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

at the start of the complete argument.

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
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right

Barry Warsaw ea66abc6e2 Cleaned up the examples. 2002-10-01 04:48:06 +00:00

branch.

from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192

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...
