* Reversely --> ConverselyFred Drake2000-09-291-2/+2
| | | | This closes SourceForge bug #115673.
* Spelling: internalization --> internationalizationFred Drake2000-09-291-56/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed displays of the interactive prompt in running text. These close SourceForge bug #115658. Also: Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability to unpack any sequence type. Explained that it is possible to create tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary section that such tuples cannot be used as keys. Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code. Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant. Removed commented-out paragraph about __private names being experimental. Adjusted markup for consistency in some places.

* use_sans_serif(),Fred Drake2000-09-221-10/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | use_italics(): Remove both functions, inlining use_italics() at its only call site. init_myformat(): Uncomment line so that some internal markup does not get generated, since it is not properly removed later. (Fix on aspect of SourceForge bug #114749.) Modified call to process_commands_wrap_deferred(), removing \code from the list since it had a bad interaction with other changes in some contexts.

* - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by theNeil Schemenauer2000-09-221-2/+10
| | | | | | | collector will be saved in gc.garbage. This is useful for debugging a program that creates reference cycles. - Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.
* Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial.Fred Drake2000-09-221-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | <file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore, and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly. Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6). Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.
* Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:Fred Drake2000-09-211-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the "new" way of handling slicing. Additional explanation added by Fred Drake. This closes SourceForge patch #101388.
* Lots of minor fixes, many suggested by Detlef LannertFred Drake2000-09-211-7/+8

* Added dependencies on the bug-reporting text.Fred Drake2000-09-211-2/+5

* Include the new text on reporting bugs in a few useful places.Fred Drake2000-09-213-0/+12

* Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:Marc-André Lemburg2000-09-211-4/+4
| | | | | | | | "s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16 data. The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().
* Convert the longest two tables from tableii to longtableii so they do notFred Drake2000-09-211-4/+4
| | | | make too big a mess. One actually did not fit on a single page at all!
* Add new environments: longtableii, longtableiii, and longtableiv, toFred Drake2000-09-213-6/+80
| | | | | support long tables which might break across page boundaries. Otherwise identical to tableii, tableiii, and tableiv.
* Allow the LaTeX markup descriptions to use the \moreargs and \unspecifiedFred Drake2000-09-211-1/+5
| | | | macros in the argument list position.
* Note that __getitem__() may receive a slice object as the index;Fred Drake2000-09-211-2/+3
| | | | reported by Detlef Lannert <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
* Document directories are not always named with three characters any more;Fred Drake2000-09-211-7/+7
| | | | reported by Detlef Lannert <lannert@uni-duesseldorf.de>.
* Fixed a number of small problems reported by Detlef LannertFred Drake2000-09-213-9/+8

* .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatexFred Drake2000-09-201-31/+24
| | | | | once if all the temporary files are available from building a DVI file. This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.
* Clarify that the softspace attribute is used by print for state management,Fred Drake2000-09-201-0/+3
| | | | not as a user-controlled parameter.
* Add entries for the xml.sax documentation.Fred Drake2000-09-202-0/+2
|
* First cut at documentation for the xml.sax package (not including anyFred Drake2000-09-201-0/+108
| | | | sub-modules).
* This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()Marc-André Lemburg2000-09-192-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string object using the default encoding. The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924 and #113890. As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as parameters.
* Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:Fred Drake2000-09-191-0/+10
| | | | | | | Document the __contains__() method. (Patch slightly modified by FLD.) This closes SourceForge patch #101387.
* Many small clarifications, including many suggested by email.Fred Drake2000-09-191-17/+18
