Fred Drake 8779f648d2 Added descriptions of the t#, w, and w# PyArg_ParseTuple() format
characters; these are the ones for the buffer interface.

Guido van Rossum 7f1fdfcdaf Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu. 1999-08-26 23:06:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 416b961be8 Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)

Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
location can't be predicted).  Windows solution TBD.
1999-08-26 23:06:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ee4891c82 Update the instructions slightly.
Add a new section describing what each of the tools does, in general
terms.
1999-08-26 18:08:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f0279f439 Removed; no longer needed now that the other tools can handle entity
references directly.
1999-08-26 18:05:23 +00:00

1999-08-26 17:56:47 +00:00
Fred Drake f6199edcd3 Conversion.subconvert(): Added support for "entityref" parameters
(must be named in the conversion spec.).

TableParser.start_entityref():  New method.  Use to support creating
        entity references via the conversion specification.

1999-08-26 17:50:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 762e206706 posix_putenv(): Constrain memory leakage when setting the same
environment variable repeatedly.  I posted this to the list
        some time ago, but only now got around to asking g--d- what he
        thought about it.

Guido van Rossum e7f19200e8 Doco update from Sjoerd Mullender. 1999-08-26 15:57:44 +00:00

"""
Added some optional arguments to the XMLParser __init__ method to
specify that selected non-standard constructs are to be accepted.
Also removed the documentation for handle_entityrefs since it isn't
used.
"""

The version is incremented to 0.3.

Guido van Rossum 3601e88cb3 Sjoerd Mullender writes:
"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85.  In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.

Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.

Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).

Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk.  Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.

Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.

Fred Drake 2900ff9382 Added paragraph explaining that except clauses can't be empty; that
pass can be used if needed.  By Dan Wolfe <wolfeman@apple.com>.
1999-08-24 22:14:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c2533fe3c Added sentence "All exceptions must have an executable block."; from
Dan Wolfe <wolfeman@apple.com>.

Fred Drake b68a125d64 Added additional index entries.
Minor markup nits.

Fred Drake 76dd228f52 whrandom should come immediately after random, not before. 1999-08-23 20:12:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c924b8d976 Clarified start parameter to Py_CompileString, documented
Py_eval_input, Py_file_input, and Py_single_input.

Problems reported by Aaron Brancotti <aaron@icona.it>.
1999-08-23 18:57:25 +00:00
Jack Jansen f6969fae01 Removed availabe() method again: even on PPC it sometimes returns 1 while
quicktime isn't available. Use gestalt in stead for this functionality.
1999-08-23 11:45:40 +00:00
Jack Jansen 950269239b Return MacOS.Error in stead of RuntimeError in case of failure so the user
gets a reasonable explanation in stead of a large negative number.

Guido van Rossum c6a164b8bc Port inet_ntoa and inet_aton to Windows:
- fix unescaped newline in string literal
- removed unused err variable
- Windows doesn't have inet_aton; use inet_addr instead
1999-08-20 19:11:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e61e98d2ae Add calls to self.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.destroy) to the Tk
and Toplevel class constructors.  This means that if the window
manager closes the window, the Python-side Tkinter data structures
will be destroyed correctly.  (Most apps do this anyway, and it's
recommended practice; I see no reason why making it the default
behavior could be bad.)
1999-08-20 18:26:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5c9eb21729 Patch by Ben Gertzfield to add inet_aton() and inet_ntoa() calls. 1999-08-20 18:21:51 +00:00
Fred Drake abf8a1daa8 rewrite_descriptor(): Fix bug that dropped the first TEXT node from
<description> elements.  Add another sanity
                       check to make sure a special case only becomes
                       involved for <opcodedesc> and <opcodedescni>
                       elements.

fixup_paras_helper():  Clean up control flow.

Everywhere that checks node.nodeType==ELEMENT and node.tagName now
just check node.nodeName (nodeName is guaranteed for all node types
and will be special values that don't conflict with GIs for
non-ELEMENT nodes).  Simplifies a number of tests and improves
readability in a lot of places.

Guido van Rossum 1ebcf6aabb Patches by Michael Reilly to correctly deal with ftp URLs of the form
ftp://user@host//root/path: the double slash in the pathname means to
go to the root directory even if the initial directory isn't the root.

Barry Warsaw 772d69676e __update(): Jeremy Hylton reports occurances of sunaudiodev.error
(interrupted system call) when getting the device information.  I've
never seen it, but this patch should take care of the problem.

If we get that exception and we're polling, just return since we'll
wake up again soon and get the right information.  If we're not
polling, try 4 times and then give up.
