* Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two differentFred Drake1998-02-0918-60/+60
| | | | ways to do it previously (not counting module names).
* Do the right magic to make \ABC{} get sorted correctly in the index.Fred Drake1998-02-092-2/+2
|
* Do the right magic to make \UNIX{} get sorted correctly in the index.Fred Drake1998-02-092-4/+4
|
* Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No otherFred Drake1998-02-0924-58/+56
| | | | changes.
* Add macros to insert RFC references much like the \manpage{} macro. Also aFred Drake1998-02-091-1/+5
| | | | | | macro to insert an RFC index reference. (RFC references were formatted three different ways.)
* Add a note about rounding up of readlines()' sizehint to 8K.Guido van Rossum1998-02-082-2/+4
|
* Document getrefcount().Guido van Rossum1998-02-072-0/+12
|
* \itembreak, \itemjoin: Remove unused macros.Fred Drake1998-02-061-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | \idxcode{}: New macro; used to mark things that would be \code{} for entry into the index. This allows easily switching things around for the font used in the index. (O'Reilly seems to keep it all plain roman in the index. Looks reasonable in the Python documentation as well.) \*index{}: Use \idxcode{} instead of {\codefont{}}.
* Remove commented-out \itembreak.Fred Drake1998-02-062-2/+0
|
* Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural formFred Drake1998-02-062-4/+4
| | | | | of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single variable and not a collection in the index.
* Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error.Guido van Rossum1998-02-062-2/+6
|
* Add ref to errno module.Guido van Rossum1998-02-062-0/+4
|
* Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even methodGuido van Rossum1998-02-052-8/+6
| | | | | defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in truth (any more?).
* Add *.pdf files to the clobber target (same target as *.ps).Fred Drake1998-02-041-1/+1
|
* Tell CVS to ignore PDF files.Fred Drake1998-02-041-0/+1
|
* Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including exampleFred Drake1998-02-042-6/+172
| | | | | | | use with function name provided as well. Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.
* Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversionFred Drake1998-02-041-12/+11
| | | | | requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation. ;-) Would probably need to be different for Windows/Mac.
* \modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" orFred Drake1998-02-041-0/+1
| | | | | "standard". This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the standard library.
* Added missing "{" for "\code <?stuff?>}".Fred Drake1998-02-032-2/+2
|
* Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.Guido van Rossum1998-02-022-10/+2
| | | | Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.
* Add S_ISBLK().Guido van Rossum1998-01-292-2/+10
|
* New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.Guido van Rossum1998-01-292-24/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now called as parser.syntax_error(msg) instead of parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg) This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and <!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document. The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been created.
* Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negativeGuido van Rossum1998-01-272-2/+10
| | | | | number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty sequence.
* Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions notFred Drake1998-01-262-12/+18
| | | | calling the Python API.
* Use \url{} to mark a URL.Fred Drake1998-01-224-10/+10
|
* Use \url{} to mark URLs, \email{} to mark an email address.Fred Drake1998-01-222-4/+4
|
* Use \url{} to mark URLs.Fred Drake1998-01-224-20/+20
|
* Fixed indexing of {datadesc} environments.Fred Drake1998-01-221-21/+5
| | | | | | | | | Removed " (byte code instruction)" from the output of the {opcodedesc} environment; this should only appear in the index (which it now does). Removed some really old cruft related to otherwise removed debugging code. (I *think* assignments to $* set & clear auto-flush of <STDOUT>, but don't really remember. Removing them seems to not change anything!)
* \seemodule{}: Use logical markup for the module name, to ensure it picks upFred Drake1998-01-221-1/+1
| | | | | any changes introduced there. Also ensure a little more space between the module name and the parenthesized comment.
* Added descriptions for log() and log10().Fred Drake1998-01-222-16/+34
| | | | | | | Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals. Same for the integer part returned by modf(). Some markup consistency changes.
* Add support for the new macros, including hyperlink generation for \url{}.Fred Drake1998-01-221-5/+28
|
* Converted to use new macros. This example demonstrate \method{} and, moreFred Drake1998-01-222-32/+34
| | | | importantly, \url{}.
* Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the newFred Drake1998-01-222-72/+78
| | | | constructs should be used.
* Revised new macros after discussion with Guido: Always use full names ofFred Drake1998-01-221-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | semantic concepts. Added two new ones (not discussed with Guido: \constant{}: Markup for constants defined in Python modules. \cfunction{}: Markup for C functions; these should probably be distinguished by font, but are not at this time (since they're typically \code{} at this point).
* Add entry for copy_reg module.Fred Drake1998-01-212-0/+6
|
* Removed entry for copy_reg module.Fred Drake1998-01-212-4/+0
|
* $(LIBFILES): Added libcopyreg.tex.Fred Drake1998-01-211-1/+1
|
* Add entry for copy_reg module.Fred Drake1998-01-212-0/+2
|
* Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.Fred Drake1998-01-212-0/+56
| | | | | | Guido, you should probably look at this. The pickle documentation is out of date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the __safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
* Update comment about relative URL internet draft to reflect current RFC status;Fred Drake1998-01-212-10/+14
| | | | | | index references the appropriate RFCs. Consistency: Always use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
* Added a bunch of "concept" index entries.Fred Drake1998-01-202-8/+22
| | | | Use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
* Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in theFred Drake1998-01-202-0/+4
| | | | | normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
* Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in theFred Drake1998-01-202-2/+6
| | | | | | tables: \var{} Add a couple of index entries to the File Objects section.
* Removed bogus index entry for the type() built-in.Fred Drake1998-01-202-4/+2
| | | | | Marked title of the Python Reference Manual as \emph{}, like other Python manual titles.
* Proposed new macros: see comments. These are not yet used.Fred Drake1998-01-201-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | These are intended to support semantic markup. There are a number of places in the documentation where the exact meaning of an indentifier marked \code{} in the running text is ambiguous (could be a module or a class, a function or a method, etc.). These are intended to clarify the intent of the identifier for processing applications and more intelligent style processing.
