Fred Drake 7be0cde3a0 Add an explanation about what the example does and doesn't do.
Fix an appearantly new behavior with latex2html with quoting.  (Good
incentive to work on the SGML conversion! ;)

Fred Drake 2eff3c5273 do_cmd_rfc(): Make the "RFC ###" a hyperlink to the master RFC
repository.

Fred Drake 782c973cb9 Added libnetrc.tex and libshlex.tex to LIBFILES. 1998-12-22 17:40:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c822a453bd Add warning to Netrc's docstring that it is obsolete -- use the netrc
module instead.  (The main advantage of the latter is that it comes
with documentation.)
1998-12-22 16:49:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum de8b026148 Added shlex and netrc modules; added warning about urllib change
affecting subclasses (which Jeremy just found out).

BeOS port, both by Chris Herborth.

Guido van Rossum fdd302820e Fix for modulefinder so that it prints all modules an unknown module
was referenced in instead of only the last.  (Sjoerd Mullender)

Barry Warsaw a7d9bdfab6 A few other docstring fixes, most importantly to be a little nicer to
Emacs ;-)

Barry Warsaw 4c4bec86f4 Nothing earthshattering, just some fixes to typos and other formatting
bugs in various docstrings.

Guido van Rossum a8b47fe5c6 I can't seem to do anything right :-)
As Chris H. points out, I should have added 'extern' to the
declaration of _PyThreadState_Current.  Here it is.

Guido van Rossum 6058eb49ee Improve comment for PyImport_Import() as suggested by Bill Tutt. 1998-12-21 19:51:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 65d5b5763c Thanks to Chris Herborth, the thread primitives now have proper Py*
names in the source code (they already had those for the linker,
through some smart macros; but the source still had the old, un-Py names).

initialization -- TBD later.)

Fred Drake e848976fba Clarify descriptions of some operations; it's not always clear that
strings are not actually modified.  Problem reported by Dr. Peter
Stoehr <peter.stoehr@weihenstephan.org>.

Guido van Rossum 98c17b3aee Marc-Andre Lemburg notes about statparse():
"""
The message ID is returned lowercased and there is no way to access
the original ID the server sent. Now at least some news servers
are very picky about the case of the ID and return errors when
fetching articles with mixed case given a lowercased version
of the ID.

The solution is simple: remove the string.lower() call.
"""

(I might add that the lowercasing was probably introduced as a result
of sloppy copy-and-paste coding; there's a string.lower in a similar
piece of code a bit higher in the source, that makes more sense --
it's lowercasing the group name.)

Guido van Rossum 95864d35c6 Add dummy variable to avoid optimizer bug on OS/2 -- patch by Jeff Rush.

Guido van Rossum b55f9ff68c 100 bottles of beer on the wall example.
After a version by Fredrik Lundh that I found on the web somewhere.
(I like mine better, but of course that may have to do with my alcohol
consumption. :-)
1998-12-21 18:30:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 275ea67e6b Add macro version of PyThreadState_GET(). This uses
_PyThreadState_Current, defined in pystate.c.
1998-12-21 18:28:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 18bc7c2276 Make current_tstate a global, _PyThreadState_Current. This is to
support a macro in pystate.h.

Guido van Rossum 0b56a3e9a7 A mod whose author I forget. (I must've mislaid the email. If it's
yours, please let me know for propoer acknowledgement.)

This avoids recompiling files that haven't changed; it adds a -f
option to force recompilation.

Guido van Rossum 91c8f5901b Sjoerd Mullender:
- Fixed a bug where a syntax error was reported when a document
  started with white space.  (White space at the start of a document
  is valid if there is no XML declaration.)
- Improved the speed quite a bit for documents that don't make use of
  namespaces.

Jeremy Hylton a37e244536 patches from Andrew
NOTE: There is still a bug of some sort in the behavior of zlib.  In
at least one case, inflate returns Z_OK (which is typically
interpreted to mean that more output space is needed) when it has
finished inflating a buffer.  This has been reported as a bug to the
zlib maintainers; we may need to change the Python interface.

This version supports XML namespaces.
