* Add support for (relatively) recent additions and changes to python.sty,Fred Drake2000-11-221-2/+30
| | | | and one more standard LaTeX macro.
* Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process.Fred Drake2000-11-227-6/+9
|
* Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeXFred Drake2000-11-221-3/+3
| | | | | sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it. Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
* Document the new setupterm() functionAndrew M. Kuchling2000-11-181-0/+7
|
* Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added noteFred Drake2000-11-172-8/+14
| | | | | | | | about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of the optional radix argument for long(). Based on comments from Reuben Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #121672.
* Oops, back out change committed by accident! This is not ready, andFred Drake2000-11-171-34/+0
| | | | breaks things.
* Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the originalFred Drake2000-11-178-10/+101
| | | | | | | is encoded in u-LAW format. Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter <anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122273.
* Corrected a number of typos reported by Gilles CivarioFred Drake2000-11-171-12/+3
| | | | | | <gcivario@users.sourceforge.net>. This closes bug #122562.
* Fixed typos and bug in the second example, reported by Scott SchramFred Drake2000-11-171-2/+3

* Patch #102278: add tparm() function to _curses moduleAndrew M. Kuchling2000-11-071-0/+7
|
* Document the proper exception to be raised by I/O operations on closedFred Drake2000-11-061-15/+19
| | | | | | files; error reported by Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com>. Make sure that various special object attributes are properly indexed.
* Make sure we clean up the index data each time it is written by LaTeX.Fred Drake2000-11-031-1/+4
|
* Fix cut & paste error that describes three paramters when there are onlyFred Drake2000-11-021-4/+3
| | | | | | | two [bug #119729]. Update use of distutils.sysconfig that "broke" when Greg W. changed the API [bug #119645].
* Typo: writeable --> writableFred Drake2000-11-011-2/+2
| | | | Reported by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
* define_module(): Change the "index sub-item" for definitions at moduleFred Drake2000-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | scope to be " (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)" to be consistent with \withsubitem usage throughout the documentation. This achieves consistency in indexing throughout the documentation.
* Fix \withsubitem so that it actually works if the only indexing macro inFred Drake2000-10-301-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | the content body is the \ttindex macro, which seems to match actual usage. Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be " (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)". This is need to match uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation. (Not ideal, but gets achieves consistency.)
* Revise the message to be a little nicer.Fred Drake2000-10-291-3/+6
| | | | Have the mail sent to the python-dev and Doc-SIG lists.
* 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
|
* Normalize the HTML generated for table headers.Fred Drake2000-10-261-7/+10
|
* 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>.
* Minor tweaks to catch up with the current code in a few spots.Greg Ward2000-10-221-16/+147
| | | | Wrote the "Distutils Configuration Files" section.
* Flesh out the "LaTeX Primer" some more.Fred Drake2000-10-201-7/+74
|
* Update the display of some floating point values at the interactive promptFred Drake2000-10-201-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | to reflect current behavior. This closes SourceForge bug #117305. Made a reference to the library reference a hyperlink. Fixed some minor markup nits.
