Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files.

There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it
...
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
13c8ef62e6
Say a bit more about .pyc and .pyo files.
1998-05-29 19:12:23 +00:00
7238988657
Fixed example to load the startup file from a script (didn't test for the
...
file's existance).
Removed some XXX comments about extension modules which support pickling.
Added text from AMK about the readline and rlcompleter modules.
Thanks, AMK!

The built-in exceptions are not still strings, so make no claims about them.
1998-04-12 02:48:47 +00:00
e7957184d2
Change \sectcode to logical markup.
1998-04-04 07:17:47 +00:00
a594bafde7
Normalized case rules in section headings.
...
Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions".
This means there's now a short section on "Defining Functions" immediately
followed by a long section "More on Defining Functions."
1998-04-03 05:16:31 +00:00
391564f10f
Small markup nits, a few grammatical fixes, and a clarification of the binary
...
mode for files under MacOS.
Updated the traffic figure for c.l.p in the "What Now?" chapter; see comments.
1998-04-01 23:11:56 +00:00
6659c30b67
Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
...
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
1998-03-03 22:02:19 +00:00
6c2176eea7
Added \label{}s for logical addressing.
1998-02-26 21:47:54 +00:00
8842e867af
Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere.
...
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.
Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.
Use more logical and less physical markup.
1998-02-13 07:16:30 +00:00

"lists objects" --> "list objects" (Section "More on Lists".)
1998-02-11 22:29:17 +00:00
8d486b1779
In the appendix, all sections were marked as subsections, and so had section
...
numbers "A.0.#". Fixed.
1998-02-11 22:12:18 +00:00

Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"
...
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"
Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
Leaving it for now.
1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
4d4f9e726a
Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents.
1998-01-13 22:25:02 +00:00

Consistency:
...

"C++" ==> "\Cpp{}"
1998-01-13 18:56:38 +00:00

Added openright option the the \documentclass{} for each of the manuals.
1998-01-13 16:53:23 +00:00
1f8449af4e
Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibility
...
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.
1998-01-09 05:36:43 +00:00
dccc298e3d
Took out some disclaiming text (even from the title!). Rewritten
...
abstract. Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release
:-(
1997-12-30 04:40:25 +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
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
0245569fd1
New version (interim) by AMK.
1997-07-17 16:21:52 +00:00
6dc2aae3cd
(tut.tex): Normalized all uses of "UNIX" and "{\UNIX}" to use "\UNIX{}",
...
per usage needed for GNU info processing. Based on comments from
Tamito Kajiyama.
1996-12-13 21:56:03 +00:00
76e47f3d75
Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-(
1996-11-02 17:05:21 +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

A first stab at describing what's new in 1.4. Still many XXX'es left.

Note that .pyc files are platform independent.
