* Added this LaTeX style file to the package since not all LaTeX installationsFred Drake2001-08-101-0/+329

* "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operatorsFred Drake2001-08-081-3/+3

* Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributedFred Drake2001-08-042-1/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | by Albert Hofkamp. Some editing has been done for style and markup consistency. This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well. (The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would format properly.)

|
* Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support aFred Drake2001-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | get() method; just calling them is sufficient. (There was a get() method for this in an early version of the implementation.) Reported by Mats Wichmann.
* User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functionsFred Drake2001-08-021-1/+2
| | | | as the callable, so use more flexible language.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
* Move away from apply() to using extended call syntax for some exampleFred Drake2001-08-021-3/+19
| | | | | | | fragments when discussing equivalence of thhe C API to what a Python programmer sees. Added descriptions of PyEval_SetProfile() and PyEval_SetTrace().

| | | | | | | | | re.sub(). This closes SF bug #446136. Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described at all). Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.
* Fix description of buffer_info(), and add a note that there is a betterFred Drake2001-08-011-6/+15
