Jeremy Hylton ca9e21c9c6 Partial progress on NEWS. 2003-07-17 17:57:58 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton dabc37ce7b SF bug 770601. 2003-07-17 17:23:30 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton fb509a36c8 Get socketmodule compiling on IRIX 6.5.10.
I don't think the fix here is very good, but I'm not sure what would
be better.  In particular, we should not be defining _SGIAPI, but lots
of things break if we remove it.

Skip Montanaro 7f7e1371eb fix for bug 773020 - splitting PATH should use os.pathsep 2003-07-17 16:45:43 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton bd9f520907 Reflow long line. 2003-07-17 16:31:00 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson afd43b5512 Remove inaccurate (and it turns out, entirely superfluous) declarations of
PyOS_InputHook and PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer).

The inaccuracies were causing problems in framework builds on Mac OS X.

Fred Drake 0106e1dd20 Include the GNU info format in the edist target since we're now
building a fair portion of the documentation as info.
2003-07-17 15:29:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8836e567b9 - remove mention of the isprivate flag, since that isn't directly
documented here, and according to Tim, should never have been there
- misc. cleanups for consistency

I tested against VC 7.0 and it caused no problems there.
2003-07-17 14:41:07 +00:00

Neil Schemenauer af4c5059d5 Remove code that tried to warn about shadowing builtin names after a
module had been compiled.  It gives too many spurious warnings.

Neil Schemenauer 7555294576 Remove code that tried to warn about shadowing builtin names after a

Skip Montanaro bfa6872260 Zap the C API subsection altogether for now. It's not actually usable from
C yet anyway.
2003-07-16 21:14:35 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling aa9b39f910 Mention list.index; more small textual changes 2003-07-16 20:37:26 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling c760c6c442 Add reminder list of things to document; mention sys.getcheckinterval() and socket.timeout exception 2003-07-16 20:12:33 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 6c733d3711 Add mmap bugfix; typo and grammar fixes 2003-07-16 20:11:34 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2491cd98c4 expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Raymond Hettinger 4d6e8fe5d1 Clarify the lack of relationship between rich comparison operators.
Prompted by a discussion on comp.lang.python.

Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.
2003-07-16 19:25:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 853276e16d Lots of markup cleanups to avoid warnings from the GNU info generation;
these make sense even without that processing chain.
2003-07-16 17:58:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 788617f8f0 Remove \versionchanged; the text was too complex for the GNU info
conversion to support.  Keep the content as normal content, with a
note that this applies starting in Python 2.3.
2003-07-16 16:19:08 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton f75d9fce16 Remove stray comments. 2003-07-16 16:17:57 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1c7a0ea056 Remove unnecessary check in tests for slots allowed.
The !PyType_Check(base) check snuck in as part of rev 2.215, but was
unrelated to the SF patch that is mentioned in the checkin comment.
The test is currently unnecessary because base is set to the return
value of best_bases(), which returns a type or NULL.

Andrew M. Kuchling 2cd773160d Minor text changes; update bug/patch count (quite a jump!) 2003-07-16 14:44:12 +00:00
Fred Drake bd5fdd93a9 Make it easier to figure out the where a menuselection starts and ends
by controling the font.
2003-07-16 14:01:56 +00:00
Fred Drake a66b6c1267 Cygwin instructions:
- added missing period
- added markup so it's easier to tell which names are special
2003-07-16 13:50:28 +00:00
Andrew MacIntyre bac1ea937e More pre-2.3 build tweaks for the OS/2 EMX port:
- more clean up of the generated import library definiton (.DEF file)
  following checking of patch 770521, and tightening of the sed regexps.

- use -O3 even with gcc 2.8.1 - worth nearly 10% with 2.3; worth
  nothing with 2.2.x.

- clean up a couple of whitespace issues introduced by a cut'n'paste.
2003-07-16 13:31:11 +00:00
Fred Drake d24c767d5b A variety of markup-level adjustments. 2003-07-16 05:17:23 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 46f681cc07 Discussion of signatures for unicode.translate() and str.translate()
were in the wrong file.  Moved out of libstring.tex and into
libstdtypes.tex.
2003-07-16 05:11:27 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 43d790c087 Exercise Jim Fulton's new doctest extension for running doctests in a
unittest environment.  Since his extension finds docstrings in private
functions, it exposed a bug in the difflib doctests.
2003-07-16 04:34:56 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 83325e9087 Fix faulty doctests. There is no results attribute.
Note, these tests were not getting exercised because
doctest skips over private functions.
2003-07-16 04:32:32 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f3590623e9 Extend last change to cover TestSuites as well as TestCases. 2003-07-16 04:29:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c85bcb2aa - update some comments
- add support for the "What's New" document
- add short aliases for individual documents; nice for debugging
  conversions
2003-07-16 04:02:58 +00:00
Fred Drake fa00f91897 Pass along the selected "What's New" document to the make file for the
GNU info conversion.
2003-07-16 04:01:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 15b3dba85e Adjust description of the internationalized domain name encoding to
better accomodate the GNU info conversion.
2003-07-16 04:00:14 +00:00
Mark Hammond bb4a47c818 Prevent failure on the mac, where "mbcs" is not the file system
encoding.  Use sys.getfilesystemencoding().
2003-07-16 03:46:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 0bb242b67c Map \envvar to the TeXinfo equivalent, @env. 2003-07-16 03:44:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 850026308b Simple support for the alltt environment. 2003-07-16 03:35:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3605ae5966 In the description of enumerate(), the indexing operators should not
be included in the \var.  This produced weird results in general, but
broke the GNU info conversion.
2003-07-16 03:26:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 7769bb9224 Teach this script about \AA and \aa (the Scandanavian A-ring
characters); \AA is used in whatsnew23.tex.
