Moshe Zadka 2bd0d88360 Fixing bug 405999 -- clarifying differences between Python's
getopt and GNU getopt -- Python is like classical UNIX getopt.
2001-04-11 07:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d6e402e0c Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).

This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard
input."
2001-04-11 04:38:34 +00:00

Fred Drake b5309a956e Import the alltt package and wrap that environment in a similar way to
the way we handle verbatim, so that it picks up the same indentation and
minipage behavior.
2001-04-10 15:53:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 90a72f8dcd Add documentation for getmoduleinfo() and getmodulename(). 2001-04-10 15:12:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 697c9c9c71 In the typeset versions, the legal notices had grown past the one-page
size.  This constrains them to fit in one page again.
2001-04-10 05:26:29 +00:00

Fred Drake 501d90471d Add entry for unittest documentation. 2001-04-07 05:42:14 +00:00
Fred Drake b9ad228798 Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.
2001-04-07 05:41:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 4cf1227e56 Change {\em ...} to \emph{...} for consistency with the rest of the Python

2001-04-05 18:30:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c6a3cb4baf Document PySequence_Size(), and describe PySequence_Length() as simply an
alternate name for the same function.
2001-04-04 01:25:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 979d041b6f Make reference to the Library Reference in the "What Now?" chapter a
hyperlink.

Fix two English usage errors caught by Jan Wells:  Changed "subsequence"
to "sub-sequence" in two places, and avoid improper use of "hopefully" in
the first paragraph of the "What Now?" chapter.
2001-04-03 17:41:56 +00:00
Fred Drake c81d470648 Allow the <author/> element to appear before a paragraph without being
made a part of the paragraph.
2001-03-29 23:31:22 +00:00

mailing list.
2001-03-29 18:24:08 +00:00
Fred Drake cb83988151 Added example use of weak references, contributed by Tim Peters. 2001-03-28 21:15:41 +00:00

Fred Drake 21e036ccca Add a note that the "kfm" controller supports "konqueror" as well as the
old KDE 1 "kfm" command.
2001-03-26 16:17:21 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 4240bc50f6 Note missing explanation 2001-03-26 13:34:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c8da0f966f Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a
better solution would have been to factor out the raw_input() call and
make it into an overridable method.  Oh well, maybe later...)
2001-03-24 19:17:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 8f6df46d40 Strengthen the constraints on calling PyObject_GC_Fini(). 2001-03-23 17:42:09 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton aa90adcfb9 Add nested scopes spec to appendix.
Add new opcodes LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF, STORE_DEREF, MAKE_CLOSURE to
docs for dis module.

Add docs for new function and code members in Sec. 3 of ref manual.
They're present regardless of whether nested scopes are used.

Remove description of default argument hack from Sec. 7 of the ref
manual and refer the reader to the appendix.
2001-03-23 17:23:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 7190247e0b Remove the annoying __version__ definitions. 2001-03-23 17:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 3e8f921fb9 Lots of small changes to make this work with the Python DOM bindings
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.

Only write the output file on success -- this avoids updating the timestamp
on the file on failure, which confuses "make".
2001-03-23 17:01:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 2262a80fb3 Pick up the "encode" function from esistools instead of defining our own
(broken) version.

Remove Conversion.err_write() -- use dbgmsg() consistently.
2001-03-23 16:53:34 +00:00
Fred Drake a9d0450f72 No quotes around the "future" in the first use of the term "future
statement".
2001-03-23 16:47:11 +00:00
Fred Drake f6c115ff2f Re-write to no longer depend on an old version of PyXML. This now
implements a SAX XMLReader interface instead of the old Builder interface
used with PyDOM (now obsolete).

This only depends on the standard library, not PyXML.
2001-03-23 16:42:08 +00:00
Fred Drake a4699a71b8 Pick the "escape" function from the standard library instead of from PyXML. 2001-03-23 16:38:12 +00:00
Fred Drake ce19496ec1 Add conversions for more of the markup -- not all of this was around when
this file was written!
2001-03-23 16:29:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 7621fa9147 Add entry for the futures appendix in the reference manual.
Correct the comment at the top of the file.
2001-03-23 16:23:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 557c1ae150 Include the futures appendix. 2001-03-23 16:21:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 39778b705d Revise the markup so that this formats and uses markup consistently with
the rest of the documentation.
2001-03-23 16:20:46 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 324cc6ee0e Add some initial text for the appendix on future statements and nested scopes. 2001-03-23 15:29:54 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 2c84fc8a7d Note that assignments to __debug__ are illegal 2001-03-23 14:34:06 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e702481d38 Revert to ver 1.22, which was the version before the nested scopes
docs were introduced.  This loses a few small changes, but Fred says
that's okay.
2001-03-23 14:05:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 16a0b17460 Bump version number. 2001-03-23 12:12:05 +00:00
