* Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not provenFred Drake2000-10-291-20/+26
| | | | | | to be very robust. Using \index directly fixes a lot of entries in the index that had to be specifically read to determine that they had the wrong parenthesized description.
* Many small markup revisions to be more consistent with markup elsewhere,Fred Drake2000-10-291-47/+61
| | | | | | | | and to provide more consistent indexing. Added an index entry. Added documentation for the error and XMLParserType objects.
* Update author information.Fred Drake2000-10-281-2/+2

* Explained that os.path.basename() may return something different from theFred Drake2000-10-261-1/+5
| | | | | | basename program, as suggested by Gregor Hoffleit <gregor@hoffleit.de>. This closes bug #119485.
* Do not require packages that are not needed.Fred Drake2000-10-262-4/+0

* Minor simplification.Fred Drake2000-10-261-2/+1
|
* Update the dependency information to allow the other Makefiles to handleFred Drake2000-10-261-34/+25
| | | | | as much of this as possible. Avoids propogating information about how various outputs relate (or don't!).
* Noted that building the info version requires the HTML::Element package,Fred Drake2000-10-261-1/+8
| | | | and provided instructions for getting it installed.
* All acknowledgements have been moved to the Doc/ACKS file.Fred Drake2000-10-261-25/+21
| | | | | | | Adjusted to reflect the rename of Setup.in to Setup.dist. Added pointer to the "Distributing Python Modules" manual in the appropriate place.
* Lots of small markup adjustments for consistency with the rest of theFred Drake2000-10-262-70/+72
| | | | documentation.
* Typo: shorted --> shorterFred Drake2000-10-251-1/+1
| | | | This closes bug #117706.
* Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should notFred Drake2000-10-251-1/+2
| | | | | document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is to affect normal users.
* Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com> noted that the encode() string methodFred Drake2000-10-251-0/+1
| | | | was added in 2.0.
* Additions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, documentingFred Drake2000-10-251-1/+21
| | | | getdefaultencoding() and setdefaultencoding().
* Several additions and updates based on text from Marc-Andre LemburgFred Drake2000-10-251-123/+221
| | | | | | <mal@lemburg.com>. Lots of markup reformatting to make it easier for me to read & maintain.
* Rename $PYTHON_VERSION to $PACKAGE_VERSION; this is the version number forFred Drake2000-10-251-7/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python. (These tools are also used for the How-To documents, etc.) get_version_text(): New function. Returns HTML fragment describing the software version and documentation date. bot_navigation_panel(): Include the result of get_version_text() at the end, so the information is available on every page.

| | | | | whatever is being documented, not necessarily Python. (These tools are also used for the How-To documents, etc.)
* Remove some HTML from the PYTHONDOCS fragment defined here.Fred Drake2000-10-251-1/+1
|
* Minor addition; add a little formatting to the release information thatFred Drake2000-10-251-0/+2
| | | | will be added to Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl shortly.
* Make this actually work now that the tool is checked in here instead ofFred Drake2000-10-241-0/+1
| | | | just sitting around in my working directory.
* Added entries for the xml.dom.minidom module.Fred Drake2000-10-242-0/+2

* Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>:Fred Drake2000-10-241-0/+614
| | | | | | | | | Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API. FLD: I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor details to Paul's text, but that's it. Given the substantial structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be making additional revisions over the next few days.
* Remove second horizontal line below table headers; it is just tooFred Drake2000-10-241-6/+6
| | | | distracting.
* Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()Fred Drake2000-10-231-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n). This closes bug #117377. Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL. "de-allocated" --> "deallocated"
* Correct the name of a parameter in the description of the register()Fred Drake2000-10-231-1/+1
| | | | | | function. This closes bug #117467.
* More names.Fred Drake2000-10-221-0/+4
|
* Added missing entry for invert() function.Fred Drake2000-10-221-0/+60
| | | | | Added table mapping abstract operations to syntax to functions, based on a suggestion from Bob Weiner <weiner@beopen.com>.

| | | | | | | | | to reflect current behavior. This closes SourceForge bug #117305. Made a reference to the library reference a hyperlink. Fixed some minor markup nits.
* Remove the bzip2 archives from the "distfiles" target. There are notFred Drake2000-10-191-2/+2
| | | | enough downloads to keep this around.
* Two more names.Fred Drake2000-10-191-0/+2
|
* Helper scripts used in published the "development" snapshots of theFred Drake2000-10-192-0/+43
| | | | Python documentation.
* Revise the capitalization policy of \versionchanged explanation; theFred Drake2000-10-191-6/+132
| | | | | | | explanation must now be capitalized. This is more consistent with the \see* explanation fields. Added a lot of material to the "LaTeX Primer" section.
* Capitalize first letter of an explanation for a \versionchangedFred Drake2000-10-191-1/+1
| | | | annotation.
* Correction from David Bolen: the Windows version no longer crashesAndrew M. Kuchling2000-10-191-12/+5

|
* Make all the \seemodule explanations consistent: start with a capitalizedFred Drake2000-10-1810-20/+27
| | | | | | letter and end with proper punctuation. "Documenting Python" will be updated accordingly so that this will be editorial policy for the Python documentation.
* Capitalize & use periods for \seemodule explanation parameter.Fred Drake2000-10-181-5/+5
|

| | | | comment from Janko Hauser <jhauser@ifm.uni-kiel.de>.
* Correct form of FourThought's nameAndrew M. Kuchling2000-10-161-1/+1
|
* For PyErr_Format(), note that the exception parameter can be a string orFred Drake2000-10-141-2/+2
| | | | | class, but not an instance (since an instance will be created using the formatted message string as the constructor parameter).
* Adjust the Macintosh manual to have the formatting dependencies forFred Drake2000-10-141-6/+6
| | | | manuals instead of howtos.
* For os.stat() & friends, note that the time fields are returned asFred Drake2000-10-141-1/+3
