* Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section onFred Drake2001-07-111-249/+249
| | | | | | | | | concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler. This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037. (Does this really belong in the bugfix release? Yes: this is a readability bug, and those are important in the documentation.)
* Added information about the timeout parameter to the poll() method forFred Drake2001-07-111-1/+5
| | | | | | polling objects. This closes SF bug #439823. Fixed a minor markup bug.

Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple() and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(). Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code. Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.

| | | | information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.

| | | | | | The block/unblock thread macros are called 'Py_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS', not 'Py_BEGIN_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.
* Explain the exit code for the wait() method, including a reference toFred Drake2001-07-061-1/+6
| | | | | | the os.W*() functions used to interpret the return value. This fixes SF bug #429361.

* Adjust to understand use of either single- or double-quotes to quoteFred Drake2001-06-221-20/+23
| | | | | | attribute values, and make the logic surrounding the platform annotations just a little easier to read. Also make the platform notes appear in the generated page; they were supposed to, but did not.

|
* Added documentation for PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().Fred Drake2001-06-211-0/+10
|
* Adjust the documents so that the copyright is at the front of the documentsFred Drake2001-06-217-96/+20
| | | | and the license statements are at the end. This is less annoying to readers.

* Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family ofFred Drake2001-06-111-4/+7

* Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). AddedFred Drake2001-06-111-3/+11
