Guido van Rossum 3593e5c4c3 Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object. 1997-12-02 19:15:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0f280b6099 Use $LOGNAME instead of $USER to get the current user -- it seems to
be the state of the art.

Barry Warsaw 433c8ca328 Removed Queue.py. It's documented now. 1997-12-01 16:35:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 798654fc68 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing
the documentation here.
1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 330c660f66 The dependency of tarhtml on l2h was a bad idea. 1997-11-26 15:31:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied
to get the actual prompt).
1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 84cca446f2 Added utility target tarhtml to tar and gzip the HTML files plus their
support (GIFS, icons, style sheets).
1997-11-25 20:49:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28fbe4dcd2 Adding the icons used by latex2html output to the CVS tree. 1997-11-25 20:14:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 628b4085b5 Ignore html files generated by webmaker. 1997-11-25 20:10:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 000eb0a138 Augmented the script so that (at CNRI anyway) it also invokes webmaker
to create the HTML.
1997-11-25 20:10:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4323f7c7fd Simple index for the reference manuals (mostly for use on the Windows
platform).
1997-11-25 18:27:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 71ace95e12 Updated to the most pressing 1.5 issues. 1997-11-25 18:20:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 580aa8dbc3 Several changes, e.g. restructuring of the intro to be closer to what
it ought to be.  Maybe the last checkin before 1.5b1 is released.
1997-11-25 15:34:51 +00:00
Fred Drake cb91e7bbd3 Added the "italic correction" command ("\/") to the list of ignored commands.
There is at least one of there in the library reference, and this reduces
the warning count.  We *do* know what to do with it!
1997-11-25 04:06:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation;
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5b7220f7ee Oops, did the previous delete the wrong way. 1997-11-25 00:05:12 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module.
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the

Guido van Rossum d7dc2eb708 Put {} around \^ in sets to force latex2html to do the right thing... 1997-10-22 03:03:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 828a0bdb1d count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find
to use the same, better words to explain start/end.
1997-10-20 22:40:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 871cf161f1 Documented exc_info(); also updated exc_type and last_type docs. 1997-10-20 22:38:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 2950b2d881 Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the math

1997-10-13 22:06:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dcc5a94c5 Add support for ctypedesc, cvardesc, seealso, seemodule, seetext.
This seems to take care of everything but tables and equations.
