* Use the right types for a couple of fields of the type structure.Fred Drake2002-03-291-2/+2

* Started updating information about defining attributes on types.Fred Drake2002-03-291-7/+171
| | | | | There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real content in the docs.
* Mark a couple of types that had not been marked.Fred Drake2002-03-281-5/+5

* Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, andFred Drake2002-03-281-148/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | include them using \verbatiminput. This has the advantage that pages can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than a page won't get cut off. Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency. Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first arg. Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.
* Added index entries.Fred Drake2002-03-281-0/+4

* Extend \verbatiminput so that the typeset version provides the same appearanceFred Drake2002-03-281-0/+14
| | | | as a verbatim environment. (The HTML version is already fine.)
* Minor wording change.Fred Drake2002-03-281-1/+1
|
* add exception class hierarchy. This should probably be done differently,Skip Montanaro2002-03-281-0/+44

* Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef methodFred Drake2002-03-281-2/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not use either. These flags are used to create special method types which exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called. If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method like that returned by the classmethod() built-in. If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in. These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

* Fix broken HTML in the head; this was reported by a user as causing Opera 6.01Fred Drake2002-03-221-1/+1

* [Apply SF patch #504943]Walter Dörwald2002-03-211-1/+7
| | | | | | This patch makes it possible to pass Warning instances as the first argument to warnings.warn. In this case the category argument will be ignored. The message text used will be str(warninginstance).

* Clarify that copy_reg.pickle() is not intended for use with "classic" classes.Fred Drake2002-03-191-3/+5
| | | | | | This was stated before, but a minor grammatical error made it difficult to be sure of the meaning. This closes SF bug #530143.

* Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase theFred Drake2002-03-157-98/+95
