|
* Fix minor markup nits.Fred Drake2001-06-232-6/+2
|
* Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding theFred Drake2001-06-231-2/+2
| | | | | chapter number. This also makes the reference a hyperlink in the HTML version.
* Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit.Fred Drake2001-06-237-0/+43
|
* Add "yeild" to the list of keywords.Fred Drake2001-06-231-2/+18
| | | | Fix a very minor (but annoying when looking for things!) markup nit.
* Consistently use semi-colons after the last property for each selector.Fred Drake2001-06-231-26/+26
|
* Give the pattern used to pick out a source anchor a more specific pattern.Fred Drake2001-06-231-1/+1
|
* Added several names.Fred Drake2001-06-231-0/+4
|
* Contributed updates from Harald Hanche-Olsen, giving details of the branchFred Drake2001-06-231-0/+49
| | | | | cuts for the complex math functions. Includes a brief description of what branch cuts are.
* Added support for our new \infinity and \plusminus macros, and theFred Drake2001-06-231-1/+4
| | | | | | standard \textbar macro (not supported in many versions of LaTeX2HTML). Added newline to error message.
* \infinity,Fred Drake2001-06-231-0/+2
| | | | \plusminus: New macros to allow us to avoid math mode for these symbols.
* Miscellaneous code cleanups.Fred Drake2001-06-231-4/+10
| | | | | Make sure we do not lose track of the build directory -- convert a user- supplied directory to an absolute path.
* Remove an extra tab character.Fred Drake2001-06-221-1/+1
|
* Re-organize a little, clean up some markup.Fred Drake2001-06-221-52/+73
| | | | | | | Added some comments about sys.exit(), SystemExit, and preventing restricted code from exiting the interpreter. This closes SF bug #434743.
* Corrected an error in the information on supporting weak references inFred Drake2001-06-221-9/+7
| | | | | | extension types (the docs reflected a development version of the API). This closes SF bug #435066.
* 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.
* Add the new texinputs/license.tex to the shared dependencies.Fred Drake2001-06-221-0/+1
|
* Fix & clean up the information about building Python with large file supportFred Drake2001-06-221-4/+3
| | | | | | for Linux. This closes SF bug #434975.
* Move license information to a less annoying location in the document.Fred Drake2001-06-201-0/+13
| | | | Add documentation for PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
* Update to include the license information in a less annoying place.Fred Drake2001-06-205-0/+16
|
* Separate the copyright statements and license text; include some newFred Drake2001-06-202-96/+261
| | | | comments regarding the history of Python licensing from Guido.
* Separate the version number and release status into two separate values.Fred Drake2001-06-201-1/+2
|
* Update to use the newly separated values $PACKAGE_VERSION and $RELEASE_INFO.Fred Drake2001-06-201-5/+5
| | | | | Normalize all HTML attributes to be written as name="value" instead of name='value'.
* Added support for new \setreleaseinfo macro.Fred Drake2001-06-201-65/+76
| | | | | | | Normalize all generated HTML so that attribute names come out as name="value" instead of name='value'. Changed the target of RFC links to point to the hypertext RFCs at www.faqs.org instead of the plain text RFCs at www.ietf.org.
* Add a little more support for describing version information. ThisFred Drake2001-06-201-0/+3
| | | | is not pretty, but does what is needed.
* Document the new encodestring() and decodestring() functions. Also,Barry Warsaw2001-06-191-2/+19
| | | | | | add some description of what the quotetabs argument does for the encode*() functions. Finally, add a "see also" pointing to the base64 module.
* Add some information on the use of \verbatiminput to display sources fromFred Drake2001-06-181-0/+15
| | | | an external file.
* Clarification in the fp appendix suggested on c.l.py by Michael Chermside.Tim Peters2001-06-171-2/+3
| | | | | Also replaced a *star* style emphasis in the Representation Error section with an \emph{} thingie.
* Document that filter is added in 2.2.Martin v. Löwis2001-06-161-0/+1
|
* Implement the \verbatiminput LaTeX macro; this contains more magic thanFred Drake2001-06-151-0/+46
| | | | it should, but only enough that LaTeX2HTML doesn't bite us.
* Add a version annotation for the Q and q format codes.Fred Drake2001-06-151-1/+2
|
* Fix an improperly placed comma.Fred Drake2001-06-141-1/+1
|
* Make the option processing more robust.Fred Drake2001-06-121-7/+31
| | | | | | | Add a -F option similar to "cvs commit -F <file>". Add a -t option to allow specifying the prefix to the directory into which the docs should be unpacked (useful when I start trying out new styles for the presentation).
* Fixed reference to table notes for {}.keys() and {}.items() -- theseFred Drake2001-06-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | references did not get updated when the notes were renumbered in a previous update. This fixes SF bug #432208.
* Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.Tim Peters2001-06-121-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the q/Q project. longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug: the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign bit it has else spurious overflow errors result. test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative. NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
* Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family ofFred Drake2001-06-111-4/+7
| | | | | | | functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms. Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
* Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). AddedFred Drake2001-06-111-3/+11
| | | | | | | a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management" section. Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.
* Fix recent changes so that this section will format again.Fred Drake2001-06-111-2/+3
|
* Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only inTim Peters2001-06-101-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own; I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8). test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests, got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes). libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
* Fix the attributions for the new floating point text.Fred Drake2001-06-081-2/+1
|
* Added credits in the right places.Fred Drake2001-06-081-0/+2
|
* Text from Tim & Guido discussing floating point arithmetic and what usersFred Drake2001-06-081-0/+265
| | | | | | | | need to understand about the binary & decimal fp, so that representation weirdness is documented somewhere. This makes it easier to repond to "bug" reports caused by user confusion & ignorance of the issues. This closes SF patch #426208.
* add warning about situation where code may be executed twice, once whenSkip Montanaro2001-06-081-0/+10
| | | | module is __main__ and once when module is imported.
* In the section on extending the profiler, add some additional discussionFred Drake2001-06-081-10/+45
| | | | | | about setting up the dispatch table, and update the OldProfile and HotProfile classes to the current implementations, showing the adjusted construction for the dispatch table.
* Document filter.Martin v. Löwis2001-06-071-0/+5
|
* Typo: "descrition" --> "description"Fred Drake2001-06-061-3/+10
| | | | | | | | Add reference to the documentation for the Python documentation markup. Fixed up a couple of descriptions. This closes SF bug #430627.
