Fred Drake 6f75a364e8 normalize whitespace 2003-10-02 16:30:17 +00:00
Fred Drake a6008d08fa Make sure the trunk Makefile doesn't require mkhowto to be "installed" 
as described in "Documenting Python".
 2003-10-01 18:49:55 +00:00
Fred Drake efb3a161c3 Various minor updates in the description of mkhowto. 2003-10-01 04:15:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e3a27789a no longer assign into sys; "print chevron" is the way to go 2003-10-01 04:07:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 94b3463f7e We're long past worrying about Python versions older than 1.5.2; 
remove old compatibility definition of os.path.abspath().
 2003-10-01 04:03:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dc3bb4722 Work around minor markup issue: we don't want markup to escape into 
the module index.
 2003-09-30 20:00:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 292f5970ab Fix stupid style bug in a second place. 2003-09-30 15:43:20 +00:00
Fred Drake c504c20e5a Fix stupid style bug. 2003-09-30 15:40:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 1da0bba420 Update to match the version used to build the 2.3.2c1 documentation. 2003-09-29 17:26:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 69db2b967a - change computation of VERSION to use tools/getversioninfo; this is 
more reliable than using the $Revision$ expansion
- $RELEASE is no longer needed; we can just use $VERSION now
 2003-09-28 22:14:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 984920bbad Make the embedded hyperlinks work. 2003-09-28 19:03:36 +00:00
Fred Drake b36615d584 - update pkglist.html more frequently, and explain why that's helpful 
- add a comment explaining what pkglist.html is for
 2003-09-28 16:25:43 +00:00
Fred Drake f7a0d68708 Update the list of directories passed to py2texi.el. The ordering was 
wrong, and commontex/ needed to be added.
 2003-09-28 03:11:09 +00:00
Fred Drake d4956aac96 Make the "path math" more robust, and support both relative and 
absolute paths as input.
 2003-09-28 03:10:09 +00:00
Fred Drake c8083cf1cc Load the version information from ../Include/patchlevel.h, so there are 
fewer changes to make to version numbers after a release.
 2003-09-27 22:07:05 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 43b5e40795 * Fix markup. 
* Fix entry order:
  -  >>> before ...
  - __slots__ in the S section (like __future__ is in the F section)

Need to test the repaired(?) link to Guido's webpage.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.
 2003-09-27 20:19:02 +00:00
Thomas Heller 6122c12031 re.sub expands escape sequences in it's second argument. 
Will backport to 2.3 myself.
 2003-09-27 19:35:37 +00:00
Thomas Heller b7c95290de Typo: documnetation -> documentation 
Will backport to 2.3
 2003-09-27 19:32:04 +00:00
Fred Drake d4a1419f53 Lots of markup corrections. Some are minor, but others are not: the 
contents of an \item should not be enclosed in a group!
 2003-09-27 18:59:43 +00:00
Fred Drake cc2e48dd79 Make sure LaTeX2HTML's $TEXINPUTS variable is initialized to include 
directories identified in the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
I think this is the last part of the fix for the version number
problems seen in the documentation for the 2.3.1 release.
 2003-09-27 16:04:23 +00:00
Fred Drake e1b38c48fa update one more reference to a file that moved from texinputs/ to 
commontex/
 2003-09-27 07:48:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d86ea71b5 Adjust the organization a bit and update some of the comments to 
better explain what's happening.
 2003-09-27 07:37:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 2bc9b2fa2c add commontex/ to the list of directories described here 2003-09-27 07:18:52 +00:00
Fred Drake bac3f04000 point to the new location of the license information 2003-09-27 07:16:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 410825ac8b Move content input files shared among the documents into a new directory 
(commontex/), leaving only style support files in texinputs/.  This makes
texinputs/ part of the formatting tools while commontex/ is strictly part
of the actual documentation.
 2003-09-27 07:11:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ee37ff191 - use string methods 
- make TEXINPUTS work the way it's supposed to in TeX-ish tools
 2003-09-27 07:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake e395e2278c Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so 
that it works for all targets.

The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure).  We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.
 2003-09-27 05:52:16 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 463c5a868f Update get_param() description to reflect changes to the docstring. 2003-08-19 04:26:59 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py: 
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

Raymond Hettinger 7ceb29e4a5 Incorporate documentation suggestions from feedback on comp.lang.python. 
* Positive wording for the description of why < and > and = can all
  be False.

* Move to a three column table format that puts long method names
  side-by-side with their operator equivalents

* Mention that KeyError can be raised by Set.pop() and Set.remove().

* Minor tweaks to the examples.

Will backport as soon as Fred rebuilds the docs so I can confirm
the tables formatted properly

Martin v. Löwis cebcc61d4d Patch #781126: Fix markup for add_fallback. Will backport to 2.3. 2003-08-05 05:54:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d9c636faf init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or 
LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that
    contains no other content.  Since such an element is typically a
    named anchor used for hyperlinking, they should not be removed.
    Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
    direct way of avoiding this behavior.

Thanks to Dave Kuhlman for tracking this down; this was some excellent
detective work!
