PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
===============================
* The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been
requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request
by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.)
* Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self'
parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material
mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem
reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.)
* In the extensions manual, more information is needed about building
dynamically linked extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions
must be linked against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime).
Also noted by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>.

* Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc.
* Update the code/codeop module documentation.

* In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
1999-04-29 04:23:37 +00:00
<lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
change the index entries in the text.)
* Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
1999-04-29 04:23:37 +00:00
hack in tools/mkhowto.sh. (Probably not worth the trouble of
fixing.)
1999-01-12 21:31:16 +00:00
* Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
1999-08-19 15:37:35 +00:00
* Straighten out random/whrandom.
1999-06-29 18:54:03 +00:00
BEFORE NEXT PYTHON RELEASE, BUT NOT UNTIL THEN:
* Document that the mode parameter to wave.open() may be omitted, and
how it is determined if omitted. (Same of aifc, sunau open()
functions.)
* Document that fpformat.NotANumber is a subclass of ValueError, has
the string that failed as the "exception value".
