Fred Drake b37a395231 \itembreak, \itemjoin: Remove unused macros.
\idxcode{}:  New macro; used to mark things that would be \code{} for entry
	into the index.  This allows easily switching things around for the
	font used in the index.  (O'Reilly seems to keep it all plain roman
	in the index.  Looks reasonable in the Python documentation as well.)

\*index{}:  Use \idxcode{} instead of {\codefont{}}.

Fred Drake 31c4ed75fc Remove commented-out \itembreak. 1998-02-06 22:26:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.

Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f499e09f94 Add ref to errno module. 1998-02-06 15:18:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum afcd589027 Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even method
defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in
truth (any more?).

Fred Drake 6b7fc6f267 Add *.pdf files to the clobber target (same target as *.ps). 1998-02-04 20:33:13 +00:00
Fred Drake baf700f398 Tell CVS to ignore PDF files. 1998-02-04 20:27:39 +00:00
Fred Drake b6e5032d9c Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including example
use with function name provided as well.

Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example
based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.
1998-02-04 20:26:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 126d840d1a Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversion
requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation.  ;-)  Would probably need
to be different for Windows/Mac.
1998-02-04 19:54:40 +00:00
Fred Drake b19274704f \modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" or
"standard".  This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the
	standard library.
1998-02-04 14:43:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 8aad4c80b3 Added missing "{" for "\code <?stuff?>}". 1998-02-03 23:12:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ad37e9e77d Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.
Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.

Guido van Rossum c45c2f3dc1 Add S_ISBLK(). 1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00
Fred Drake c6c921a4de Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions not
calling the Python API.
1998-01-26 19:16:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 16f88454f1 Use \url{} to mark a URL. 1998-01-22 20:47:26 +00:00
Fred Drake ff3f0d0a5c Use \url{} to mark URLs, \email{} to mark an email address. 1998-01-22 20:45:31 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6567fb3f Use \url{} to mark URLs. 1998-01-22 20:44:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 301ad2ee63 Fixed indexing of {datadesc} environments.
Removed " (byte code instruction)" from the output of the {opcodedesc}
environment; this should only appear in the index (which it now does).

Removed some really old cruft related to otherwise removed debugging code.
(I *think* assignments to $* set & clear auto-flush of <STDOUT>, but don't
really remember.  Removing them seems to not change anything!)
1998-01-22 18:14:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f02628dce \seemodule{}: Use logical markup for the module name, to ensure it picks up
any changes introduced there.  Also ensure a little more space between
	the module name and the parenthesized comment.
1998-01-22 17:43:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 7c418ed89c Added descriptions for log() and log10().
Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals.  Same for the integer part
returned by modf().

Some markup consistency changes.
1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00
Fred Drake bceaf35a63 Add support for the new macros, including hyperlink generation for \url{}. 1998-01-22 16:13:44 +00:00
Fred Drake ed79783bb2 Converted to use new macros. This example demonstrate \method{} and, more
importantly, \url{}.
1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
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).

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
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 cb42f7c295 Consistency: "{\tt ...}" ==> "\code{...}" 1998-01-20 04:55:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 9eb5e5097e Consistency: "{\it ...}" ==> "\emph{...}" 1998-01-20 04:54:23 +00:00
Fred Drake c520b695fe The soundex module is built-in, not standard.
"--" ==> "---"

Fred Drake ca12b9df7b Consistency: {\it ...} ==> \emph{...} 1998-01-20 04:43:29 +00:00
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.
1998-01-20 04:32:09 +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
Fred Drake 8095ebfc4a Consistency: Replaced 4 {\it ...} with \emph{...}. 1998-01-19 04:02:41 +00:00
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
