* Do not mask the name of a built-in function in example code.Fred Drake2002-01-051-1/+1
| | | | Based on comment sent to python-docs.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Doc and NEWS changes due to Jeremy adding traceback objects to gc.Tim Peters2001-10-231-1/+4
|
* Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate.Fred Drake2001-10-201-4/+4

| | | | | | | Minor local consistency adjustments. A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description. For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become hyperlinks in the HTML version.

| | | | | | | | Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module. New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook. Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back to calling PyErr_Display directly. Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.

* Rewrote the section on sys.exit(), documenting other argument typesGuido van Rossum1998-11-231-6/+18
