* Patch #500136: Update Update ext build documentation. 2.2.1 candidate.Martin v. Löwis2002-03-091-1/+1
|
* Split "Extending & Embedding" into separate files, one per chapter.Fred Drake2001-08-201-3158/+5
|
* A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slotsFred Drake2001-08-151-6/+385
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributedFred Drake2001-08-041-1/+243
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.)
* Patch #411138: Rename config.h to pyconfig.h. Closes bug #231774.Martin v. Löwis2001-07-261-2/+2
|
* Corrected a section reference (title was wrong).Fred Drake2001-07-201-5/+8
| | | | | Added information on the return values of PyArg_ParseTuple() and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
* Minor change to match the style guide.Fred Drake2001-07-141-1/+1
|
* Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these makeFred Drake2001-07-061-22/+22
| | | | | translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.
* Update to include the license information in a less annoying place.Fred Drake2001-06-201-0/+3
|
* Added new parser markers 'et' and 'et#' which do not recode stringMarc-André Lemburg2001-05-021-0/+12

* Markup nit: For the Python documents, we use \empt instead of \textit.Fred Drake2001-03-191-1/+1
|
* Py_BuildValue(): Add "D" conversion to create a Python complex value fromFred Drake2001-03-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | a Py_complex C value. Patch by Walter Dörwald. This closes SF patch #407148.
* There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.Fred Drake2001-03-021-4/+9
| | | | | (There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed post-beta.)
* There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the commentsFred Drake2001-03-021-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case. Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader thought that was a leak. Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.
* Michael Hudson <mwh21@cam.ac.uk>:Fred Drake2001-02-191-9/+440
| | | | | | New material on defining extension types. Thanks! (Small markup adjustments made, but this is mostly as received.)
* Worked around bug SF #125880: changed the text of three sections thatFred Drake2001-01-221-3/+3
| | | | really nasty TeX source to "bleed" into the PDF "bookmarks".
* Corrected a number of typos reported by Gilles CivarioFred Drake2000-11-171-12/+3
| | | | | | <gcivario@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122562.
* Fix cut & paste error that describes three paramters when there are onlyFred Drake2000-11-021-4/+3
| | | | | | | two [bug #119729]. Update use of distutils.sysconfig that "broke" when Greg W. changed the API [bug #119645].
* All acknowledgements have been moved to the Doc/ACKS file.Fred Drake2000-10-261-25/+21
| | | | | | | Adjusted to reflect the rename of Setup.in to Setup.dist. Added pointer to the "Distributing Python Modules" manual in the appropriate place.
* Added some comments on the interaction of reload() and extension modules.Fred Drake2000-10-021-1/+6
| | | | Based on comments from Chris Barker <cbarker@jps.net>.
* Include the new text on reporting bugs in a few useful places.Fred Drake2000-09-211-0/+5
| | | | This closes SourceForge bug #114792.
* Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:Marc-André Lemburg2000-09-211-4/+4
| | | | | | | | "s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16 data. The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().
* Add a brief section on linking Python as an embedded scripting language.Fred Drake2000-09-081-0/+37
| | | | This closes SourceForge bug #110833.
* Markup errors: \cfuntion -> \cfunctionFred Drake2000-08-111-3/+3

* Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:Fred Drake2000-05-031-0/+28
| | | | | | | Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE * buffer plus a length with the '#'. Also added an analog to 'U' for Py_BuildValue.
