* Massive changes.Fred Drake1999-07-291-38/+478
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate the Conversion class into a base and a subclass; the subclass is pretty minimal but the separation is useful for.... NewConversion: New class that implements a somewhat different approach to the conversion. This uses a table of instances (rather than tuples) that have more information than the tuples used for the older conversion procedure. This allows a lot more control over the conversion, and it seems to be pretty stable. TableEntry, Parameter: New classes that are used to build the conversion specification used by NewConversion. TableParser: xmllib.XMLParser subclass that builds a conversion specification from an XML document. load_table(): Convenience function that loads a table from a file. main(): Added flags --new and --old; these select which conversion is used. The default is --new. Several fixes have been made in the old conversion as well; these were done before writing & switching to the new conversion, and should be archived. The next checkin of this file will discard the old conversion; is is kept in this checkin to allow it to be retrieved if needed, and to avoid lossing the bugfixes that have been made to it in the interim.

* Use the (new) buildFragment() method of the EsisBuilder rather thanFred Drake1999-07-291-15/+1

* Some minor cleanup.Fred Drake1999-07-291-20/+18
|
* Conversion specification, used by a new path through latex2esis.py.Fred Drake1999-07-291-0/+631
| | | | | The specific markup conversion is coded here instead of an even more cryptic table in the code of latex2esis.py.
* Minor update.Fred Drake1999-07-291-3/+6
|
* Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (theFred Drake1999-07-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | new markup makes sense in context). These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have still been in there anyway.
* Add support for bzip2 compression.Fred Drake1999-07-271-2/+30
| | | | | New target: distfiles, create all distribution archives, regardless of archive format. (Individual targets remain for each archive format.)
* Add support for bzip2 using --bzip2.Fred Drake1999-07-271-4/+11
|
* Ignore additional compressed formats.Fred Drake1999-07-271-0/+2
|
* Added description of optional parameter to UserDict constructor.Fred Drake1999-07-261-2/+5
| | | | Omission reported by Barry Warsaw.
* Add zip archive support for html, pdf, ps, and latex archives.Fred Drake1999-07-231-1/+22
| | | | "zips" target produces all possible .zip files.
* Add --zip parameter; make this able to produce .zip files as well asFred Drake1999-07-231-3/+20
| | | | .tgz files.
* Update getattr() description to document the optional thirdFred Drake1999-07-221-5/+7
| | | | parameter. Thanks to Barry Warsaw for pointing out the oversight.
* Make the default target xml instead of sgml.Fred Drake1999-07-221-2/+2

* Make the default target xml instead of sgml.Fred Drake1999-07-221-2/+4
| | | | | | Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).
* typo: privide --> provideFred Drake1999-07-201-1/+1
| | | | Reported by Nadim Ghaznavi <nadim@ghaznavi.com>.
* Added comment clarifying that RELEASE is the documentation releaseFred Drake1999-07-121-1/+3
| | | | | | number, not the Python release. Removed VERSION since it is not used.
* do_cmd_funclineni(): New function; non-indexing form of \funcline.Fred Drake1999-07-121-0/+9
|
* Move chdir() and getcwd() descriptions to "Files and Directories" withFred Drake1999-07-121-10/+16
| | | | | a pointer from the "Process Parameters" section. Based on comments from Aahz Maruch, Tim Peters, and GvR.
* Use the same names for CLASS attributes as elsewhere.Fred Drake1999-07-121-3/+4
|
* Updated Milan's email address.Fred Drake1999-07-121-7/+8
|
* Several methods return tuples, not lists.Fred Drake1999-07-071-4/+5
|
* Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.Fred Drake1999-07-071-22/+22
| | | | | | Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line after the import line for clarity.
* dir() method description revised based on comments from Greg Stein.Fred Drake1999-07-071-6/+7
|
* Missing space; reported by Robert Kern <kernr@ncifcrf.gov>.Fred Drake1999-07-061-1/+1

|
* Fix a few markup nits, improve some index entries.Fred Drake1999-07-021-38/+41
|
* New documentation from Chris Petrilli <petrilli@amber.org>.Fred Drake1999-07-021-0/+197
|
* For spawn*(), point to the magic constants; some readers have a hardFred Drake1999-07-021-2/+4
| | | | time finding the bindings.
* Removed entries for several modules which have been documented.Fred Drake1999-07-011-72/+55
| | | | Updated comments on several remaining modules.
* Documentation for dl module from Moshe.Fred Drake1999-07-011-0/+99
|
* Added entry for dl module.Fred Drake1999-07-012-0/+2
|
* Remove extraneous "contains" -- pointed out by Daniel BarclayFred Drake1999-07-011-1/+3
| | | | | | | <danielb@digitalfocus.com>. Added credit to Martin von Loewis for creating the module and documentation.
* Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functionsFred Drake1999-07-011-0/+14
| | | | | described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module level. He found this confusing.
* Make the reference to the os module in the module synopsis (for theFred Drake1999-07-011-1/+1
| | | | table at the front of the chapter) a hyperlink.
* Made several grammatical corrections based on comments from DanielFred Drake1999-06-301-10/+20
| | | | | | | | Barcla <danielb@digitalfocus.com>. Also added example of what happens when a parameter is set both positionally and by a keyword (one of Daniels suggestions related to that paragraph).
* For "Matching vs. Searching", remove comment that the section isFred Drake1999-06-291-8/+6
| | | | | incomplete; I don't remember what else I thought I was going to put in, but it looks o.k. to me know.
* Added some reminders.Fred Drake1999-06-291-2/+9
|
* Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numberingFred Drake1999-06-293-1/+2
| | | | | | | for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents. This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
* Added some minor prose before the descriptions of the data attributesFred Drake1999-06-291-5/+12
| | | | to make it clear that these are instance attributes, not module data.
* Added entry for pty module.Fred Drake1999-06-292-0/+2
