to the string module. This was determined to be the right approach in
SF bug #226706 .

Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and

Bump the release number.
...
Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611 .
Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.
2001-07-17 16:53:19 +00:00
16649a803b
Make the syntax for compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
...
This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is
being done mostly to keep the style consistent with additional patches
that will be applied to Doc/Makefile.

Script to re-write @FOO@-style marks with values, initializing the
...
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611 , but does
not use the suggested patch.

Updated the documentation in several respects:

- This module, despite its name, now should conform to RFC 2822, the
update to RFC 822.
- This module doesn't just represent "email headers", but entire email
messages.
- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().

First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,

documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and

not being initialized.
This fixes SF bug #439012 .
Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().
Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and

This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037 .
Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.
Document _Py_NoneStruct.
Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.
Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
