* $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides aFred Drake2000-10-031-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was false anyway. get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are optional. make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link. do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print. handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to mark off-site links.

|
* Substantially revised documentation for the zipfile module, partially basedFred Drake2000-10-021-60/+164
| | | | | | on revised text from Jim Ahlstrom <jim@interet.com>. This closes SourceForge bug #115681.
* Minor stylesheet nit.Fred Drake2000-10-021-1/+2
|
* make_icon_filename(): Convenience function to turn a partial filenameFred Drake2000-10-021-20/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | into a usable filename using $ICONSERVER and $IMAGE_TYPE as needed. get_link_icon(): Function to examine a URL and return the string to use to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set. Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.
* Minor usage fix.Fred Drake2000-10-021-3/+5
| | | | | Add a note that some way of reliably detecting the use of KDE would be really nice.
* Add documentation and warnings for the isCallable(), isMappingType(),Fred Drake2000-10-021-0/+50
| | | | | | isNumberType(), and isSequenceType() functions. This closes SourceForge bug #115789.

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | <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>.
