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.

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.

Apply SF patch #101029 : call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there

suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.

I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of

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.

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.

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.).

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.

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.

Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are

now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
...
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00

Eric Raymond:
...
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.
(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
2000-05-01 20:14:47 +00:00

Some updates to allow ../tools/mkhowto to add various bits to the
...
supplemental l2h initialization file it creates and still get all the
right behavior. In particular, it can change the image type and icon
location and not get inconsistent results.
Some code to help suppress various navigational pages; this might be
interesting when generating HTML to create HTML Help documents, since
the navigation support creates confusing hits in the full text
search. HTML Help also provides a lot of the navigational
infrastructure, so duplicating it makes it more tedious to use.

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.

Re-write in Python for portability. About 30% slower, but who cares?!
1999-08-03 17:54:39 +00:00
82ebc27357
remap_element_names(): Only used for things that the new conversion
...
engine in latex2esis.py can do, so discard it.
paragraph detection & markup: Handle some of the list-like
environments properly, picking up paragraphs inside
list items. (Only changed a few element-sets used for
recognition.)
fixup_refmodindexes_chunk(): Use the right attribute to determine the
module a <ref*modindex/> element is referring to.
convert(): Don't call remap_element_names(); it was removed.
1999-08-03 15:32:48 +00:00
2f6ec9ca81
The new conversion engine supports more of the table re-writing than
...
the old one, so use it.
1999-08-03 15:27:37 +00:00

great purpose.

Use the mksourcepgk script instead of mktarball.sh.

9f2b42080a
Re-implementation of mktarball.sh as a more portable Python script;
...
with a more descriptive name.
Allow creation of multiple archive formats with a single pass; useful
in this case since it uses a fresh export/checkout from CVS to ensure
that the tree is "clean" (no build turds, saved files, &c). Use --all
to create all supported formats.
1999-08-02 20:19:17 +00:00
080c1b5af6
bwrite(), ewrite(): Helpers for diagnostic output; essentially the
...
same as sys.stderr.write(), but bwrite() will make it
bold if stderr is a tty (for visibility).
Use these everywhere instead of accessing
sys.stderr.write() directly.
find_all_child_elements(): Find all elements by type name that are
immediate children of another.
cleanup_synopses(): Receive both the document and fragment objects as
parameters; if only the document is passed, synopsis
information is never found since it's in the fragment!
build_para(): Add a chunk of code to ensure that a newline always
follows the </para> end-tag. Not really important, but
makes presentation consistent for authoring/
maintenance.
fixup_bifuncindexes_chunk(): Use find_all_child_elements() instead of
find_all_elements() so we don't work with too many
levels at once; that could cause DOM exceptions with
the <elem>.removeChild() method.
1999-08-02 14:46:15 +00:00

Mostly minor changes.

Massive changes.
...
Separate the Conversion class into a base and a subclass; the subclass
is pretty minimal but the separation is useful for....
NewConversion: New class that implements a somewhat different
approach to the conversion. This uses a table of
instances (rather than tuples) that have more
information than the tuples used for the older
conversion procedure. This allows a lot more control
over the conversion, and it seems to be pretty
stable.
TableEntry,
Parameter: New classes that are used to build the conversion
specification used by NewConversion.
TableParser: xmllib.XMLParser subclass that builds a conversion
specification from an XML document.
load_table(): Convenience function that loads a table from a file.
main(): Added flags --new and --old; these select which conversion is
used. The default is --new.
Several fixes have been made in the old conversion as well; these were
done before writing & switching to the new conversion, and should be
archived.
The next checkin of this file will discard the old conversion; is is
kept in this checkin to allow it to be retrieved if needed, and to
avoid lossing the bugfixes that have been made to it in the interim.

Conversion specification, used by a new path through latex2esis.py.

The specific markup conversion is coded here instead of an even more
cryptic table in the code of latex2esis.py.
1999-07-29 22:03:11 +00:00
478a265057
Minor update.
1999-07-29 22:01:39 +00:00
c35367e439
Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the
...
new markup makes sense in context).
These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.
1999-07-29 13:56:41 +00:00

Add support for bzip2 compression.

Add support for bzip2 using --bzip2.

1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
7dbde51f97
Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
...
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).

Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
...
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.
