* This is my patchMichael W. Hudson2002-08-154-24/+52
| | | | | | | | [ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab. Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.

| | | | | Revise sentence Add two reminders
* Py_InitModule() and friends now accept NULL for the 'methods'Fred Drake2002-08-141-0/+9
| | | | | argument. This makes sense now that extension types can support __init__ directly rather than requiring function constructors.
* More updates describing FutureWarnings.Barry Warsaw2002-08-143-1/+13

* Lots of changes to the packaging of the documentation, all to keepFred Drake2002-08-092-42/+72
| | | | | | | | directories clean where the packages are unpacked. Each package now contains a single directory, Python-Docs-<version>/, which contains the files for that version of the documentation. Closes SF feature request #567576.

* Fix up some more markup problems.Fred Drake2002-08-071-8/+9

* Remove mention of deprecated xreadlines method.Guido van Rossum2002-08-061-2/+2

* Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method andGuido van Rossum2002-08-062-9/+26

* Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote aboutTim Peters2002-08-011-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non- existent "builtin-in function sort()"). BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to advertise this <wink>.
* Replace DL_EXPORT with PyMODINIT_FUNCMark Hammond2002-07-311-1/+1

* SF patch #581414: info reader bugFred Drake2002-07-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround. Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.
* New functions for extension writers on Windows:Thomas Heller2002-07-291-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename(). Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify the exception type to raise. Available on Windows. See SF patch #576458.
