Fred Drake 2ea30f4d8c Add warning that last() and previous() don't work for hashtable
databases (opened using hashopen()), as noted by Skip Montanaro on
comp.lang.python.

Guido van Rossum e62e76c383 Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
dramatically (up to 15 times he claims).  Works by reading more than
one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
then doubling up to the limit).  On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
way.

Fred Drake 693a2c6581 Script to locate uses of \module where the module referred to is not
the module being documented at that point in the documentation; these
are candidates for conversion to \refmodule, which produces a
hyperlink in the HTML and PDF versions of the output.

Fred Drake e0208cc83c Add a couple of items. 1999-04-22 13:05:52 +00:00
Fred Drake adade928be Fill in a lot of the blanks. Add a start to the LaTeX primer section.
Use Python-traditional XXX comments instead of square brackets that
aren't as obvious or usefully grepable.

Fred Drake 30a535c0f7 Added support for adding environment/macro parameters more cleanly:
\op adds an optional parameter, and \p adds a required parameter.
These are only defined in the context of the parameter list parameter
of the envdesc and macrodesc environments.

Fred Drake 737aa552f4 Markup nit to fixed dropped space in HTML output. 1999-04-21 17:01:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 20c92283ab Patch by Per Cederqvist, seemingly approved by The Dragon:
Two problems: The SMTPRecipientsRefused class should not inherit
SMTPResponseException, since it doesn't provide the smtp_code and
smtp_error attributes.  My patch for not adding an extra CRLF was
apparently forgotten.  The enclosed patch fixes these two problems.

Fred Drake 8307e21a2a Mark the references to module names use \module or \refmodule (the
closing paragraph used \code).
1999-04-21 16:29:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6ed122a334 Important fix mentioned by The Dragon De Monsyne: the sendmail()
method does _not_ disconnect the connection when it throws a
SMTPHeloError!
1999-04-21 16:19:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eda80eae36 Correct spelling of length, discovered by Christian Tismer. 1999-04-21 16:06:27 +00:00
Fred Drake a889add5d6 Oops; minor nit in example: none of the other interactive examples
show the "trailing" prompt, so don't show it here!
1999-04-21 16:00:24 +00:00
Fred Drake ca675e491b do_cmd_funcline(): Remove some bogus generated stuff from the output
(some text was only intended for the index).
1999-04-21 15:58:58 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 743007d2fe Patch by Christian Tismer for Win32, to use FormatMessage() instead of
strerror().  This improves the quality of the error messages.
1999-04-21 15:27:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 085b8121eb Fix some remaining index & consistency nits. (Many data member
references were being omitted from the general index.)
1999-04-21 14:00:29 +00:00
Fred Drake c3fcd6fa0e Added index entry for "file objects"; this is appearantly referenced
somewhere in the Reference Manual, and someone tried to locate it via
the index.  Report on the omission by Stefan Franke
<sfranke@cdc-group.com>.

omission repoorted by Glyn Webster <glyn@ninz.org.nz>.

Guido van Rossum 79d4398c30 For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
foo_bar_event().  Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
the example.

Guido van Rossum cfb819ee51 Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
m.span() call).
1999-04-20 15:00:00 +00:00
Fred Drake ad56dafd62 Added example use of pack_list() to help explain the pack_item
parameter.  Lack of clarity reported by Matthew Gallagher
<hew@hons.cs.usyd.edu.au>.
1999-04-20 13:41:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 068d5724d8 Calling _cleanup() does not guarantee that all processes have
terminated; this makes the final assert in the self-test code fail if
the parent runs faster than the children.  Fix this by calling wait()
on the remaining children instead.
