Factor-out common calling code by simplifying the length_hint API.

Without the patch it can't find the pyconfig.h file inside a build tree.

The macro was already defined a few lines higher. * Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script * Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL). * Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL). * Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt. Are you fine with the changes, Martin? ........ r59400 | raymond.hettinger | 2007-12-07 02:53:01 +0100 (Fri, 07 Dec 2007) | 4 lines Don't have the docs berate themselves. Keep a professional tone.

Python Documentation README ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This directory contains the reStructuredText (reST) sources to the Python documentation. You don't need to build them yourself, prebuilt versions are available at http://docs.python.org/download/. Documentation on the authoring Python documentation, including information about both style and markup, is available in the "Documenting Python" chapter of the documentation. There's also a chapter intended to point out differences to those familiar with the previous docs written in LaTeX. Building the docs ================= You need to install Python 2.5.1 or higher (but Python 3.0 is not supported yet); the toolset used to build the docs are written in Python. The toolset used to build the documentation is called *Sphinx*, it is not included in this tree, but maintained separately in the Python Subversion repository. Also needed are Jinja, a templating engine (included in Sphinx as a Subversion external), and optionally Pygments, a code highlighter. Using make ---------- Luckily, a Makefile has been prepared so that on Unix, provided you have installed Python and Subversion, you can just run :: make html to check out the necessary toolset in the `tools/` subdirectory and build the HTML output files. To view the generated HTML, point your favorite browser at the top-level index `build/html/index.html` after running "make". To use a Python interpreter that's not called ``python``, use the standard way to set Makefile variables, using e.g. :: make html PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5 Available make targets are: * "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing. * "web", which builds files usable with the Sphinx.web application (used to serve the docs online at http://docs.python.org/). * "htmlhelp", which builds HTML files and a HTML Help project file usable to convert them into a single Compiled HTML (.chm) file -- these are popular under Microsoft Windows, but very handy on every platform. To create the CHM file, you need to run the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop over the generated project (.hhp) file. * "latex", which builds LaTeX source files that can be run with "pdflatex" to produce PDF documents. A "make update" updates the Subversion checkouts in `tools/`. Without make ------------ You'll need to checkout the Sphinx package to the `tools/` directory:: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/doctools/trunk/sphinx tools/sphinx Then, you need to install Docutils 0.4 (the SVN snapshot won't work), either by checking it out via :: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/docutils-0.4/docutils tools/docutils or by installing it from http://docutils.sf.net/. You can optionally also install Pygments, either as a checkout via :: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Pygments-0.9/pygments tools/pygments or from PyPI at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments. Then, make an output directory, e.g. under `build/`, and run :: python tools/sphinx-build.py -b<builder> . build/<outputdirectory> where `<builder>` is one of html, web or htmlhelp (for explanations see the make targets above). Contributing ============ For bugs in the content, the online version at http://docs.python.org/ has a "suggest change" facility that can be used to correct errors in the source text and submit them as a patch to the maintainers. Bugs in the toolset should be reported in the Python bug tracker at http://bugs.python.org/. You can also send a mail to the Python Documentation Team at docs@python.org, and we will process your request as soon as possible. If you want to help the Documentation Team, you are always welcome. Just send a mail to docs@python.org.
