Add the script directory to the path.
Fix the sanity checks on the arguments so they don't mess up the -m
option; remove the requirement that the script must have a .py
extension.
Frozen packages are indicated by a negative size (the code string
is the __import__.py file). A frozen package module has its __path__
set to a string, the package name.
We have a whole new module finder that uses the actual Python
parser and scans the bytecode for IMPORT_NAME and IMPORT_FROM.
This requires some support in import.c (that hasn't been checked in).
New command line options for this: -d, -q, -m.
Chunk.__repr__(), main(): Allow Chunk objects to get the buffer, to make the
representation contain text instead of a pair of indexes. This makes debugging
a little easier.
get some funky quoting of ']' in \item[...] to work right without having to
do really ugly things to the documents themselves.
There are a lot of things relating to indexing that are commented out;
parts need to be examined and dealt with with respect to changes in
LaTeX2HTML internals. I'll work with Ross to see what it takes to make
this sort of stuff reasonable.
order. LaTeX2HTML just doesn't do things the same way as LaTeX, and this
wasn't the fix.
Simplify the generated HTML for \file{}.
For \samp{}, use "..." instead of `...'; many fonts make that look pretty
bad. ;-(
time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx(). Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.
Potential problems:
- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.
- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement. We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary. Both seem unwarranted. The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run. I say, "too bad."
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.
