from right to left!

Closes bug #125391.
2000-12-11 22:39:24 +00:00
Fred Drake ed911b8cfb Added link to HTML version of the NumPy documentation.
This closes bug #124943.
2000-12-11 20:57:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.
2000-12-11 15:50:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 9a29dd6580 Lots of small improvements and bits of added information on the DOM API. 2000-12-08 06:54:51 +00:00
Fred Drake c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
2000-12-07 04:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c47559352 Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should only
implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.
2000-12-07 04:49:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 16942f2224 Lots of additional information. Not done, but much better. 2000-12-07 04:47:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c12ee866b Another name! 2000-12-07 00:06:46 +00:00
Fred Drake fd4d29cf5d Typo caught by Jim Tittsler <jwt@onjapan.net>: They --> The 2000-12-07 00:03:24 +00:00
Fred Drake b62966c175 Note that, as of Python 1.6, the .returns_unicode attribute on parser
objects can be modified at any point with the expected results.
2000-12-07 00:00:21 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b6a54d2a2c _getframe(): New sys module function for getting at the stack frame.
Implements and closes SF patch #102106, with Guido's suggested
documentation changes.
2000-12-06 21:47:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 21e4dd0492 Two typos caught by /F; thanks! 2000-12-04 22:29:17 +00:00
Fred Drake e119c8fc61 Added a comment for ContentHandler.characters() explaining how to migrate
SAX1 code to SAX2, based on bug #123695.
2000-12-04 22:04:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 57657bce94 Update Moshe Zadka's email address to one works and might last a while. 2000-12-01 15:25:23 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 5725d1eb03 Backing out my changes.
Improved version coming soon to a Source Forge near you!
2000-11-30 19:30:21 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 1a62750eda Added .first{item,value,key}() to dictionaries.
Complete with docos and tests.
OKed by Guido.
2000-11-30 12:31:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 827bb9fb3c Adjust to allow an explanation of the changes to be included in the
notification message.
2000-11-30 07:38:59 +00:00
Fred Drake e463f8e4cd A few small refinements to the table building code. 2000-11-30 07:17:27 +00:00
Fred Drake c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary;
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.
2000-11-30 07:12:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 1aaf5855f7 Added name. 2000-11-30 07:09:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b3f3f2861 In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the
Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code.  Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

This closes bug #123398.
2000-11-29 15:48:22 +00:00
Fred Drake f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.
2000-11-29 06:10:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a6f1df48c Fix broken backslashes in Unicode strings section.
This closes bug #123730.
2000-11-29 06:03:45 +00:00
Tim Peters 657ebef2ae Partial fix for SF bug 123730: extra backslash in tutorial. 2000-11-29 05:51:59 +00:00
Fred Drake ee814bf2c9 Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions. 2000-11-28 22:34:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO
modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.
2000-11-28 16:24:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a0ef8696b Use a subclass of buildindex.Node to clean up the HTML and get the
ordering fixed up (this makes sure that "xml.dom" comes before
"xml.dom.minidom" in the Module Index, which was not true before because
some HTML cruft crept into the data structures).
2000-11-28 16:20:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 6763b31731 Added brief explanation of the \versionchanged for 1.5.2 (fixes formatting
for the HTML version).
2000-11-28 06:39:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 2fef3abc74 Two minor nits. 2000-11-28 06:38:22 +00:00
Fred Drake b7a52c9de3 Minor typo: \subsubsections --> \subsubsection 2000-11-27 20:10:18 +00:00
Tim Peters c113465a49 SF non-bug 123520: fleshed out the tutorial's lambda example a little more. 2000-11-27 06:38:04 +00:00
Fred Drake fed0d09075 Conversion.write_ordinal(): Not used, remove it. 2000-11-22 17:59:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 691a5a7c09 Convert the LaTeX "tie" (~) to a simple space.
Add support for some combining characters.

Remove unnecessary imports and dependencies on PyXML and esistools.
2000-11-22 17:56:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 382a75d0e9 Update to reflect the process changes.
Remove the SGML aspects; there's too much XML momentum to worry about
the SGML flavor at this point.
2000-11-22 16:58:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 97be740cd8 Update the rules to separate the two phases for the ESIS generation,
entirely so that debugging can be performed independently.
2000-11-22 16:54:20 +00:00
Fred Drake d397f236d5 Add support for (relatively) recent additions and changes to python.sty,
and one more standard LaTeX macro.
2000-11-22 16:45:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ac000cd54 Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process. 2000-11-22 16:42:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 78489a362e Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeX
sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it.
Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
2000-11-22 16:06:16 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 620ec9d1ca Document the new setupterm() function 2000-11-18 17:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.
2000-11-17 19:44:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 977fe96a05 Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, and
breaks things.
2000-11-17 19:09:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake aa126e1e21 Corrected a number of typos reported by Gilles Civario

Andrew M. Kuchling f16e0ed76c Patch #102278: add tparm() function to _curses module 2000-11-07 03:35:24 +00:00
Fred Drake a776cea71a Document the proper exception to be raised by I/O operations on closed
files; error reported by Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com>.

Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.
2000-11-06 20:17:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dce7b3737 Make sure we clean up the index data each time it is written by LaTeX. 2000-11-03 02:57:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 4bc0aed3a6 Fix cut & paste error that describes three paramters when there are only
two [bug #119729].

[bug #119645].
2000-11-02 21:49:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 19647ca318 Typo: writeable --> writable
Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
2000-11-01 03:12:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 5942b439b3 define_module(): Change the "index sub-item" for definitions at module
scope to be " (in module <name>)" instead of
                  " (in <name>)" to be consistent with \withsubitem
                  usage throughout the documentation.  This achieves
                  consistency in indexing throughout the documentation.
2000-10-30 06:24:56 +00:00
Fred Drake ec77e6590d Fix \withsubitem so that it actually works if the only indexing macro in
the content body is the \ttindex macro, which seems to match actual usage.

Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be
" (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)".  This is need to match
uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation.  (Not ideal, but
gets achieves consistency.)
2000-10-30 06:22:22 +00:00
Fred Drake d34cfcb4c7 Revise the message to be a little nicer.
Have the mail sent to the python-dev and Doc-SIG lists.
2000-10-29 13:21:45 +00:00
Fred Drake a33c566138 Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not proven
to be very robust.  Using \index directly fixes a lot of entries in the
index that had to be specifically read to determine that they had the
wrong parenthesized description.
2000-10-29 05:19:16 +00:00
Fred Drake efffe8e317 Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere,
and to provide more consistent indexing.

Added an index entry.

Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
2000-10-29 05:10:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 8fdb6383dc Update author information. 2000-10-28 04:08:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aecfc9681 Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from the
basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>.

This closes bug #119485.
2000-10-26 21:38:23 +00:00

Fred Drake 351960de94 Normalize the HTML generated for table headers. 2000-10-26 20:14:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c7fc77d22 Minor simplification. 2000-10-26 20:01:09 +00:00
Fred Drake ca92eeba6f Update the dependency information to allow the other Makefiles to handle
as much of this as possible.  Avoids propogating information about how
various outputs relate (or don't!).
2000-10-26 19:26:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 956698819f Noted that building the info version requires the HTML::Element package,
and provided instructions for getting it installed.
2000-10-26 19:01:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 585698aa59 All acknowledgements have been moved to the Doc/ACKS file.
Adjusted to reflect the rename of Setup.in to Setup.dist.

Added pointer to the "Distributing Python Modules" manual in the
appropriate place.
2000-10-26 17:19:58 +00:00
Fred Drake eff9a87fcc Lots of small markup adjustments for consistency with the rest of the
documentation.
2000-10-26 16:41:03 +00:00
Fred Drake bce920129c Typo: shorted --> shorter
This closes bug #117706.
2000-10-25 23:22:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dba66cb72 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string method
was added in 2.0.
2000-10-25 21:03:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 8940fafabd Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documenting
getdefaultencoding() and setdefaultencoding().
2000-10-25 21:02:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 1491cace2a Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre Lemburg
<mal@lemburg.com>.

2000-10-25 20:59:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 7497bd3e3d Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for
whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python.  (These tools are
also used for the How-To documents, etc.)


get_version_text():  New function.  Returns HTML fragment describing the
        software version and documentation date.

bot_navigation_panel():  Include the result of get_version_text() at the
        end, so the information is available on every page.
2000-10-25 16:18:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d04592a46b Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number for

will be added to Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl shortly.
2000-10-25 16:10:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7ceab739d0 Make this actually work now that the tool is checked in here instead of
just sitting around in my working directory.
2000-10-24 19:59:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 277a21150b Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module. 2000-10-24 02:35:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 669d36f02c Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>:
Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API.

FLD:  I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor
details to Paul's text, but that's it.  Given the substantial
structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be
making additional revisions over the next few days.
2000-10-24 02:34:45 +00:00
Fred Drake f61eac425a Remove second horizontal line below table headers; it is just too
distracting.
2000-10-24 02:18:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 8902442e2f Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()
and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using
PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n).

This closes bug #117377.

Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of
them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL.

"de-allocated" --> "deallocated"
2000-10-23 16:00:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 246f65f2bb Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()
function.

Python documentation.
2000-10-19 05:54:51 +00:00

\see* explanation fields.

Added a lot of material to the "LaTeX Primer" section.

Fred Drake 89fb035248 For PyErr_Format(), note that the exception parameter can be a string or
class, but not an instance (since an instance will be created using the
formatted message string as the constructor parameter).

Andrew M. Kuchling ec1722e8d4 Various minor additions and clarifications, mostly suggested by Jeremy 2000-10-12 03:04:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 7486c6b0ef Comment out a separator line, since all the others are commented out,
and it would look kind of silly if typeset.
2000-10-12 02:49:12 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 6032c48b47 Add new section on the XML package. (This was the only major new 2.0 feature
left that wasn't covered.  The article is therefore now essentially complete.)
A few minor changes
2000-10-12 02:37:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 93615657ec Document the exceptions that now get raised on invalid parameters. 2000-10-11 22:27:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 6fe9bacb8c Make sure methods of ZipFile objects are in alphabetical order; the logical
groupings are still maintained.  Based on a comment by Steve Holden
<sholden@holdenweb.com>.
2000-10-11 18:56:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 2c4f554b78 Fixed a large number of small problems, mostly noted by Detlef Lannert
<lannert@lannert.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de>.
2000-10-10 22:00:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 66c9f0781d Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficient
than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>).

Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means.

Fixed a few markup nits.
2000-10-10 20:58:48 +00:00

Yee <ping@lfw.org> and probably others as well.
2000-10-10 20:23:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 77b76b6db6 Substantially revise to handle the fact that Python CVS is no longer in a
file-system accessible repository.  Add a little bit of smarts to convert
the cvsroot to an anonymous cvsroot the real one requires an authenticated
login to SourceForge; this avoids the SSH startup delay when doing the
checkout or export to get a fresh copy of the tree.
2000-10-10 19:35:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ece71327f Make it clear that copy_reg.pickle() should not be used for classes, but

Fred Drake 6ff7aec2ab Move the documentation for the mutex module to be with the threading

2000-10-06 20:01:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 062ea2e70b Made a number of revisions suggested by Fredrik Lundh.
