This directory contains the source to the Python documentation.
|
||||
This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
|
||||
The documentation is not all finished, but good enough to get you some
|
||||
idea of how to program in Python.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately it's not not very readable, complete or up-to-date yet --
|
||||
in other words, I'm still working on it!
|
||||
The following are the important latex source files:
|
||||
|
||||
There are four documents and a macro file:
|
||||
tut.tex tutorial
|
||||
mod.tex library reference
|
||||
|
||||
macros.ms macros .so'ed by the documents
|
||||
They both read the style option file "myformat.sty".
|
||||
|
||||
tut.ms informal tutorial
|
||||
mod.ms description of standard modules
|
||||
ref.ms Python language reference manual (embryonic)
|
||||
paper.ms conference paper about Python (embryonic)
|
||||
You can use the Makefile to format, preview and print the documents.
|
||||
Type "make tut" or "make mod" to preview either document with xdvi.
|
||||
Type "make print" to print them both (this only works if your print
|
||||
spooler is set up just like mine...), or "make all" to create postscript
|
||||
files that you can you can print using your local printing commands.
|
||||
Type "make clean" to get rid of all the intermediate files produced by
|
||||
the latex process.
|
||||
|
||||
XXX There should also be a man page (extracted from sec. 2 of the tutorial)
|
||||
|
||||
To typeset one of the documents on the default Postscript printer, chdir
|
||||
to this directory (otherwise the macros aren't found!) and issue the
|
||||
command
|
||||
|
||||
pstroff -ms file.ms
|
||||
|
||||
When typesetting all documents, issue a separate command for each.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the Makefile, at your own risk.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
You can just as well ignore the Makefile; all you really need is:
|
||||
latex tut
|
||||
latex tut
|
||||
dvips tut | lpr
|
||||
and similar for the "mod" document.
