Fred Drake 884d3ba9dd Make sure the Modules/ directory is created before writing Modules/Setup. 2000-11-02 17:52:56 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling e7d3616409 Patch from Randall Hopper to fix PR #116172, "curses module fails to
build on SGI":
* Check for 'sgi' preprocessor symbol, not '__sgi__'
* Surround individual character macros with #ifdef's, instead of making them
  all rely on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES

Tim Peters 0d430e28c0 Hack ndiff to display lines w/ leading tabs more intuitively. This synchs
ndiff w/ a custom version I made for Guido during the pre-2.0 freeze.

Guido van Rossum 8d6e8af16e Hack to force -lpthread instead instead of -lcma on HPUX, by Philipp
Jocham.  Philipp asks: "Are there any success stories with HP-UX 11.00
and -lcma?  Maybe libcma is broken."

Jeremy Hylton 6b4ec5135b Fix for SF bug #117241
When a method is called with no regular arguments and * args, defer
the first arg is subclass check until after the * args have been
expanded.

N.B. The CALL_FUNCTION implementation is getting really hairy; should
review it to see if it can be simplified.

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 4ba298c325 ParserCreate(): Added test that the namespace_separator value, if given,
has the required length.

initpyexpat():  Provide the type object for the ParserCreate() return
                value as XMLParserType.
2000-10-29 04:57:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f739befe5 Do not echo the echo command with the message telling the user that Setup
may be out of date.

Martin v. Löwis 02956017f9 Do not release unallocated Tcl objects. Closes #117278 and #117167. 2000-10-29 00:44:43 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh ebc37b28fa -- properly reset groups in findall (bug #117612)
-- fixed negative lookbehind to work correctly at the beginning
of the target string (bug #117242)

-- improved syntax check; you can no longer refer to a group
inside itself (bug #110866)
2000-10-28 19:30:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 8fdb6383dc Update author information. 2000-10-28 04:08:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3c34bb33ff (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): When searching backwards for the matching
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters.  Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).
2000-10-27 05:00:25 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 08a8a355be Added the -D/--docstrings option for extraction of unmarked module,
class, method, and function docstrings.
2000-10-27 04:56:28 +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 4532dc1bd9 Do not require packages that are not needed. 2000-10-26 21:13:22 +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 8007849048 Update build instructions to reflect the rename from Setup.in to Setup.dist.
Clarify when this file is created automatically and do not advocate
creating it unless needed.

Explain that Setup never gets overwritten.
2000-10-26 17:13:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 036144d26d Test for and create Modules/Setup in the configure script if it does not
already exist.
2000-10-26 17:09:35 +00:00
Fred Drake cf3bc8c5a5 Rename Setup.in to Setup.dist, and assume that configure will create
Setup (instead of creating it from the Makefile).
2000-10-26 17:07:40 +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 35f8d46f94 Update a comment to be correct. 2000-10-26 14:57:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 9c6850510c Remove bogus stdout redirection and use of sys.__stdout__; use
augmented print statement instead.
2000-10-26 03:56:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 33e2c3ece3 Remove bogus stdout redirection and use of sys.__stdout__; use
augmented print statement instead.

Fred Drake bce920129c Typo: shorted --> shorter
This closes bug #117706.
2000-10-25 23:22:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c8fcdcba36 Patch 102114, Bug 11725. On OpenBSD (but apparently not on the other
BSDs) you need a leading underscore in the dlsym() lookup name.
2000-10-25 22:07:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum add8d86325 Fix two typos in __imul__. Closes Bug #117745. 2000-10-25 21:58:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e752baae71 Add IDLE wish: access items of arrays 2000-10-25 21:18:12 +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>.

Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
2000-10-25 20:59:52 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7cff7fe21f Many changes.
Reformatting -- long lines, "[ ]" -> "[]", a few indentation nits.

Replace calls to Node function (which constructed ast nodes) with
calls to actual constructors imported from ast module.

Optimize com_node (most frequently used method) for the common case --
the appropriate method is found in _dispatch.

Fix com_augassign to use class object's rather than node names
(rendered invalid by recent changes to ast)

Remove expensive tests for sequence-ness in com_stmt and
com_append_stmt. These tests should never fail; if they do, something
is really broken and exception will be raised elsewhere.

Fix com_stmt and com_append_stmt to use isinstance rather than
testing's type slot of ast node (this slot disappeared with recent
changes to ast).
2000-10-25 18:10:32 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 628d289d12 Generated from rev 1.1 of ast.txt 2000-10-25 18:02:59 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 66d2c1f7e5 Small optimizations in dispatch method: 1) lookup node's __class__ once
and store in local; 2) define _preorder to be dispatch (rather than
method that called dispatch).
2000-10-25 18:02:02 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 821eee3321 Support for generation of ast.py from simple description of node
structure (ast.txt).  Usage is python astgen.py > ast.py.
2000-10-25 17:59:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 6caae14fbd Try to clarify when the Modules/Setup file should be edited. Added
information about the --with-pydebug option to configure.

This closes bug #117070.
2000-10-25 17:51:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1378bd5b0b Also point TK_LIBRARY to the appropriate directory.
Changed the landmark to tclIndex, which should occur in both.
2000-10-25 17:42:13 +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.
