* There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.Fred Drake2001-03-021-4/+9
| | | | | (There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed post-beta.)

* There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the commentsFred Drake2001-03-021-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case. Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader thought that was a leak. Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.
* For copyfile(), be explicit that src and dst are file names; that was onlyFred Drake2001-03-021-2/+3

* Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, andFred Drake2001-03-021-7/+25
| | | | | | | not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an "About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the page footers use that as the target.

| | | | | | | | | | there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things. Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links anyway. Various markup consistency nits.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this was posted to distutils-sig in. Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker, nor anything else. Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst (where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff for the data_files and scripts option. Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
