Raymond Hettinger cb2da43db8 Extended tuple's C API to include a new function, PyTuple_Pack() that is
useful for rapidly building argument tuples without having to invoke the
more sophisticated machinery of Py_BuildValue().

Raymond Hettinger 2f726e9093 SF bug #812202: randint is always even
* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.
* Call the new method from randrange() for ranges >= 2**53.
* Adds a warning for generators not defining getrandbits() whenever they
  have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.

Fred Drake 664a27133c - don't re-write a SourceForge authenticated CVS root into the
anonymous flavor unless the user asks for it on the command line
- decompose SourceForge authenticated CVS roots correctly

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Fred Drake a6008d08fa Make sure the trunk Makefile doesn't require mkhowto to be "installed"
as described in "Documenting Python".

Fred Drake 4e3a27789a no longer assign into sys; "print chevron" is the way to go 2003-10-01 04:07:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 94b3463f7e We're long past worrying about Python versions older than 1.5.2;
remove old compatibility definition of os.path.abspath().
2003-10-01 04:03:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 1dc3bb4722 Work around minor markup issue: we don't want markup to escape into
the module index.

Fred Drake 69db2b967a - change computation of VERSION to use tools/getversioninfo; this is
more reliable than using the $Revision$ expansion
- $RELEASE is no longer needed; we can just use $VERSION now

Fred Drake f7a0d68708 Update the list of directories passed to py2texi.el. The ordering was
wrong, and commontex/ needed to be added.
2003-09-28 03:11:09 +00:00
Fred Drake d4956aac96 Make the "path math" more robust, and support both relative and
absolute paths as input.
2003-09-28 03:10:09 +00:00
Fred Drake c8083cf1cc Load the version information from ../Include/patchlevel.h, so there are
fewer changes to make to version numbers after a release.

Raymond Hettinger 43b5e40795 * Fix markup.
* Fix entry order:
  -  >>> before ...
  - __slots__ in the S section (like __future__ is in the F section)

Need to test the repaired(?) link to Guido's webpage.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.

Thomas Heller 6122c12031 re.sub expands escape sequences in it's second argument.

Fred Drake d4a1419f53 Lots of markup corrections. Some are minor, but others are not: the
contents of an \item should not be enclosed in a group!
2003-09-27 18:59:43 +00:00
Fred Drake cc2e48dd79 Make sure LaTeX2HTML's $TEXINPUTS variable is initialized to include
directories identified in the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
I think this is the last part of the fix for the version number
problems seen in the documentation for the 2.3.1 release.

Fred Drake 410825ac8b Move content input files shared among the documents into a new directory
(commontex/), leaving only style support files in texinputs/.  This makes
texinputs/ part of the formatting tools while commontex/ is strictly part
of the actual documentation.
2003-09-27 07:11:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ee37ff191 - use string methods
- make TEXINPUTS work the way it's supposed to in TeX-ish tools
2003-09-27 07:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake e395e2278c Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so
that it works for all targets.

The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure).  We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.

Fred Drake 2348afd3f8 - update to reflect that base classes can be class types as well as
"classic" class objects
  [partially fixes SF bug #453684]

- add note that new-style classes can use descriptors to implement
  instance variables in different ways
