Fred Drake 7fc8abb396 Remove comments about XML and HTML; those sections are no
longer part of this chapter.

Minor change to match the style guide.
2001-07-14 02:44:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 9120df388c Add a little more information about the usage of some terms where the
style guide can use a little clarification, and present some minor
specific markup.

Make a few adjustments to conform to the style guide.

Fred Drake 3d97e35a20 Add entry for xmlrpclib documentation. 2001-07-12 23:40:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ddf7adf84 Several markup adjustments so this will format and be more consistent with
the rest of the documnentation.
2001-07-12 23:39:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 602cf584be Generate a more meaningful message regarding the type of the documentation
release being discussed.

Fred Drake f4bdb57e15 Fix return value for m.group() for groups not in the part of the RE that
matched; reported by Paul Moore.

Wrapped several long lines.

Guido van Rossum bf5a774bcb On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
instead of raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The
other one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch
#440487.
2001-07-12 11:27:16 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond e304bb9eec First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,
could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented.  But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.

Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff!  You both need to proof this.
2001-07-12 02:39:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 682d5f3cda Follow the recommended practices for keystroke representation; this
improves internal consistency in the documentation.
2001-07-12 02:09:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 07178d237a For \kbd, be more prescriptive regarding how keystrokes should be
written.
2001-07-12 02:08:29 +00:00
Fred Drake fa774872b8 Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section on
concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler.

This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037.
2001-07-11 20:35:37 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 7bf8277e98 Note addition of xmlrpclib
Comment out descr-branch section
Update e-mail address
    (Time to begin writing this...)
2001-07-11 18:54:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 9bbc933fcb Added information about the timeout parameter to the poll() method for
polling objects.  This closes SF bug #439823.

Fixed a minor markup bug.
2001-07-11 18:48:39 +00:00
Fred Drake d854831ddd Corrected the refcount information for PyList_SET_ITEM(). 2001-07-10 16:19:13 +00:00
Fred Drake bab2965c7c Document PyObject_New(), PyObject_NewVar(), PyObject_Init(),
PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(),
PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL().

Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers
not being initialized.

This fixes SF bug #439012.


Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString().  Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().

Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and
PyLong_AsUnignedLong().

This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037.


Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.

Document _Py_NoneStruct.

Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().

Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.

Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
2001-07-10 16:10:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 12060e5ed3 Added descriptions for some modules that previously did not have any
information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.
2001-07-10 14:19:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 67f193faab Add a little bit more about the XML migration plan. This still needs a lot
of work, but mostly it needs time spent doing the work to make the
generated XML useful.
2001-07-09 16:04:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 03e88da81b Add conversion information for the grammar production support (preliminary). 2001-07-09 15:00:42 +00:00
Thomas Wouters e30ac57038 Fix for SF bug #436525, reported by Greg Kochanski:
The block/unblock thread macros are called 'Py_BLOCK_THREADS' and
'Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS', not 'Py_BEGIN_BLOCK_THREADS' and
'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.
2001-07-09 14:35:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 44835d8e7a Move & update a comment.
Add support for the \ulink macro.
2001-07-07 06:00:36 +00:00
Fred Drake de6dc1e11c Change the way notification mails are sent so people who respond to the
update announcements do not get bounces from trying to send mail to my
laptop, which has an identity crisis due to constant relocation.
2001-07-06 23:45:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e0c09da62 More reference count information. 2001-07-06 23:31:49 +00:00
Fred Drake cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.
2001-07-06 22:49:53 +00:00
Fred Drake b2d1006272 Update the description of how to start an interpreter and determine the
installation prefix and exec_prefix for Windows.
2001-07-06 22:46:52 +00:00
Fred Drake b4b64daa5e Add \ulink, grammar production markup. 2001-07-06 22:44:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 77602f2e32 Add support for \ulink and hyperlink grammars.
do_cmd_verbatiminput():  Write out a text file containing the content of the
    input file with a .txt extension, and add a link to it at the bottom of
    the presentation.  This easier retrieval of example source code for
    copy & paste use.
2001-07-06 22:43:02 +00:00
Fred Drake bde8d1c8af Revise a comment about styles I don't think LaTeX2HTML can generate,
but which came from their default stylesheet.

Add styles for the new hyperlinked grammar productions.
2001-07-06 22:37:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 432cef0d0b Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. This
includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked
grammar productions.

Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means
we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up
ourselves.
2001-07-06 22:34:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 238858fc51 Packaged versions of the HTML format need to include any .txt files that
were generated by the use of the productionlist environment or the
\verbatiminput macro.
2001-07-06 22:28:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 7e79b9e1cc More names, yay! 2001-07-06 22:27:04 +00:00

Fred Drake dde993c15d Simplification to mirror a better conversion specification and more
powerful latex2esis.py.
2001-07-06 21:03:30 +00:00
Fred Drake b5fc0ab099 Allow optional arguments to LaTeX macros to span lines. This is legal in
LaTeX and we have at least one occurance of that in the content, so this
script needs to support it as well.
2001-07-06 21:01:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make

Fred Drake ab1df4fe88 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Add an index entry for the Telnet protocol.

Always refer to the protocol as Telnet instead of telnet.

Fred Drake 45c23e61d8 Explain the exit code for the wait() method, including a reference to
the os.W*() functions used to interpret the return value.

This fixes SF bug #429361.

2001-07-06 06:49:32 +00:00
Fred Drake bcd1df746d The fpectl module does not work on Windows, so remove Windows from the
\platform statement.

Also fix a minor style consistency nit in an example.
2001-07-05 21:17:08 +00:00
Fred Drake a939911345 Fix a markup error: do not omit a method's parameter list if it is
empty.
2001-07-05 21:14:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 25211f5724 Added more information on the differences between the htmllib and HTMLParser
modules.

Guido van Rossum 5fe2c139d5 List constraints on xrange() objects. 2001-07-05 15:27:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
