a417b66204
Updated the README to the current status. Added a note about the
...
"times" option.
1997-12-08 20:51:26 +00:00
0b334104ac
New version from AMK -- with minor corrections to make it legal latex.
1997-12-08 17:33:40 +00:00
f3d729c8f9
Fixed SFT #23842 : leave in non-standard style options when checking in an
...
update. ;-(
1997-12-08 15:48:35 +00:00
e907208b30
Some reorganization (all limit operations & constants together, and all usage
...
functions and constants together).
Make explicit datadesc sections for each of the constants which might appear,
and have a description of each. (Descriptions are based on the Linux
documentation and sources and the Solaris man pages.)
Hopefully Jeremy won't mind, because I didn't ask. ;-)
1997-12-06 07:25:41 +00:00
a0eaa2200c
Some manipulations with tags to get the TOC and Index to look better
1997-12-06 00:39:45 +00:00
3e396cf9ff
New WML file, this time with working Title and Author tags, and
...
mapping chapter and section headings to more appropriate nodes so that
the TOC actually works. Now generates one HTML page per chapter.
1997-12-06 00:38:30 +00:00
eee08cdd54
Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation.
...
Use \file{} for file names.
Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.
Made the example startup banner current. The version number should be
bumped before the next release.
1997-12-04 15:43:15 +00:00
0d3b4f8beb
Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed.
...
Remove spurious underscore following book title. Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.
Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
98b032a7c0
Removed unnecessary escaping.
1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
1cf87496a6
Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job.
...
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.
Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
7381e28399
Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left
...
shift.
Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
c2297c1ce9
Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere.
...
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.
Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.
1997-12-04 04:45:28 +00:00
7c4cba8325
Added handler for opcodedesc environment.
...
Fixed weird index behavior.
1997-12-03 19:45:08 +00:00
f2d7e5528d
make_str_index_entry(): New function. Similar to make_index_entry(), but
...
includes the string in the returned value instead of the dummy
filler character.
add_idx(): Override the latex2html function of the same name; this gets
the anchor properly embedded in the <dt> element, so the index
works in Grail too.
1997-12-03 19:44:27 +00:00
ab76af3d65
Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro).
1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
456035f4b1
The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions
...
to use the opcodedesc environment.
Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.
Fixed a typo: "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.
Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent. Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me. It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project. Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.
1997-12-03 04:06:57 +00:00
a610f9f8c1
Added environment for defining PyVM instructions. This is only used in
...
the libdis.tex file I'm about to check in.
I'm not sure this is really an optimal solution yet, but it may be the best
alternative. It avoids describing the instructions as either data items or
functions.
This change was discussed with Guido. (Guido: Take a look at the LaTeX
output for this; if this is reasonable I'll go ahead and update the perl
code in myformat.perl to match.)
1997-12-03 03:42:39 +00:00
240ddc8a68
Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart.
1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00
3593e5c4c3
Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object.
1997-12-02 19:15:01 +00:00
0f280b6099
Use $LOGNAME instead of $USER to get the current user -- it seems to
...
be the state of the art.
1997-12-01 18:50:09 +00:00
433c8ca328
Removed Queue.py. It's documented now.
1997-12-01 16:35:54 +00:00
798654fc68
Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
...
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
2478f9d5a2
Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing
...
the documentation here.
1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
92796d1f01
Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
...
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
7730cc067f
Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
73ec2c0081
Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally
...
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
330c660f66
The dependency of tarhtml on l2h was a bad idea.
1997-11-26 15:31:32 +00:00
ee9f820cf1
Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied
...
to get the actual prompt).
1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
84cca446f2
Added utility target tarhtml to tar and gzip the HTML files plus their
...
support (GIFS, icons, style sheets).
1997-11-25 20:49:09 +00:00
28fbe4dcd2
Adding the icons used by latex2html output to the CVS tree.
1997-11-25 20:14:07 +00:00
628b4085b5
Ignore html files generated by webmaker.
1997-11-25 20:10:40 +00:00
000eb0a138
Augmented the script so that (at CNRI anyway) it also invokes webmaker
...
to create the HTML.
1997-11-25 20:10:19 +00:00
4323f7c7fd
Simple index for the reference manuals (mostly for use on the Windows
...
platform).
1997-11-25 18:27:23 +00:00
71ace95e12
Updated to the most pressing 1.5 issues.
1997-11-25 18:20:52 +00:00
580aa8dbc3
Several changes, e.g. restructuring of the intro to be closer to what
...
it ought to be. Maybe the last checkin before 1.5b1 is released.
1997-11-25 15:34:51 +00:00
cb91e7bbd3
Added the "italic correction" command ("\/") to the list of ignored commands.
...
There is at least one of there in the library reference, and this reduces
the warning count. We *do* know what to do with it!
1997-11-25 04:06:21 +00:00
e624e0f99e
Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation;
...
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.
Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00
f259efe3d9
Get rid of math mode in some places.
1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
3e1e274d0b
Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp.
1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
9d62e80e46
Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash.
1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00
5b7220f7ee
Oops, did the previous delete the wrong way.
1997-11-25 00:05:12 +00:00

Get rid of last traces of module 'audio'
1997-11-24 23:59:31 +00:00

Adding Martin von Loewis' documentation for his locale module.
1997-11-20 21:04:27 +00:00

Add description for some modules that have been added since this intro
...
section was last revised...
1997-11-20 21:03:33 +00:00
3472026347
Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb).
1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
17c8e781c0
libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module.
...
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex
lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
4552f3d6de
In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the
...
interface when repl is a function. Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.
1997-11-20 00:15:13 +00:00
e4a93bc4b3
Fix the release date for 1.5b1 to be Nov. 26
1997-11-18 15:32:15 +00:00

Add xmllib; remove (slow) from description of htmllib.
1997-11-18 15:30:40 +00:00

Clarified reference to old profiler.
...
Mention conversion to Perl-style regular expressions.

Docu for dis.py, written by Martin von Loewis.
1997-11-18 15:10:53 +00:00

Small wording change about global and local trace functions.
1997-10-27 19:57:20 +00:00

Ooops, found too more references to old conditions on floating point values.
1997-10-24 21:15:55 +00:00
ae18e9fc1c
Removed obsolete discussion on _xdr helper module.
1997-10-24 21:14:36 +00:00
d7dc2eb708
Put {} around \^ in sets to force latex2html to do the right thing...
1997-10-22 03:03:44 +00:00
828a0bdb1d
count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find
...
to use the same, better words to explain start/end.
1997-10-20 22:40:26 +00:00
871cf161f1
Documented exc_info(); also updated exc_type and last_type docs.
1997-10-20 22:38:43 +00:00
9e63faaa66
Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
...
since that's now the recommended way to do it.
In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\"). Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
2950b2d881
Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the math
...
module documentation.
1997-10-13 22:06:17 +00:00
9dcc5a94c5
Add support for ctypedesc, cvardesc, seealso, seemodule, seetext.
...
This seems to take care of everything but tables and equations.
1997-10-13 22:04:17 +00:00
7cd60442b4
Remove macpath entry -- it is already documented.
1997-10-13 22:02:09 +00:00
5451d67dd9
socket_type ==> SocketType

"not in" operator.
1997-10-13 20:48:17 +00:00

struct _frozen:

Use spaces instead of tabs to indent structure definition; tabs don't
work in tex/latex.

The sequence behavior is now on the Exception root class rather than
...
on the StandardError class.
1997-10-07 14:41:04 +00:00
fdacc58bfe
Added pointer to api.tex and note about the out-of-date-ness of this
...
document.
1997-10-07 14:40:16 +00:00
18b0db3b53
Set Oct 10 as the release date.
1997-10-07 14:39:43 +00:00
9faf4c57b0
Change title to {Python/C API Reference Manual}; remove \bcode \ecode
...
which appears to be out of fashion in this file.
1997-10-07 14:38:54 +00:00
6f2a26d42b
And "ni" has been documented...
1997-10-06 21:53:50 +00:00
2df75832b3
Oops; don't know if this was my typo or not: There was a "p" on a line that
...
should have been blank.
1997-10-06 21:52:31 +00:00
c211254334
Updated the section "Parsing Python".
1997-10-06 21:41:30 +00:00
14bf341f16
Added keyword module entry.
1997-10-06 21:40:48 +00:00
e061a51de1
Minor nits (Lib/token.py is a file, token is a module...).
...
Added docs for symbol and token modules at the end.
1997-10-06 21:40:20 +00:00
db12f343bc
Documentation for the keyword module.
1997-10-06 21:39:16 +00:00
00eb96a126
Move the pprint docs after the code docs, so that all parser/codegen type
...
things come together.
1997-10-06 21:26:03 +00:00
dc0f00ad03
Document the mapping object's new get() method.
1997-10-06 17:50:48 +00:00
04ac894189
Add the four latex2html output directories: api, ext, lib, tut.
1997-10-06 13:20:17 +00:00
c44d3d6664
Done with tread state descriptions. Sigh!
1997-10-06 05:10:47 +00:00
0bfd146594
Added strerror()
1997-10-05 18:54:52 +00:00

Documented new exceptions and exception classes.
1997-10-05 18:51:26 +00:00

...
the interfaces defined in import.h.
1997-10-05 15:27:29 +00:00
b55e07f4eb
Fixed up formatting.
1997-09-30 21:59:27 +00:00
1b914b3397
Fixed up formatting, added descriptions for previously undocumented functions.
1997-09-30 20:14:50 +00:00
3cdb8f3286
Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which
...
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module(). Added the new module type constants. Declare that
SEARCH_ERROR and a whole bunch of module-type-specific functions are
obsolete.
1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00
9cf4e2bde7
Change packages to site-packages (so it's clearly not a package itself).
1997-09-08 02:02:37 +00:00
16221126d6
Added warning about ni's obsolescence. Retracted semantic changes
...
(i.e. when using ni, the old __init__.py semantics prevail!)
1997-09-07 03:02:39 +00:00
593801142e
Initial revision
1997-09-07 02:56:35 +00:00
f01dff7e93
Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and
...
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist). This is a reasonable
compromise.
1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00
28cad964ec
Document newly revamped site configuration mechanism.
...
Damn the criticism in c.l.p!
1997-08-30 20:03:28 +00:00
36764b8b0e
Added docs for 'user' customization module. Renamed libuser.tex
...
(which had UserDict/UserList) to libuserdict.tex.
1997-08-30 20:02:25 +00:00
b2afc811c2
Added os.altsep; this is '/' on DOS/Windows, and None on systems with
...
a sane filename syntax.
1997-08-29 22:37:44 +00:00
282290f821
Referred to POSIX docs as well as to Unix docs.
1997-08-27 14:54:25 +00:00

Ignore whitespace between formats (not internal to a count+format).
1997-08-26 20:39:54 +00:00
81e479a11f
Removed some colons that shouldn't be there (probably leftovers from
...
docstring conversion).
1997-08-25 18:28:03 +00:00
5de31fc094
Oops, don't suppress echo of the rm command in l2hclean!
1997-08-22 18:20:33 +00:00
03ff6f7474
Simplify LaTeX2HTML targets && support re-use of output directories (which
...
saves re-generation of images).
Add l2hclean target.
1997-08-22 18:18:54 +00:00
289f97d0ea
Changed description of SchedParams() in the following way:
...
\bar{Besocial} --> \var{besocial}
^--- note case ----^
The fixed version matches the signature. Changed "\bar{Besocial} gives ..."
to "The \var{besocial} flag gives ..." to keep from starting the sentence
with a lowercase token.
(The \bar{} --> \var{} change was required to keep LaTeX happy.)
1997-08-22 13:51:31 +00:00
2999607e59
Added missing "\end{funcdesc}" after FindFolder documentation.
1997-08-22 13:45:13 +00:00

e229d8636d
Misc Mac mods by Jack. Added libmacic.tex, and these patches:
...
libmacfs.tex Document NewAliasMinimalFromFullPath
libmacos.tex Document SetEventHandler and SchedParams
libmacui.tex Document asynchronous event handling
libmailbox.tex Removed mime-turds that somehow got in here
1997-08-18 15:14:26 +00:00
5060b3be9b
Consistently change Python-C API to Python/C API; added lots of new
...
introductory text for reference counts and error handling, with good
examples.
1997-08-17 18:02:23 +00:00
b235d9e673
Tweaked all l2h targets to remove the target directory before renaming

fc8f6f3ed3
(Makefile): The sed hack is needed for all 3 manuals processed by latex2html;
...
the comma must represent a bug in the modified process_command()
function, but I haven't found it yet. This will work for now.
1996-12-06 18:45:30 +00:00
f1e6707ea6
(Makefile): Rip out old partparse.py / texi2html.py stuff -- use latex2html
...
instead! Updated some comments.
1996-12-06 15:11:34 +00:00
0d58d44da1
(myformat.perl): Don't italicize the '[]' characters around optional
...
parameters.
1996-12-06 15:09:14 +00:00
dce22add1b
(.latex2html-init): Restore one setting to the default (no real need to
...
change it), and correct a typo in a comment.
1996-12-06 14:50:58 +00:00
9abe64a395
(libparser.tex): Added note that the line number for a terminal token
...
indicates the line on which the token ends rather than starts
(a side effect of interpreting the parse tree nodes directly).
Maybe I'll fix this for Python 2.0.
1996-12-05 22:28:43 +00:00
102dc417bf
Describe the new Unpacker.get_buffer() method.
1996-12-04 22:05:42 +00:00
bda7ca7772
Added [nh]to[hn][sl]().
1996-12-02 17:24:10 +00:00
dde9c2c1d2
Added .ilg (makeindex logfile)
1996-11-27 19:54:40 +00:00
4745a274a5
Added some more turd files we can't avoid: .MIF, .ps, .auto.

Script to write MIF files from ref*.{book,doc}
1996-11-27 19:50:32 +00:00
3e1fe89a0d
(myformat.perl): Fixed handling of "\e" -- argh!
1996-11-11 23:03:36 +00:00
b4d4e25a62
(Makefile): Updated comments about using LaTeX2HTML for the library
...
reference. Made the extension to the input files for makeindex
explicit; if not made explicit a directory of the given base
name can cause makeindex to blow up. Specifically, if there is
a directory ./lib/ created by LaTeX2HTML, "makeindex lib" will
fail, but "makeindex lib.idx" will not.
l2h{tut,ext,lib} are now dependent on myformat.perl.
l2h adds ls2lib and removes the non-existant l2href.
1996-11-11 21:03:01 +00:00
4464022799
(myformat.perl): Simplify generated HTML for "\optional{...}".
1996-11-11 20:51:09 +00:00
b33021b572
(fix_libaux.sed): Hackish little sed script to modify lib.aux to get section
...
numbers right for latex2html for section titles which include
"\sectcode{__.*__}" in the name. Perhaps less general than it should
be, but sufficient.
1996-11-11 20:49:27 +00:00
784c6d3684
(.latex2html-init): Perform some limited setup for the reference manuals;
...
some defaults are set here, but mostly this allows the "\," command
to be used the way it is in the Python documentation.
All future documentation should probably be written with only ","
in the argument lists and not "\,".
1996-11-11 20:46:44 +00:00
9b550d992a
(myformat.sty): Simplify \varvars definition.
1996-11-11 20:43:46 +00:00
c384d7560e
(myformat.perl): Updated to allow library reference manual to be handled by
...
latex2html. Mostly added support for custom environments and some
of the smaller commands used in the library reference (\e, \optional).
1996-11-11 16:04:35 +00:00
b54f4dea73
Added 'Introduction' section head and 'Memory Management' subsection.
1996-11-06 15:47:58 +00:00
76e47f3d75
Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-(
1996-11-02 17:05:21 +00:00
f93f101450
(Makefile): Updated latex2html support.
1996-10-29 16:07:46 +00:00
7a7480dc84
(myformat.perl): Added handler for cfuncdesc environment. This is needed
...
for the extending & embedding manual.
1996-10-29 15:56:57 +00:00
eb33c781f3
(myformat.sty, extref.tex): Moved definition of cfuncdesc environment to
...
myformat.sty; having it in extref.tex confuses LaTeX2HTML.
1996-10-29 15:55:08 +00:00
fd255e433f
(tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command
...
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting). The latest
LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected. This
handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
1996-10-29 15:50:05 +00:00
abcb38250b
(texi2html.py): Minor improvement to HTML 3.0 output for code examples.
1996-10-25 22:13:59 +00:00
893e5e0a15
(partparse.py): Fix nasty bug where \e got translated to @e only within
...
the optional arg of an \item[].

...
documentation.
1996-10-14 16:20:42 +00:00
9b0581192d
Added embryonic description of fcntl.lockf(). Added pointer to that

in posixfile (which is obsolescent).
1996-10-11 17:43:34 +00:00
22f7f9e671
(texi2html.py): Added CLASS=Navigation attribute to DIV around top/bottom
...
navigation links for HTML 3 version.
Forced a blank line above the footnotes separator for HTML 2; at
least one page did not get this spaced correctly.
1996-10-11 16:54:00 +00:00

(partparse.py): Small fix to do_datadesc(): in some odd cases the name of

description.
1996-10-10 20:09:56 +00:00
5f2aa7113d
(Makefile): Push texi2html.py options into a make variable.
1996-10-09 19:33:17 +00:00
0282726643
(texi2html.py): Tightened the generated HTML slightly. Added -p option to
...
print section titles even when the debugging output is not enabled.
Added -3 option to generate HTML 3.0 constructs where meaningful.
Removed repititive garbage generation: the old version added simple
descriptive comments after every datadesc/funcdesc/*desc entry:
function(args) -- function of module xxxx
Description....
These comments are no longer generated:
function(args)
Description....
1996-10-09 19:05:12 +00:00

Improve indexing somewhat. Add small intros to the "implementations"
sections of the formatter module doc.

1996-09-27 17:11:24 +00:00
a39a25e5ec
(texi2html.py): Use "if __name__ == '__main__':" test. Adjust indentation
...
to 4 spaces per level (no longer 8).
(Makefile): Use .pyc versions of partparse.py and texi2html.py to generate
converted documentation formats. This reduces the startup costs;
probably doesn't affect anyone but me in reality, but helps when
working on the docs.
1996-09-13 14:44:34 +00:00
