Fred Drake 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
Fred Drake 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).

Barry Warsaw f06777dd7c (py-outdent-p): When looking at the previous line, watch out for
continuation lines.  This fixes this bug report, reported by Frank
Stajano.

# But if I split the "raise" line and reindent, the else WRONGLY goes up a
# level (?!?)

while condition1:
    if condition2:
        raise error3, \
              moreInfo4
else: # meant to close "if condition2"
    action5()

Barry Warsaw 9ec9fbc355 (py-goto-initial-line): Shut up the byte compiler. 1998-01-21 05:15:57 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 82aecb9d66 (py-mode-map): Add a binding of C-m to py-newline-and-indent. This is
a religious issue: RMS decrees that the Enter (RET) key should just do
a newline and a LFD (C-j) should do a newline and indent (i.e. the
python-mode version of this).  Almost everyone I know disagrees and
finds that RET should do newline and indent.  Almost everyone hacks
their modes to do this, if they know how.  Because it's hard for
newbies to figure out how to do this, and because most DOS keyboards
lack a LFD (leaving users to the more obscure C-j), I think it makes
better sense to add this default binding.

Fred Drake 0f35495563 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 05:04:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 6eb9f10063 Removed entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 05:00:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 251fed3e56 $(LIBFILES): Added libcopyreg.tex. 1998-01-21 04:59:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d754437d4 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 04:58:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 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  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the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
Fred Drake 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
Barry Warsaw c210e69981 (py-compute-indentation): In the most common case, where indentation
is based on the line above, watch out for landing inside a triple
quoted string.  In this case, use iterative search +
parse-partial-sexp backwards to find the beginning of the string.

Note this does affect performance, but very little in the common cases
(I hope).  It could be made *much* faster by adding Emacs and XEmacs
dependent code -- different code naturally.  :-(

Fixes the following reported bug:

if len(sys.argv) >= 6:
    # More lines here
    fptr = open('/etc/hosts', 'w')
    fptr.write("""# /etc/hosts -- autocreated by /etc/ppp/ip-up
#
# Address from pppd
%-15s	%s

# For loopbacking
127.0.0.1	localhost

255.255.255.255	broadcast
""" % (ipaddr, ipname) )

os.chmod('/etc/hosts', 0644)
1998-01-20 22:52:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0ecb53194 (py-master-file): New buffer-local variable which can be set in the
file local variable section of a file.  When set, and the user hits
C-c C-c, this file gets executed instead of the buffer's file.  Idea
given by Roy Dragseth <royd@math.uit.no>, but implemented differently.

(py-execute-buffer): Support py-master-file variable.  If this names a
relative path, default-directory is prepended via expand-file-name.
1998-01-20 21:43:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 61b0452626 Added a bunch of "concept" index entries.
Use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-20 05:52:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 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
Fred Drake 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
Fred Drake 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
Fred Drake 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.

Fred Drake c520b695fe The soundex module is built-in, not standard.
"--" ==> "---"

Fred Drake dd17d1ce62 ni is a standard module, not a built-in module. The only other reference to
it already got it right.
1998-01-20 04:40:41 +00:00
Fred Drake bac354cd80 Consistency: (Yes, I know this section is not formatted by default, and
isn't likely to be of much interest these days....)

{\tt ...} ==> \code{...}

Added \label{module-blat} for the two supporting modules.

Added index entries for referred-to modules.

Guido van Rossum 57d9f2e6ec Renamed Jim's PyErr_[JF]Format() to cPickle_ErrFormat(). It's not a
standard Python API function so it should not have a Py prefix.
1998-01-19 23:18:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 79a6a9e882 Removed a confusing note about coercions and __r*__ operators. 1998-01-19 23:16:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 46503922a0 Various updates to the effect that the group argument is always optional.
Also documented that groups() now always returns a tuple.
1998-01-19 23:14:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7d4ecb8785 Add note about dropping latex 2.09 compatibility. 1998-01-19 23:10:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c567b8176a Revamped, to match py_compile.py:
- added docstrings
- support option to specify a different purported directory name
- reindented with 4 spaces
1998-01-19 23:07:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f7edadbc58 Add Gopher to list of protocols that support query strings. 1998-01-19 22:27:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e7579624ef Fix bad new bug in ftp code -- the test for existing file using NLST
would set the transfer to text mode instead of the specified mode.
1998-01-19 22:26:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ca99c2ce75 Fix to ismount(). Can't remember who told me this. 1998-01-19 22:25:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 29c4688659 Patch by Tim O'Malley for servers that send a response looking just like
HTTP/1.x 200
instead of
    HTTP/1.x 200 OK

Guido van Rossum 42e8e5d164 Protect PyErr_Format format string argument from overflow. 1998-01-19 22:23:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0d6b49eff2 Protect PyErr_Format format string argument from overflow (ironically,
the error was about a bad format string :-).
1998-01-19 22:22:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum db9351643d Instead of "attribute-less object", issue an error message that
contains the type of the object and name of the attribute.
1998-01-19 22:16:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf57d8b8c9 tok_nextc() should return unsigned characters, to avoid mistaking
'\377' for EOF.
1998-01-19 22:07:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d29806c37e Instead of a single exists(), differentiate between files, modules,
executable files, and directories.  When expecting a module, we also
look for the .pyc or .pyo file.
1998-01-19 22:06:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73bacfc3d7 Add unistd.h for isatty(). 1998-01-19 22:05:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3dacdc306e Add LOG_SYSLOG if defined. 1998-01-19 22:05:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 15af20a337 Better #ifdefs for NetBSD, taking into account that at least on netBSD
1.3, dlopen() etc. are fully implemented, including dlerror().
From Jaromir Dolecek and Ty Sarna.
1998-01-19 22:03:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4cc462e85b It seems obvious that when Py_Finalize() decides that there's nothing
to do, it should not call sys.exitfunc either...
1998-01-19 22:00:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d2dd9a8b7f Some patches by Lars Marius Garshol:
- fix type_to_name(); it never worked
- add path_to_selector()
add path_to_datatype_name()
1998-01-19 21:59:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 758eec0172 Rewritten PyImport_Cleanup() and its helper, clear_carefully(). They
now implement the following finalization strategy.

1. Whenever this code deletes a module, its directory is cleared
   carefully, as follows:
   - set all names to None that begin with exactly one underscore
   - set all names to None that don't begin with two underscores
   - clear the directory

2. Modules are deleted in the following order:
   - modules with a reference count of 1, except __builtin__ or __sys__
   - repeat until no more are found with a reference count of 1
   - __main__ if it's still there
   - all remaining modules except __builtin__ or sys
   - sys
   _ __builtin__

Fred Drake 8095ebfc4a Consistency: Replaced 4 {\it ...} with \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 04:02:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 63566e2ef2 Added docstrings.
Added an optional third parameter giving the purported filename for
error messages from the module.

Append a newline to the code string if needed.

Fred Drake 94e8f690dd Consistency: Replaced one {\tt ...} with \code{...}. 1998-01-19 02:55:11 +00:00
Fred Drake b6ce6427e8 Consistency: In two places, change {\it ...} to \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 02:51:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 53396f66c1 Consistency: In two \section{} headers, change {\tt ...} to \sectcode{...}. 1998-01-19 02:48:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e24309bb5 \funcitem{}, \dataitem{}, \excitem{}: Removed obsolete macros; there are no
longer used anywhere.  Use the {*desc} environments instead.

\var{}:  Ensure that the argument is always set in roman italic, in case an
	 alternate font is being used for code.  These keeps the result of
	 \var{} consistent.

Some minor changes to allow easier exploration of alternate fonts for code in
the running text.  Haven't changed the selected font; I haven't found one that
has everything required!  (The best non-monospaced font so far was missing
the <, >, and | characters, or at least had them at the wrong locations.  It
also allowed confusion between upper-case I and lower-case L.)
