Fred Drake 5e31c3f768 Fix markup for tilde in URL. 2002-10-18 18:16:19 +00:00
Fred Drake d8eeeae4a6 Fix reference to the Fetchmail FAQ:
- URL was missing an "m"
- markup for tilde was wrong
- URL was marked as the title
- actual title was omitted

"make webcheck" didn't catch this; not sure why.

Removed some spurious end-of-line whitespace.

Neal Norwitz d7bc0fec38 Try to fix the broken links caused by multiple \ref on the same line.
SF bug #217195.
Not sure if chomp() is correct, but chop() definitely has problems.
This change seems to have no ill effects.

Backport candidate if Fred agrees.

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.

Barry Warsaw dd868d32e0 nits 2002-10-01 15:29:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 73ec98357e Include the --dir argument in the help text. 2002-10-01 15:24:03 +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.

Fred Drake 6516e14968 Minor style nit for referring to other attributes of the same class
from an attributes description.
2002-10-01 14:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake fcc31b44d2 Split the long email package examples into separate files and use
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right
thing" regarding page breaks in long examples for the typeset formats, and
has nice benefits for the HTML version as well.
2002-10-01 14:17:10 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ea66abc6e2 Cleaned up the examples. 2002-10-01 04:48:06 +00:00

Fred Drake c1ddc505d9 Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.

This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00

Walter Dörwald 5ccaf8f129 Apply diff3.txt (plus additional documentation)
from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192

This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.
2002-09-06 16:15:58 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933.
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...
2002-08-30 13:09:51 +00:00
Skip Montanaro ee113f08f8 add warning about exception messages 2002-08-28 01:14:57 +00:00

an error message and not just the missing name.

Fred Drake 246beb2526 Don't use tempfile.mktemp(), since it produces annoying warnings, and
usually isn't what we want anyway.
2002-08-27 16:34:54 +00:00
Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ad09552d0 Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script.
Closes SF bug 599681.
2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.
