* Minor changes to match the style guide.Fred Drake2001-07-141-3/+4
| | | | | Make the reference to the python-docs email address a hyperlink; we want to encourage responses to the plea for help!
* Add entry for xmlrpclib documentation.Fred Drake2001-07-122-0/+2

* Several markup adjustments so this will format and be more consistent withFred Drake2001-07-121-35/+45
| | | | the rest of the documnentation.
* Generate a more meaningful message regarding the type of the documentationFred Drake2001-07-121-1/+1
| | | | release being discussed.
* Fix return value for m.group() for groups not in the part of the RE thatFred Drake2001-07-121-42/+47
| | | | | | matched; reported by Paul Moore. Wrapped several long lines.
* On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle itGuido van Rossum2001-07-121-7/+10
| | | | | | | instead of raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The other one was integer division...) This implements (my) SF patch #440487.
* First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,Eric S. Raymond2001-07-121-0/+237
| | | | | | | | could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and externally visible things. Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff! You both need to proof this.
* Follow the recommended practices for keystroke representation; thisFred Drake2001-07-123-23/+25
| | | | improves internal consistency in the documentation.
* For \kbd, be more prescriptive regarding how keystrokes should beFred Drake2001-07-121-2/+7
| | | | written.
* Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section onFred Drake2001-07-111-249/+249
| | | | | | concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler. This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037.
* Note addition of xmlrpclibAndrew M. Kuchling2001-07-111-12/+15
| | | | | | Comment out descr-branch section Update e-mail address (Time to begin writing this...)
* Added information about the timeout parameter to the poll() method forFred Drake2001-07-111-1/+5
| | | | | | polling objects. This closes SF bug #439823. Fixed a minor markup bug.
* Corrected the refcount information for PyList_SET_ITEM().Fred Drake2001-07-101-1/+1
|
* Document PyObject_New(), PyObject_NewVar(), PyObject_Init(),Fred Drake2001-07-101-24/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(), PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL(). Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers not being initialized. This fixes SF bug #439012. Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(), PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type for PyList_SET_ITEM(). Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and PyLong_AsUnignedLong(). This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037. Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for C++ users. Document _Py_NoneStruct. Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple() and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(). Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code. Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.
* Added descriptions for some modules that previously did not have anyFred Drake2001-07-101-9/+26
| | | | information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.
* Add a little bit more about the XML migration plan. This still needs a lotFred Drake2001-07-091-4/+23
| | | | | of work, but mostly it needs time spent doing the work to make the generated XML useful.
* Add conversion information for the grammar production support (preliminary).Fred Drake2001-07-091-0/+16
|
* Fix for SF bug #436525, reported by Greg Kochanski:Thomas Wouters2001-07-091-2/+2
| | | | | | The block/unblock thread macros are called 'Py_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS', not 'Py_BEGIN_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.
* Move & update a comment.Fred Drake2001-07-071-4/+12
| | | | Add support for the \ulink macro.
* Change the way notification mails are sent so people who respond to theFred Drake2001-07-061-1/+5
| | | | | update announcements do not get bounces from trying to send mail to my laptop, which has an identity crisis due to constant relocation.
* More reference count information.Fred Drake2001-07-061-1/+9
|
* Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;Fred Drake2001-07-065-261/+410
| | | | | this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking down details and definitions a little easier.
* Update the description of how to start an interpreter and determine theFred Drake2001-07-061-5/+6
| | | | installation prefix and exec_prefix for Windows.
* Add \ulink, grammar production markup.Fred Drake2001-07-061-0/+15
|
* Add support for \ulink and hyperlink grammars.Fred Drake2001-07-061-2/+151
| | | | | | | do_cmd_verbatiminput(): Write out a text file containing the content of the input file with a .txt extension, and add a link to it at the bottom of the presentation. This easier retrieval of example source code for copy & paste use.
* Revise a comment about styles I don't think LaTeX2HTML can generate,Fred Drake2001-07-061-1/+15
| | | | | | but which came from their default stylesheet. Add styles for the new hyperlinked grammar productions.
* Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. ThisFred Drake2001-07-061-34/+137
| | | | | | | | | includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked grammar productions. Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up ourselves.
* Packaged versions of the HTML format need to include any .txt files thatFred Drake2001-07-061-3/+3
| | | | | were generated by the use of the productionlist environment or the \verbatiminput macro.
* More names, yay!Fred Drake2001-07-061-0/+2

* Simplification to mirror a better conversion specification and moreFred Drake2001-07-061-6/+1
| | | | powerful latex2esis.py.
* Allow optional arguments to LaTeX macros to span lines. This is legal inFred Drake2001-07-061-1/+1
| | | | | LaTeX and we have at least one occurance of that in the content, so this script needs to support it as well.
* Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these makeFred Drake2001-07-0617-98/+105

* The fpectl module does not work on Windows, so remove Windows from theFred Drake2001-07-051-2/+2
| | | | | | \platform statement. Also fix a minor style consistency nit in an example.
* Fix a markup error: do not omit a method's parameter list if it isFred Drake2001-07-051-1/+1
| | | | empty.
* Added more information on the differences between the htmllib and HTMLParserFred Drake2001-07-053-3/+16
| | | | modules.
* List constraints on xrange() objects.Guido van Rossum2001-07-051-8/+14
|
* Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,Guido van Rossum2001-07-051-6/+2
| | | | | contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes. This includes removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
* Marked the parameters to Stats.print_*() as optional.Fred Drake2001-07-021-3/+3
| | | | This closes SF bug #438032.

* Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to getTim Peters2001-06-291-10/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | committed. tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs. tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators; but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought examples). inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The "bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced* by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version doesn't reflect that checkin.
* Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in anFred Drake2001-06-291-1/+1

* Correct a markup error for an accented character.Fred Drake2001-06-291-1/+1

* Removed some stray periods, and fix up a number of visible markupFred Drake2001-06-291-18/+19
| | | | | | | consistency errors (mostly omitted "()" at the end of function and method names). Reported by Milan Zamazal <pdm@zamazal.org>.
