* | Merge doc changes from 3.2 (#8617, #10745).Éric Araujo2011-08-061-1/+23
|\ \ | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the install and library docs, I changed the text to refer to packaging instead of distutils. I also checked that the documented paths correctly reflect what’s really defined in sysconfig; the main difference with paths defined in distutils.install is that include directories don’t end with the distribution name anymore (i.e. distutils uses include/python3.3/spam, sysconfig include/python3.3), I have no idea why.
| * Improve documentation for PEP 370 support in site module (#8617).Éric Araujo2011-08-051-1/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 PEP 370 is outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find the right values to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.
