This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the
|
|
|
|
standard modules that come with the Python system. It assumes basic
|
|
|
|
knowledge about the Python language. For an informal introduction to
|
|
|
|
the language, see the Python Tutorial. The Python Reference Manual
|
|
|
|
gives a more formal definition of the language. (These manuals are not
|
|
|
|
yet available in INFO or Texinfo format.)

This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the

|
knowledge about the Python language. For an informal introduction to

the language, see the @cite{Python Tutorial}. The @cite{Python

* ext.tex: documentation for extending, reference counts, and embedding
(formerly ../misc/{EXTENDING,REFCNT,EMBEDDING}). Also affects Makefile.
* text2latex.py: script to do part of the conversion from an plain ASCI
text file (in my particular style) to LaTeX.
(Chapter/section/subsection headers, and verbatim sections.)
* partparse.py, texipre.dat, fix.el, Makefile: Minor cleanup of latex ->
info conversion process (at least it works again, and with less
debugging output). Removed fix.sh.
* lib1.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): adapt description of str() and
repr() to new situation.
* lib3.tex (Module os): added exec*() variants.
* lib3.tex (Module posix): added execve().
* lib2.tex (Module array): documented reality; remove typecode and
itemsize, add byteswap, rename read/write to fromfile/tofile, and
re-alphabetized.
* lib1.tex (Built-in Functions): renamed bagof() to filter().
