* Remove outdated FOX from GUI FAQ (GH-2538)Berker Peksag2017-07-041-9/+0
| | | | | | | | FXpy doesn't have a Python 3 port and it only supports Python 2.2 and older versions. Reported by Alex Walters on docs@p.o. (cherry picked from commit d3ed2877a798d07df75422afe136b4727e500c99)
* Change some mercurial/ hg.python.org references. (#8) (#184)Senthil Kumaran2017-02-201-3/+3

* Backport35 doc fixes: PR#68 and PR#124 (#125) (#126)Victor Stinner2017-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Travis CI: run rstlint.py in the docs job (#68) Currently, http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/ware-docs buildbot is only run as post-commit. For example, bpo-29521 (PR#41) introduced two warnings, unnotified by the Travis CI docs job. Modify the docs job to run toosl/rstlint.py. Fix also the two minor warnings which causes the buildbot slave to fail. (cherry picked from commit 2b501866ed493758e4c4b29f0ce9b24023d910a1) * Doc/Makefile: set PYTHON to python3 (#124) rstlint.py run by "make check" doesn't support Python 2. "make venv" runs "$(PYTHON) -m venv", whereas Python 2 doens't provide the venv module: it's a module of Python 3 standard library. (cherry picked from commit 91b0e7d0ca7c59df28f6a6fc1e8eb86a3925b76c) (cherry picked from commit b300c660d34d2027d443098ea605a8e0eb51d383)
* bpo-29521 Fix two minor documentation build warnings (#41) (#84)Mariatta2017-02-141-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Much of bpo-29521 was fixed in parallel with commit e7ffb99 . This cleans up the rest. Apply parallel change to Doc/make.bat to read "set SPHINXOPTS=-D latex_elements.papersize=" I don't have a Windows system on which to observe the warning, but it should be necessary. The warning: .../workspace/cpython_github/Doc/faq/windows.rst:303: WARNING: unknown option: -t In the Windows FAQ, `How do I keep editors from inserting tabs into my Python source?`, contained a reference to a Python -t option. In Python 2.x, this caused Python to issue warnings about lines with mixed spaces and tabs, but as of Python 3.6 it does nothing. Per discussion at http://bugs.python.org/issue29387, take their wording. Python [3] raises an IndentationError or TabError. Tabnanny is now a module. (cherry picked from commit 3d707be950b387552585451071928e7b39cdfa53)

* #20135: FAQ entry for list mutation. (See also 6375bf34fff6.)R David Murray2014-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | I accidentally committed this in 6375bf34fff6; this changeset addresses the last review comments on the patch. This is a perennial question and something someone opens a ticket for probably every other month or so, so I'm surprised we didn't already have a FAQ entry for it. The original patch was written by M. Votz, refined first by Ezio Melotti and further refined by me.
