Fred Drake f730fc3e4e Be a little more careful to avoid including style information in the
generated markup.

Don't be careless with the navigation icons!  We should use the blank
icon where there is not anyplace to go for a particular position in the
navigation bar.
2000-08-31 07:19:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 3eb7c126cd Always room to remove more formatting from the HTML! 2000-08-31 07:15:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 501b926da9 Move common parameters to mkhowto to a variable, add up-link from the
generated documents to the document index.
2000-08-31 07:00:17 +00:00
Fred Drake dfa539d770 Add --up-link and --up-title parameters to allow linking the top level
of the generated document to an external index.  These correspond to the
-up_url and -up_title parameters of LaTeX2HTML.
2000-08-31 06:58:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 3be2074758 Push some table header formatting to the style sheet; this also helps
separate some of the ties between l2hinit.perl and python.perl.

Revamp the "title page" construction to allow more flexibility.
2000-08-31 06:22:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 0154fea5f4 Remove obsolete scripts. 2000-08-31 06:15:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bc627a402 Add --l2h-init option, which can augment the standard LaTeX2HTML
initialization with additional Perl files.  This can be given more
than once.
2000-08-31 06:14:38 +00:00
Fred Drake b9b4c5b560 Centralize the processing logic for LaTeX documents into the mkhowto script;
do not use mkdvi.sh or mkhtl.sh any more.

This slows down building all versions of the documentation, but if you are
only building one format, it does not matter.
2000-08-31 06:12:35 +00:00
Fred Drake fcab76350a Relocate the popen2 documentation since it is now substantially more
portable.
2000-08-31 06:09:26 +00:00

Fix a couple of really minor markup nits.
2000-08-31 05:50:40 +00:00

Fred Drake eacc4fc5e6 Push a little more here to avoid style information in the generation
scripts as much as possible.
2000-08-30 15:02:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 4973b35991 Remove the reference to stdwin. The comment was still true, but no
longer meaningful to a new user, since stdwin is long gone.

Skip Montanaro 7b828a6a56 doc changes to parallel changes to calendar.py module 2000-08-30 14:02:25 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 3cdb5761c5 Fix markup error 2000-08-30 12:55:42 +00:00
Fred Drake d576e9df5f Markup revisions. Nothing was actually required to be able to format it,
but many conventions were broken.
2000-08-30 04:19:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 47eceeaaa4 Added a couple of links to online documentation. Reasonable since this
file is not used in the online documentation.
2000-08-30 03:30:40 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 28b815f28a Oops, spell MAL's name right. 2000-08-30 03:28:17 +00:00

description of listcomps and used as inspiration)
Rearranged sections (which accounts for much of the size of the diffs)
Added section on augmented assignment
Mentioned 'print >>file'
Broke up the "Core Changes" section into subsections
2000-08-30 00:51:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 699f98c09a Move a little more here. 2000-08-29 21:57:34 +00:00
Fred Drake fcb8725de5 Add a --style option to allow specifying an alternate CSS style sheet for
HTML generation; the machinery was there but no option to set it was
defined.

Simplify some of the path-math since we can assume a recent version of
Python.
2000-08-29 18:15:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 78430b655f Add a comment noting that the dependency information is stored in
Makefile.deps.
2000-08-29 16:30:21 +00:00

2000-08-25 05:13:42 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 99a3701618 Documentation for poll() interface (SF patch #100852) 2000-08-25 01:21:28 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 12bba852a9 Rough and incomplete documentation on augmented assignment, which follows
shortly. Markup also needs checking.
2000-08-24 20:06:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3d0c77b37c Addresses the other half of Bug #112634 -- the documentation suggested
that you can set self.version *after* calling the base class __init__.
In fact it must be done *before*.

(Fred, maybe the version class variable should be documented now?)
2000-08-24 16:20:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 45ca3331d9 Move references to RFCs to a "See also" section for consistency with
other sections of the library reference.

Fred Drake 9fa4d61bcc Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>:
Documentation updates for urlretrieve() and URLopener.retrieve(), to
reflect Randall Hopper's patch for those functions.

This closes SourceForge patch #100837.
2000-08-24 01:06:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8377f5debf Make sure Thomas Wouters has enough to do. ;-)
(Some of this is in-progress; this also serves as a reminded to me to
check this out once it is written.)
2000-08-24 00:50:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 093272ea85 Charles G. Waldman <cgw@fnal.gov>:
Update the dis module documentation to reflect the EXTENDED_ARG opcode.

2000-08-23 17:03:34 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 297bf7ceb5 update commonprefix doc to make sure user is aware it works
character-by-character and that that behavior may result in it returning
prefixes that are not valid paths
2000-08-23 16:58:32 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 46dfa5f4ed require list comprehensions to start with a for clause 2000-08-22 02:43:07 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 8c0a242289 PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL.
Document the extended print form.  Fred, please double check the
markup!
2000-08-21 15:45:16 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 120beb6b67 Strengthen the warning against using SerialCookie and SmartCookie.
(If they're security holes, should they be documented at all?)
Minor rewrites.
2000-08-20 23:33:50 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.
2000-08-19 20:55:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 15446d344d Add entry for Cookie module. 2000-08-19 16:55:31 +00:00
Fred Drake e5c7352201 Make it format.
Adjust markup for hyperlinking to the relevant RFCs.
Give it a little organization.
Minor nits.
2000-08-19 16:54:57 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 1b07f2bcf6 Initial revision. Markup unchecked. 2000-08-19 14:11:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 512bb72fb0 As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()
returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.

In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.
2000-08-18 03:12:38 +00:00
Fred Drake a00738259f Adjust the way __getslice__() is marked as deprecated; this will also
stand out more.
2000-08-18 02:42:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 304faf944c Fix a markup error that caused formatting to fail.
Lots of minor markup adjustments as well.

Andrew M. Kuchling 0690c86a2a Document the returns_unicode attribute 2000-08-17 23:15:21 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
2000-08-17 22:55:00 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 1d75a79c00 Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.
2000-08-17 22:37:32 +00:00

Fred Drake b32aa5ecef Revise the comments about the exceptions module to not refer to source
code; it is not sufficiently readable now that it in written in C, and
is less likely to be available to end users.
2000-08-17 22:29:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 25699f99f4 Martin v. Loewis <martin@loewis.home.cs.tu-berlin.de>:

Thomas Wouters caa658d047 Apply SF patch #101151, by Peter S-K, which fixes smtplib's passing of the
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.
2000-08-15 19:30:36 +00:00

comprehensions.

Fred Drake 6bd8b252e0 For bug reporting, point to the SourceForge bug tracker instead of the
old Jitterbug interface.
2000-08-14 16:35:05 +00:00

<den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>.
2000-08-14 15:37:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 510d08bfe4 In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought up
by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions.  It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.

This closes SourceForge bug #111520.
2000-08-14 02:50:21 +00:00

2000-08-12 03:39:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 4de96c2fd8 Added Marc-Andre Lemburg's documentation for string methods, with some
massaging for markup consistency.  This closes SourceForge patch #101063.

Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types.

Small markup nits elsewhere.
2000-08-12 03:36:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 0be5aab04d Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they
did the same anyway.

I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
2000-08-11 22:15:52 +00:00
Fred Drake a8d7341f63 PyRun_InteractiveOne(),
PyRun_InteractiveLoop():  Added descriptions.

PyExc_WindowsError:  Added to list of standard exceptions and added note

2000-08-11 20:04:19 +00:00
Fred Drake a8e484c8f5 getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will
be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
	the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
	are easily misinterpreted.

Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.

Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.
2000-08-11 19:55:06 +00:00

Fred Drake e39dab6ce1 Organized a little bit; merged in some items from the 1.5.2p2 branch that
did not get handled.
2000-07-31 18:18:27 +00:00

describing the methods of dictionaries.
2000-07-31 16:34:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b8aa2619c7 Always pass the split level to LaTeX2HTML as a command line option since
newer versions only process one initialization file, and do so at a
different time than previous versions.
2000-07-31 15:55:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 578a3f9638 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:

Minor clarification by Fred.
2000-07-31 15:45:46 +00:00

Fred Drake 10853c9835 Finally fixed the much-reported bug about "~" in a couple of example.
This time, it was reported by Skip.

Eric S. Raymond b924bd4610 Second round of curses documentation improvements. Completes and extends
documentation for function keys, special characters.
2000-07-27 21:10:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 518e55c7f2 Rip out the information about the PSA, since the fate of that is not
certain.

Update the information about the mailing list, using the python.org
address instead of cwi.nl, and point to the pipermail archives.  Also
update the daily average message count (at the risk of scaring people
off), using the mail archive at http://www.egroups.com/group/python-list
for the first half of 2000 for statistical information.
2000-07-27 20:55:12 +00:00

use the last one specified on the command line instead of all of them.
Smaller changes to reflect updated support.
2000-07-24 23:03:32 +00:00
Fred Drake e1b304db37 Fix small typos and markup consistency nits. 2000-07-24 19:35:52 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 6899660a81 First round of curses documentation improvements; correct errors, flesh out
entry point descriptions.
2000-07-24 03:28:40 +00:00

Thomas Wouters f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.
2000-07-16 19:05:38 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
2000-07-16 19:01:10 +00:00

Eric S. Raymond 7ae3a5e79d Resynchronize the TeX docs with (a) the module docstring, and (b) my recent
fix to the code to make it behave like the module docstring.
2000-07-12 02:56:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 7399b9e6e4 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:
Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline.  This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).

Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
2000-07-11 19:43:47 +00:00
Fred Drake acab3d61e9 Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
2000-07-11 16:30:30 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond 417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

2000-07-06 18:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake e1a85f5e4a Minor changes. Explain that for class exceptions, use excdesc but do not
document the constructor parameters.  Need a better way, but this will do
for now.
2000-07-06 16:12:47 +00:00

Documented the \seerfc and \seeurl macros used in that environment as well.
2000-07-06 05:24:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).
2000-07-06 04:51:04 +00:00

2000-07-05 02:24:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines.
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.

Fred Drake 52dc76c81f Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>:
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.

[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
2000-07-03 09:56:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 353aaadd9b Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>:

Andrew M. Kuchling 791b366f8f Added more changes from /F 2000-07-01 15:04:18 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling fed4f1e9c5 Changes from Moshe:
- distutils: Windows installers are already working

- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
  be docommented

- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp

- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
  win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
  Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
2000-07-01 12:33:43 +00:00
