108943c216
Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
...
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Removed loading of shared font stuff from howto.cls and manual.cls, moving it

Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00

From: Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To: Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual
Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.

Extend handling for \let a bit, to also allow \let\something=<character>. We
...
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character. Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.

do_cmd_let(): Simple implementation to allow \let to be used to establish
...
synonyms for macros. This supports:
\let\newname = \oldname
\let\newname\oldname
This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.

Don't run tools/toc2bkm.py unless we're building PDF.

Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path. Guido
discovered we needed this.

In package Override, use the getcwd() function from the Cwd module instead of

the one from Override.pm (part of latex2html).
Absolutize the TEXINPUTS environment variable, since we can't count on
latex2html doing it for us (even though I sent in a patch, and it really
should).
