including the howtos in the build process.
* Put LaTeX output in ../paper-<whatever>/.
* Put HTML output in ../html/
* Explain some of the Makefile variables
* Remove some cruft dating to my environment (e.g. the 'web' target)
This makefile isn't currently invoked by the documentation build process,
so these changes won't destabilize anything.
('[' and ']' were not accepted in unquoted attribute values)
- cleaned up tests of character and entity reference decoding so the
tests cover the documented relationships among handle_charref,
handle_entityref, convert_charref, convert_codepoint, and
convert_entityref, without bringing up Unicode issues that sgmllib
cannot be involved in
both a subclass of Warning and a subclass of types.ClassType. The latter is no
longer true thanks to new-style exceptions.
Closes bug #1510580. Thanks to AMK for the test.
The problem of checking too eagerly for recursive calls is the
following: if a RuntimeError is caused by recursion, and if code needs
to normalize it immediately (as in the 2nd test), then
PyErr_NormalizeException() needs a call to the RuntimeError class to
instantiate it, and this hits the recursion limit again... causing
PyErr_NormalizeException() to never finish.
Moved this particular recursion check to slot_tp_call(), which is not
involved in instantiating built-in exceptions.
Backport candidate.
constructor, meaning it is treated as *args, not as a single argument. This
means using the 'message' attribute won't work (until Py3K comes around),
and so one must grab from 'arg' to get the error number.
os.environ (setting envar COLUMNS), which at least caused
test_float_default() to fail if the tests were run more than once.
This repairs the test_optparse -R failures Neal reported on
python-dev. It also explains some seemingly bizarre test_optparse
failures we saw a couple weeks ago on the buildbots, when
test_optparse failed due to test_file failing to clean up after
itself, and then test_optparse failed in an entirely different
way when regrtest's -w option ran test_optparse a second time.
It's now obvious that make_parser() permanently changing os.environ
was responsible for the second half of that.
Fix doctest example.
Mention in the tutorial that 'errcheck' is explained in the ref manual.
Use better wording in some places.
Remoce code examples that shouldn't be in the tutorial.
Remove some XXX notices.
