\| \| \| \| \|	(with only minor changes by Fred). This closes SF bug #498607.
*	Close an improperly-closed verbatim environment.	Fred Drake	2001-12-26	1	-3/+6
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This closes SF patch #496215. Add a little more detail to the example that had not been closed. Bugfix: this should be made part of 2.2.1.

These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now only used when needed.

\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should always be sequences of length 2). dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2- sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too. Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping" to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>. abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function, much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size. libfuncs.tex: - Document dictionary(). - Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional. - The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object", where the definition of that could include being explicit about generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call). - Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>. abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
*	Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manual	Fred Drake	2001-10-12	1	-0/+842
	has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs settings. Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.
