* Document -OO; "unsafe" optimization that removes docstrings.Guido van Rossum1999-01-281-0/+9
| | | | Marc-Andre Lemburg.
* Minor clarifications by Sean Reifschneider:Guido van Rossum1999-01-061-1/+15
| | | | | - add example of string literal concatenation - add clarifying comment to the example of the if statement
* Clarified what Python versions the interactivity chapter applies to,Fred Drake1998-12-281-1/+9
| | | | and what it doesn't apply to.
* Ignore the byproducts of SGML/XML conversions for now.Fred Drake1998-12-011-0/+3
|
* Change "for" explanation slightly based on comment passed along byFred Drake1998-11-301-7/+10
| | | | Blake Winton <BlakeW@pcdocs.com>.
* Eliminate remaining \verb/.../ constructs; there's no need for them.Fred Drake1998-11-171-3/+3
|
* The last two example functions in the section about default argumentGuido van Rossum1998-10-241-2/+2
| | | | values (4.7.1) should return l, not a. Reported by Axel Boldt.
* Add a \label to the section "Fancier Output Formatting" (it's referenced fromFred Drake1998-09-111-156/+89
| | | | | | the KOE docs). Some markup nits.
* Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;Guido van Rossum1998-08-071-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | with examples and workaround. This keeps coming up, and I believe that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source of the confusion. While it didn't show examples with [] for a default, it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.
* Update to use a separate page for front matter.Fred Drake1998-07-281-0/+4
|
* In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument,Guido van Rossum1998-07-071-1/+1
| | | | change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:]. Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.
* Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.Andrew M. Kuchling1998-07-011-0/+202
| | | | | | | | The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the 'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.
* Note that no .pyc/.pyo files are created for script files.Guido van Rossum1998-06-281-0/+7
|
* There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- itGuido van Rossum1998-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works everywhere.
* Say a bit more about .pyc and .pyo files.Guido van Rossum1998-05-291-5/+35
|
* Fixed example to load the startup file from a script (didn't test for theFred Drake1998-04-131-6/+30
| | | | | | | | | | file's existance). Removed some XXX comments about extension modules which support pickling. Added text from AMK about the readline and rlcompleter modules. Thanks, AMK!
* The built-in exceptions are not still strings, so make no claims about them.Fred Drake1998-04-121-1/+0
|
* Change \sectcode to logical markup.Fred Drake1998-04-041-3/+3
|
* Normalized case rules in section headings.Fred Drake1998-04-031-84/+76
| | | | | | Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions". This means there's now a short section on "Defining Functions" immediately followed by a long section "More on Defining Functions."
* Small markup nits, a few grammatical fixes, and a clarification of the binaryFred Drake1998-04-011-59/+65
| | | | | | mode for files under MacOS. Updated the traffic figure for c.l.p in the "What Now?" chapter; see comments.
* Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generationFred Drake1998-03-031-2/+1
| | | | | | | | now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress). This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the "normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather than in each document file.
* Added \label{}s for logical addressing.Fred Drake1998-02-261-71/+142
|
* Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere.Fred Drake1998-02-131-699/+640
| | | | | | | | | Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the listing in column 0 of the file. Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft. Use more logical and less physical markup.
* "lists objects" --> "list objects" (Section "More on Lists".)Fred Drake1998-02-111-1/+1
|
* In the appendix, all sections were marked as subsections, and so had sectionFred Drake1998-02-111-4/+4
| | | | numbers "A.0.#". Fixed.
* Use \url{} to mark URLs.Fred Drake1998-01-221-6/+6
|
* Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"Fred Drake1998-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | "{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}" Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}". Leaving it for now.
* Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents.Fred Drake1998-01-131-1/+1
|
* Consistency:Fred Drake1998-01-131-34/+34
| | | | | | | | "Unix" ==> "\UNIX{}" "C" ==> "\C{}" "C++" ==> "\Cpp{}"
* Added openright option the the \documentclass{} for each of the manuals.Fred Drake1998-01-131-1/+1
|
* Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibilityFred Drake1998-01-091-8/+3
| | | | mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.
* Took out some disclaiming text (even from the title!). RewrittenGuido van Rossum1997-12-301-41/+35
| | | | | abstract. Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release :-(
* Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation.Fred Drake1997-12-041-451/+451
| | | | | | | | | | Use \file{} for file names. Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches current style in the Library Reference a bit better. Made the example startup banner current. The version number should be bumped before the next release.
* Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"Fred Drake1997-10-151-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | since that's now the recommended way to do it. In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to "This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text (with the proper "\"). Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the writing.
* New version (interim) by AMK.Guido van Rossum1997-07-171-1700/+936
|
* (tut.tex): Normalized all uses of "UNIX" and "{\UNIX}" to use "\UNIX{}",Fred Drake1996-12-131-9/+9
| | | | | per usage needed for GNU info processing. Based on comments from Tamito Kajiyama.
* Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-(Guido van Rossum1996-11-021-3/+3
|
* (tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control commandFred Drake1996-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | (and the contents it was supposed to be affecting). The latest LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected. This handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
* Done with the "New in 1.4" chapter.Guido van Rossum1996-10-241-76/+140
|
* Got rid of most XXXes in the News chapter. Bumped the version to 1.4.Guido van Rossum1996-10-221-76/+134
|
* A first stab at describing what's new in 1.4. Still many XXX'es left.Guido van Rossum1996-10-081-21/+223
| | | | | Also would like to add an "author's note" at the beginning, basically pointing everyone to the books.
* Version number; started chapter on what's new in 1.4Guido van Rossum1996-08-231-2/+50
|
* Note that EOF is ^Z on DOS. Spell Unix as \UNIX in some more places.Guido van Rossum1996-06-101-4/+7
| | | | Note that .pyc files are platform independent.
