Tim Peters b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher 
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Barry Warsaw cfb30e23d1 build(): Use self.builddir, not self.doc when copying the icons, so 
they'll end up in the right directory when --dir is used.
 2002-10-01 15:38:01 +00:00
Fred Drake c0e066a7b8 When the HTML output dir is specified using --dir=~/foo, the tilde 
needs to be expanded by mkhowto, since the shell won't touch it except
at the start of the complete argument.
 2002-10-01 15:30:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dd868d32e0 nits 2002-10-01 15:29:09 +00:00

Fred Drake 15a159c231 Change the default path to icons so that "mkhowto" does the "right thing" by 
default when used for 3rd-party docs.  This requires the standard Python docs
to specify a location, but they are a bit of a special case in sharing one set
of icons among several documents.

 2002-10-01 14:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake fcc31b44d2 Split the long email package examples into separate files and use
