Fred Drake 2e06c209dc Revise the versioning information to say that this was revised in 1.6,
not added then, and note what the change was (ncurses, change to a package).

Fred Drake 062ea2e70b Made a number of revisions suggested by Fredrik Lundh.
Revised the first paragraph so it doesn't sound like it was written
when 7-bit strings were assumed; note that Unicode strings can be used.

Fred Drake d88d0a1d5b It turns out that Guido does not like or encourage the use of the term
"disciplines" for the __*__() methods, so they should be referred to as
"methods" or "special methods", as appropriate in context.

Fred Drake 5d63a39983 is_zipfile() description: Use the same name for the parameter as the
code, in case someone wants to use it as a keyword paramter.

      constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.

Fred Drake 15f06661c1 Added deprecation notices to atof(), atoi(), and atol(), recommending
use of the float(), int(), and long() built-ins instead.

Fixed minor markup nit elsewhere (use of \optional).
2000-10-04 13:59:52 +00:00
Fred Drake c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
2000-10-04 13:57:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 63eb6300a9 Remove styling information that conflicts with or duplicates the stylesheet;
different browsers resolve the conflicts differently, and the "proper"
resolution is not what we actually want.

Reported by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.

Andrew M. Kuchling d44dc3ca6f Rewrites to section on new development process, after Usenet discussion
of the text
2000-10-04 12:40:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.

Fred Drake 1654b43ef7 Preliminary tool to troll through the CVS logs and LaTeX sources for
the names of people that should be in the ACKS file.

This relies on some personal code that is not yet available, but should
be by the time we release 2.0c1.
2000-10-03 22:10:25 +00:00

longer true.
2000-10-03 17:14:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 5f84c9b55e $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
        testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
        false anyway.

get_link_icon():  Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
        $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
        being used.  This can make for faster page display.  Both are
        optional.

make_my_titlegraphic():  Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.

do_env_funcdesc():  Remove debugging print.

handle_rfclike_reference():  Remove trailing colon from first line; it
        doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
        mark off-site links.
2000-10-03 06:05:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 58a2dff7f4 Replace minimal \seetext references with better annotated \seerfc

of the links.
2000-10-03 05:56:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 4dc1a6d6ba Added some comments on the interaction of reload() and extension modules.

Fred Drake 5df72f0632 Minor stylesheet nit. 2000-10-02 17:36:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a40c0702e make_icon_filename(): Convenience function to turn a partial filename
into a usable filename using $ICONSERVER and
                       $IMAGE_TYPE as needed.

get_link_icon():  Function to examine a URL and return the string to use
                  to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed
                  and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set.

Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.
2000-10-02 14:43:38 +00:00
Fred Drake f6791f3d12 Minor usage fix.
Add a note that some way of reliably detecting the use of KDE would be
really nice.
2000-10-02 03:42:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d3312f4d1 Add documentation and warnings for the isCallable(), isMappingType(),
isNumberType(), and isSequenceType() functions.

2000-10-02 03:36:18 +00:00
Greg Ward 0bc5953e83 Added skeletal "Building Extensions: Tips and Tricks" section. This

2000-09-29 17:31:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 31b761e326 Spelling: internalization --> internationalization
Fixed displays of the interactive prompt in running text.
These close SourceForge bug #115658.

Also:

Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability
to unpack any sequence type.  Explained that it is possible to create
tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary
section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.

Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.

Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant.
Removed commented-out paragraph about __private names being experimental.

Adjusted markup for consistency in some places.
