not.

	l2h{tut,ext,lib} are now dependent on myformat.perl.

	l2h adds ls2lib and removes the non-existant l2href.
 1996-11-11 21:03:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 4464022799 (myformat.perl): Simplify generated HTML for "\optional{...}". 1996-11-11 20:51:09 +00:00
Fred Drake b33021b572 (fix_libaux.sed): Hackish little sed script to modify lib.aux to get section 
numbers right for latex2html for section titles which include
	"\sectcode{__.*__}" in the name.  Perhaps less general than it should
	be, but sufficient.
 1996-11-11 20:49:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 784c6d3684 (.latex2html-init): Perform some limited setup for the reference manuals; 
some defaults are set here, but mostly this allows the "\," command
	to be used the way it is in the Python documentation.

	All future documentation should probably be written with only ","
	in the argument lists and not "\,".
 1996-11-11 20:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 9b550d992a (myformat.sty): Simplify \varvars definition. 1996-11-11 20:43:46 +00:00
Fred Drake c384d7560e (myformat.perl): Updated to allow library reference manual to be handled by 
latex2html.  Mostly added support for custom environments and some
	of the smaller commands used in the library reference (\e, \optional).
 1996-11-11 16:04:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b54f4dea73 Added 'Introduction' section head and 'Memory Management' subsection. 1996-11-06 15:47:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 76e47f3d75 Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-( 1996-11-02 17:05:21 +00:00
Fred Drake f93f101450 (Makefile): Updated latex2html support. 1996-10-29 16:07:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a7480dc84 (myformat.perl): Added handler for cfuncdesc environment. This is needed 
for the extending & embedding manual.
 1996-10-29 15:56:57 +00:00
Fred Drake eb33c781f3 (myformat.sty, extref.tex): Moved definition of cfuncdesc environment to 
myformat.sty; having it in extref.tex confuses LaTeX2HTML.
 1996-10-29 15:55:08 +00:00
Fred Drake fd255e433f (tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command 
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting).  The latest
	LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected.  This
	handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
 1996-10-29 15:50:05 +00:00
Fred Drake abcb38250b (texi2html.py): Minor improvement to HTML 3.0 output for code examples. 1996-10-25 22:13:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 893e5e0a15 (partparse.py): Fix nasty bug where \e got translated to @e only within 
the optional arg of an \item[].
