* Don’t quote characters twice.Éric Araujo2011-08-181-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | ``code`` markup is enough to mark command-line fragments or to talk about a character. ``'c'`` is still used for actual Python string objects. I did a similar change in optparse.rst in r86521. I’ve also ported two minor changes from the 3.3 version of the file (removing an unnecessary module name in a class directive, adding a comma).

* Minor improvements to BadZipFile and BadZipfile docs.Éric Araujo2011-08-181-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | I made the doc for the compat alias BadZipfile shorter and used a directive to document deprecation. I figured there was no point of talking about zipfile.error (“the old name” that’s older than the other old name BadZipfile) in the 3.x docs so I just removed it.

| * Add documentation for PEP 370 features in distutils (#10745).Éric Araujo2011-08-061-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This started out as an easy task, just add a section describing this alternate scheme, but I found a lot of cleanup to do along the way: - fixed inverted reST targets - fixed entries for modules (hi abiflags!) or data files - avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times - added missing entries for C headers locations - added documentation for --install-lib - fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs) - fixed some markup The paths fixes were done with an eye on the source code in the install command, so they really describe what’s actually done. The situation on Mac OS X is rather messy: the fix for #8084 touched site and sysconfig, but distutils doesn’t use these files. I suspect we have a mismatched stdlib at the moment, and the fix is not even clear (see the bug report for further discussion).
| * Improve documentation for PEP 370 support in site module (#8617).Éric Araujo2011-08-051-36/+86
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | site.USER_BASE and site.USER_SITE are now fully documented. PEP 370 is outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find the right values to document for Mac OS X. The command-line interface of the site module, partly documented in the 3.2 What’s New, is fully described in the module docs. The purpose of the usercustomize module is explained in the site docs, with a gentle introduction in the tutorial (right after the section that talks about PYTHONSTARTUP; a comment mentions it should be moved from the tutorial to another file, but that will be another bug). Various markup and wording improvements were made along the way in the site module docs. Duplicate and incomplete declarations of environment variables have also been removed (the original bug report was actually about these entries :). The site module docs are still a bit messy; I’ll see about improving them for #11553. All these sections are copiously interlinked and findable from the doc indexes.
