* Add sys.excepthook.Ka-Ping Yee2001-03-231-3/+24
| | | | | | | | Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module. New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook. Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back to calling PyErr_Display directly. Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.

* Be more clear about the specific rules for supporting the cyclic GC in anFred Drake2001-03-221-4/+126
| | | | | | | extension object. Also included an example showing exactly what needs to be done and nothing else. This closes SF bug #228591.
* Integrated an expanded version of some text from Neil Schemenauer aboutFred Drake2001-03-211-3/+85
| | | | | | | supporting cyclic garbage collection. (This is not all of it, but I'm taking a break!) Also fixed some markup nits.
* Moved the description of the tzparse module to the "Obsolete" sectionFred Drake2001-03-201-4/+5
| | | | | | and note that it fails when the TZ environment variable is not set. This closes SF bug #409683.
* Markup nit: For the Python documents, we use \empt instead of \textit.Fred Drake2001-03-191-1/+1

* Add documentation for SGMLParser.handle_decl().Fred Drake2001-03-161-0/+10
|
* Finally fill in the documentation for the PyDict_Next() function. It isFred Drake2001-03-161-2/+20
| | | | | | different enough to actually require an explanation. ;-) Fix a couple of PyDictObject* types that should be PyObject* types.
* Add some LaTeX magic so that Latin-1 characters do not get so badlyFred Drake2001-03-131-0/+1
| | | | trashed.
* Py_BuildValue(): Add "D" conversion to create a Python complex value fromFred Drake2001-03-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | a Py_complex C value. Patch by Walter Dörwald. This closes SF patch #407148.
* Fix a further markup problem noted by FLDAndrew M. Kuchling2001-03-101-1/+1
|
* Re-order some method descriptions for a more logical grouping.Fred Drake2001-03-081-25/+25
| | | | (Based on reader comment!)
* Add more font flavors for <var> elements; the previous incarnation causedFred Drake2001-03-081-1/+1
| | | | | some NT/IE5.5 users to see only boxes for these characters. This might be specific to NT Service Pack 6.
* Do not refer to "sub-modules" since that is not a defined term.Fred Drake2001-03-061-7/+8
|
* Re-word the explanation of the in/not in operators for increased contentFred Drake2001-03-061-6/+14
| | | | | | | and clarity. Add a footnote to the information on the possibility of shadowing builtins with locals & module globals.
* Turn "Python Documentation Central" into just "Documentation Central"; someFred Drake2001-03-061-1/+1
| | | | | Web browsers tried to wrap lines in bad ways, so we avoid the problem by putting fewer words on the page.
* Make sure the README files that contain page count information land inFred Drake2001-03-061-1/+1
| | | | the right directory (which actually exists).
* Correct typos in Ping's email address.Fred Drake2001-03-061-4/+4
| | | | | | Remove premature use of negative indexes in string operation examples; negative indexes have not been explained at that point, and the use of negative indexes are not necessary for the examples.
* Update documentation to reflect the shift to NetrcParseError instead ofFred Drake2001-03-061-2/+10
| | | | SyntaxError.
* Remove debugging "set -x".Fred Drake2001-03-031-3/+0

* Rene Liebscher <R.Liebscher@gmx.de>:Fred Drake2001-03-031-2/+112
| | | | | | Added information on using non-Microsoft compilers on Windows. [Minor edits for markup consistency. --FLD]
* Discuss PEP 236.Andrew M. Kuchling2001-03-031-2/+37

* Revise the scripts I use to update the documentation on the SourceForgeFred Drake2001-03-022-37/+41
| | | | | | site. These now seem (slightly) more reliable, and easier to work with since update-docs.sh no longer needs to be installed ahead of time on my account at SF.
* Lots of organizational changes for consistency with the rest of theFred Drake2001-03-021-225/+289
| | | | | | documentation. Fix a few small markup nits.
* There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.Fred Drake2001-03-021-4/+9
| | | | | (There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed post-beta.)
* Label classes and exceptions explicitly in the documentation (for theirFred Drake2001-03-022-17/+19
| | | | *desc environments).
* There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the commentsFred Drake2001-03-021-21/+16
| | | | | | | | | | on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case. Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader thought that was a leak. Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.
* For copyfile(), be explicit that src and dst are file names; that was onlyFred Drake2001-03-021-2/+3
| | | | implied.
* Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, andFred Drake2001-03-021-7/+25
| | | | | | | not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an "About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the page footers use that as the target.
* Added entry for urllib2 documentation.Fred Drake2001-03-012-0/+2

* Use larger chunks for the HTML version of the Distutils documentation.Fred Drake2001-03-011-2/+2

* Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;Fred Drake2001-03-011-9/+59
| | | | | | | | | | there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things. Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links anyway. Various markup consistency nits.
