Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionadded

Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
...
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).
This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard

b9ad228798
Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
...
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.
There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.
2001-04-07 05:41:39 +00:00

Note missing explanation
2001-03-26 13:34:53 +00:00
c8da0f966f
Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a

2001-03-23 17:09:02 +00:00
3e8f921fb9
Lots of small changes to make this work with the Python DOM bindings
...
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.
Only write the output file on success -- this avoids updating the timestamp
on the file on failure, which confuses "make".
2001-03-23 17:01:47 +00:00
2262a80fb3
Pick up the "encode" function from esistools instead of defining our own

...
statement".

Re-write to no longer depend on an old version of PyXML. This now
...
implements a SAX XMLReader interface instead of the old Builder interface

Pick the "escape" function from the standard library instead of from PyXML.

Add sys.excepthook.
...
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back

(Based on reader comment!)
2001-03-08 22:46:41 +00:00
9eb41557ef
Add more font flavors for <var> elements; the previous incarnation caused

some NT/IE5.5 users to see only boxes for these characters. This might be
specific to NT Service Pack 6.

2001-03-06 07:22:16 +00:00
67fdaa4883
Correct typos in Ping's email address.
...
Remove premature use of negative indexes in string operation examples;
negative indexes have not been explained at that point, and the use of
negative indexes are not necessary for the examples.

Revise the scripts I use to update the documentation on the SourceForge
...
site. These now seem (slightly) more reliable, and easier to work with
since update-docs.sh no longer needs to be installed ahead of time on
my account at SF.

Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's

thought that was a leak.

Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, and
...
not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was
specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an
"About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the
page footers use that as the target.

anyway.
