Add some index entries; switch to logical markup.

65b32f7f74
Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different
...
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

Do the right magic to make \ABC{} get sorted correctly in the index.

Do the right magic to make \UNIX{} get sorted correctly in the index.

Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No other
...
changes.
1998-02-09 19:16:20 +00:00
b16166e56f
Add macros to insert RFC references much like the \manpage{} macro. Also a
...
macro to insert an RFC index reference.
(RFC references were formatted three different ways.)
1998-02-09 19:14:54 +00:00
8083c176a3
Add a note about rounding up of readlines()' sizehint to 8K.
1998-02-08 22:51:09 +00:00
6e91c6a344
Document getrefcount().

b37a395231
\itembreak, \itemjoin: Remove unused macros.
...
\idxcode{}: New macro; used to mark things that would be \code{} for entry
into the index. This allows easily switching things around for the
font used in the index. (O'Reilly seems to keep it all plain roman
in the index. Looks reasonable in the Python documentation as well.)
\*index{}: Use \idxcode{} instead of {\codefont{}}.
1998-02-06 22:52:52 +00:00
31c4ed75fc
Remove commented-out \itembreak.
1998-02-06 22:26:04 +00:00
c660233cfb
Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
...
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.
1998-02-06 22:19:23 +00:00
8e1e68de49
Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error.
1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00
f499e09f94
Add ref to errno module.
1998-02-06 15:18:05 +00:00
afcd589027
Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even method
...
defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in
truth (any more?).
1998-02-05 19:59:39 +00:00
6b7fc6f267
Add *.pdf files to the clobber target (same target as *.ps).
1998-02-04 20:33:13 +00:00
baf700f398
Tell CVS to ignore PDF files.
1998-02-04 20:27:39 +00:00
b6e5032d9c
Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including example
...
use with function name provided as well.
Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example
based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.
1998-02-04 20:26:31 +00:00
126d840d1a
Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversion
...
requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation. ;-) Would probably need
to be different for Windows/Mac.
1998-02-04 19:54:40 +00:00
b19274704f
\modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" or
...
"standard". This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the
standard library.
1998-02-04 14:43:36 +00:00
8aad4c80b3
Added missing "{" for "\code <?stuff?>}".
1998-02-03 23:12:13 +00:00

Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.
...
Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.
1998-02-02 03:01:10 +00:00
c45c2f3dc1
Add S_ISBLK().
1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
02505e4850
New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
...
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)
This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
7570669a08
Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative
...
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00
c6c921a4de
Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions not
...
calling the Python API.
1998-01-26 19:16:27 +00:00

Use \url{} to mark a URL.
1998-01-22 20:47:26 +00:00

Use \url{} to mark URLs, \email{} to mark an email address.

Use \url{} to mark URLs.
1998-01-22 20:44:18 +00:00
301ad2ee63
Fixed indexing of {datadesc} environments.
...
Removed " (byte code instruction)" from the output of the {opcodedesc}
environment; this should only appear in the index (which it now does).
Removed some really old cruft related to otherwise removed debugging code.
(I *think* assignments to $* set & clear auto-flush of <STDOUT>, but don't
really remember. Removing them seems to not change anything!)
1998-01-22 18:14:39 +00:00
0f02628dce
\seemodule{}: Use logical markup for the module name, to ensure it picks up
...
any changes introduced there. Also ensure a little more space between
the module name and the parenthesized comment.
1998-01-22 17:43:15 +00:00
7c418ed89c
Added descriptions for log() and log10().
...
Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals. Same for the integer part
returned by modf().
Some markup consistency changes.
1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00
bceaf35a63
Add support for the new macros, including hyperlink generation for \url{}.
1998-01-22 16:13:44 +00:00
ed79783bb2
Converted to use new macros. This example demonstrate \method{} and, more
...
importantly, \url{}.
1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
55f4492859
Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new
...
constructs should be used.
1998-01-22 15:56:41 +00:00
dd28d57fd0
Revised new macros after discussion with Guido: Always use full names of
...
semantic concepts.
Added two new ones (not discussed with Guido:
\constant{}: Markup for constants defined in Python modules.
\cfunction{}: Markup for C functions; these should probably be distinguished
by font, but are not at this time (since they're typically \code{} at
this point).
1998-01-22 15:55:21 +00:00

Add entry for copy_reg module.
1998-01-21 05:04:52 +00:00

Removed entry for copy_reg module.
1998-01-21 05:00:28 +00:00

$(LIBFILES): Added libcopyreg.tex.
1998-01-21 04:59:44 +00:00

Add entry for copy_reg module.
1998-01-21 04:58:39 +00:00
1abf0df5b4
Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.
...
Guido, you should probably look at this. The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
1998-01-21 04:58:10 +00:00
d1cc9c2b92
Update comment about relative URL internet draft to reflect current RFC status;
...
index references the appropriate RFCs.
Consistency: Always use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-21 04:55:02 +00:00
61b0452626
Added a bunch of "concept" index entries.
...
Use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-20 05:52:23 +00:00
a46f84d293
Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in the
...
normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
73a973bf8d
Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in the
...
tables: \var{}
Add a couple of index entries to the File Objects section.
1998-01-20 05:20:39 +00:00
cbe50f4829
Removed bogus index entry for the type() built-in.
...
Marked title of the Python Reference Manual as \emph{}, like other Python
manual titles.
1998-01-20 05:12:36 +00:00
311c19688d
Proposed new macros: see comments. These are not yet used.
...
These are intended to support semantic markup. There are a number
of places in the documentation where the exact meaning of an
indentifier marked \code{} in the running text is ambiguous (could
be a module or a class, a function or a method, etc.). These are
intended to clarify the intent of the identifier for processing
applications and more intelligent style processing.
