Fred Drake c55ae4b98c Clean up the use of version numbers in filenames; always use an "abstract"
version number, and explain what it is at the top of the chapter.
This closes SF bug #225003.
2002-04-19 04:04:57 +00:00
Fred Drake c63042bcc4 Move the listing of the type structure, since both the C API reference and
the Extending & Embedding manual use it.
2002-04-15 18:43:20 +00:00

Add a hyperlink to a related section in the Python/C API reference.
2002-04-12 19:08:31 +00:00
Fred Drake e77e5ef2af Change example of retrieving & calling a Python function to not use
PyModule_GetDict(), which is also more flexible: it does not assume that the
"module" is a real module.
2002-04-12 19:04:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 292da58a5c Change the type of the tp_dealloc back to what it really is.
Change a section title to fit in better.
2002-04-12 18:28:08 +00:00

Fred Drake 68304ccce3 Move reference material on PyArg_Parse*() out of the Extending & Embedding
document to the C API reference.  Move some instructional text from the API
reference to the Extending & Embedding manual.

Fix the descriptions of the es and es# formats for PyArg_Parse*().
This closes SF bug #536516.
2002-04-05 23:01:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 9651198db4 Remove weird spacing in typeset version of the chapter head. 2002-04-05 19:54:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 103b548a76 Add a note warning against semicolons following PyObject_HEAD.
Minor cleanups.
2002-04-02 15:42:46 +00:00
Fred Drake d764b0a484 There is no PyArg_ConvertTuple(); call it by the right name.
This closes SF bug #537511.
2002-04-01 23:12:25 +00:00
Fred Drake fe5a5388c3 Use the right types for a couple of fields of the type structure. 2002-03-29 22:46:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ffd14c9ea Started updating information about defining attributes on types.
There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real
content in the docs.
2002-03-29 22:45:28 +00:00
Fred Drake b1af6376e9 Mark a couple of types that had not been marked. 2002-03-28 23:46:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f9a34da2c Added comments for more entries of the type structure in the example
type implementation.
2002-03-28 23:45:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ab0a10913 The new files included by \verbatiminput in newtypes.tex. 2002-03-28 23:32:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 81b750d467 Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, and
include them using \verbatiminput.  This has the advantage that pages
can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than
a page won't get cut off.

Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency.

Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first
arg.

Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.
2002-03-28 23:12:09 +00:00
Fred Drake e9fba9188e Added index entries. 2002-03-28 22:36:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 31f8483eef Allow a page break in a code longish example. 2002-03-28 20:19:23 +00:00

This closes SF bug #420851.
2002-03-13 03:55:11 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 27761f39a5 Patch #500136: Update Update ext build documentation. 2.2.1 candidate. 2002-03-09 10:06:14 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 8fbd4a3e78 That hasn't been my email address for a while! 2002-01-16 14:55:05 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 3e3eacb5fc Fixed "u#" parser marker to pass through Unicode objects as-is without
going through the buffer interface API.

Added tests for this to the _testcapi module and updated docs.
2002-01-09 16:21:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f29319197 Replace the "Cookbook approach" with the approach documented in
PC/example_nt/readme.txt; this one does not rely on any external scripts.
This "fixes" SF bug #221671 and most of SF bug #225003.
2001-12-13 17:20:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 145b479508 Added discussion of protecting against screwing up the exception state in
an object's deallocator, including an example of how to do this.
2001-12-11 19:28:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 44b3f76adf More info about the cycle detector. 2001-12-07 17:57:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 874c4f0f99 Trivial spelling repair on new cyclic garbage text. 2001-12-07 17:51:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 024e647972 Added more information about reference counting limitations and the cycle
detector.
This closes SF bug #484950.
2001-12-07 17:30:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 92024d1a99 Clarify the description of the creation of an owned reference from an API
function.
This closes SF bug #486657.
2001-11-29 07:16:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 99181ac64e Add an index entry for the discussion of PyEval_CallObject().
This is related to SF bug #485165.
2001-11-29 05:02:34 +00:00
Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
2001-11-28 07:26:15 +00:00
Fred Drake ef6373a4f6 Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, and
always fill in all slots of table entries.
Fixed a few minor markup errors.
2001-11-17 06:50:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 0aa811c527 Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate. 2001-10-20 04:24:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7a59445e37 Document required return values -1, 0, 1 for tp_compare handler, as
suggested in SF patch #424475.  Also document exception return.
2001-10-16 20:32:05 +00:00
Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
2001-09-30 05:09:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ab0ac7cd4 Remove comment that no longer applies. 2001-09-26 22:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 396ca574dd Document the rule that Python.h must be included before any standard
headers.  This is the final checkin for SF bug #458768.
2001-09-06 16:30:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 9b88b4c9e8 Do not #include <stdio.h> since Python.h already does that. 2001-09-06 16:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake adaca02f9e Use the standard argument convention for main(), and conform to the
Python/C style guide.
2001-09-06 16:17:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw da21ce3e31 On Fred's suggestion, convert sprintf() examples to use
PyString_FromFormat().  Also fixed one grammar problem, and a few
other mark-up issues.  Sample code not checked.
2001-08-29 01:41:58 +00:00
Fred Drake cc8f44b884 Split "Extending & Embedding" into separate files, one per chapter. 2001-08-20 19:30:29 +00:00
Fred Drake ce1650f3a5 A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slots
in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots.
Thanks!

(But there is still a lot more to write on this topic.)
Markup and organizational changes by your friendly neighborhood
documentation czar.
2001-08-15 19:07:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 53765753c4 Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed
by Albert Hofkamp.  Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.

This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.

(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)
2001-08-04 01:58:36 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 4f1cd8bdcb Patch #411138: Rename config.h to pyconfig.h. Closes bug #231774. 2001-07-26 13:41:06 +00:00
