* Move reference material on PyArg_Parse*() out of the Extending & EmbeddingFred Drake2002-04-053-375/+115
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Remove weird spacing in typeset version of the chapter head.Fred Drake2002-04-051-1/+1
|
* Add a note warning against semicolons following PyObject_HEAD.Fred Drake2002-04-021-5/+9
| | | | Minor cleanups.
* There is no PyArg_ConvertTuple(); call it by the right name.Fred Drake2002-04-011-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #537511.
* Use the right types for a couple of fields of the type structure.Fred Drake2002-03-291-2/+2
|
* Started updating information about defining attributes on types.Fred Drake2002-03-291-7/+171
| | | | | There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real content in the docs.
* Mark a couple of types that had not been marked.Fred Drake2002-03-281-5/+5
|
* Added comments for more entries of the type structure in the exampleFred Drake2002-03-281-19/+19

* The new files included by \verbatiminput in newtypes.tex.Fred Drake2002-03-282-0/+134
|
* Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, andFred Drake2002-03-281-148/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Added index entries.Fred Drake2002-03-281-0/+4
|
* Allow a page break in a code longish example.Fred Drake2002-03-281-1/+3
|
* Describe how to support the iterator protocol in extension types.Fred Drake2002-03-131-4/+60
| | | | This closes SF bug #420851.
* Patch #500136: Update Update ext build documentation. 2.2.1 candidate.Martin v. Löwis2002-03-094-190/+148

* That hasn't been my email address for a while!Michael W. Hudson2002-01-161-1/+1

* Fixed "u#" parser marker to pass through Unicode objects as-is withoutMarc-André Lemburg2002-01-091-0/+2
| | | | | | going through the buffer interface API. Added tests for this to the _testcapi module and updated docs.
* Replace the "Cookbook approach" with the approach documented inFred Drake2001-12-131-15/+166
| | | | | 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.
* Added discussion of protecting against screwing up the exception state inFred Drake2001-12-111-0/+48

* More info about the cycle detector.Guido van Rossum2001-12-071-2/+4
|
* Trivial spelling repair on new cyclic garbage text.Tim Peters2001-12-071-2/+2
|
* Added more information about reference counting limitations and the cycleFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+27
| | | | | detector. This closes SF bug #484950.
* Clarify the description of the creation of an owned reference from an APIFred Drake2001-11-291-5/+5
| | | | | function. This closes SF bug #486657.
* Add an index entry for the discussion of PyEval_CallObject().Fred Drake2001-11-291-8/+9
| | | | This is related to SF bug #485165.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-284-27/+27
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, andFred Drake2001-11-173-19/+25
| | | | | always fill in all slots of table entries. Fixed a few minor markup errors.
* Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate.Fred Drake2001-10-201-6/+6
|
* Document required return values -1, 0, 1 for tp_compare handler, asGuido van Rossum2001-10-161-2/+11
| | | | suggested in SF patch #424475. Also document exception return.
* SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.Tim Peters2001-09-301-0/+5
| | | | | | 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.
* Remove comment that no longer applies.Fred Drake2001-09-261-3/+0
|
* Document the rule that Python.h must be included before any standardFred Drake2001-09-061-2/+4
| | | | headers. This is the final checkin for SF bug #458768.
* Do not #include <stdio.h> since Python.h already does that.Fred Drake2001-09-061-1/+0
|
* Use the standard argument convention for main(), and conform to theFred Drake2001-09-061-1/+2
| | | | Python/C style guide.
* On Fred's suggestion, convert sprintf() examples to useBarry Warsaw2001-08-291-19/+11
| | | | | PyString_FromFormat(). Also fixed one grammar problem, and a few other mark-up issues. Sample code not checked.
* Split "Extending & Embedding" into separate files, one per chapter.Fred Drake2001-08-206-3158/+3155
|
* 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 Drake2001-08-042-1/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | 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
