Clarified start parameter to Py_CompileString, documented
...
Py_eval_input, Py_file_input, and Py_single_input.
Problems reported by Aaron Brancotti <aaron@icona.it>.

Started documentation on buffer objects & types. Very preliminary.
...
Greg Stein: Please help with this; it's your baby!
1999-08-04 13:13:24 +00:00
32bc45f737
Removed PyMapping_Clear() -- it was wishful thinking and serves no
...
great purpose.
1999-08-02 20:49:37 +00:00
dab44682c2
PyCObject_FromVoidPtr(): Clarify that the destr function will only be

1999-02-17 23:09:05 +00:00
66b989c805

Warn that AddModule doesn't import the module.

0a0f11b6d4
PyMapping_SetItemString() returns int, not an object.
1998-10-16 17:43:53 +00:00
ed9dcc10f8
Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by
...
PyInterpreterState_New() and PyThreadState_New() -- but that you may
use it to serialize calls to them.
1998-08-07 18:28:03 +00:00
9f86b662d1
Update to use a separate page for front matter.
1998-07-28 21:55:19 +00:00
a937d14898
Fred's right -- we need PyList_SET_ITEM().
1998-04-24 18:22:02 +00:00
f8830d1de5
Convert recent additions to use new, "logical" markup.
...
I suppose we really do need a markup guide. -sigh-
1998-04-23 14:06:01 +00:00
4447513e94
Filled in some more blanks, with the help of Drew Csillag.

Some patches by Drew Csillag; plus a few of my own uncommitted changes.
1998-04-14 20:21:10 +00:00
003d8da779
Typo: (and often severly limited) -- severely
...
Typo: (but not to the tuple or list into which the item it put!) -- is put
Thanks, AMK!
1998-04-13 00:53:42 +00:00
c94d9348ca
In descriptions of Py_GetPrefix() and Py_GetExecPrefix(), make sure the
...
"--" at the start of the configure options isn't collapsed to "-" when the
HTML is generated.
1998-04-12 02:39:13 +00:00
2de75ec245
Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
...
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).
1998-04-09 14:12:11 +00:00
7e9d3148d1
Capitalize "Python" for consistency.
1998-04-03 05:02:28 +00:00
c6fa34e4d0
Markup consistency & nits.
...
Fix typo in a C code example: KeyError is spelled PyExc_KeyError in C; the
"K" is upper case!
Some index entries.
On function signatures, always use parameter names. Make return types match
what's in the header files. When the return type is a pointer, always omit
the space between te type name and the "*"; leaving it in results in
type * func(..)
and having two spaces there just looks terrible.
1998-04-02 06:47:24 +00:00
f3aa0e0627
Revert the index stuff to work better with LaTeX2HTML.
1998-03-17 06:23:13 +00:00
7d20ffe245
Adjust the index inclusion for the new index support.
1998-03-09 16:39:22 +00:00
6659c30b67
Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
...
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
1998-03-03 22:02:19 +00:00
f39ed67fa2
Added \label{}s for logical addressing.
1998-02-26 22:01:23 +00:00

PyFile_FromFile() description: make sure the closing brace for the arguments
...
comes after the arguments are complete.
1998-02-25 15:40:22 +00:00
7baf3d4ea7
Fixed typo reported by Vladimir Marangozov <Vladimir.Marangozov@imag.fr>.
1998-02-20 00:45:52 +00:00
9d20ac36a9
Removed various "(New in 1.5a?!)" constructs. Other notes pertaining to
...
versioning remain intact.
1998-02-16 15:27:08 +00:00
4de05a90be
Place C typedef for Py_complex after brief description, to be more consistent
...
with the other example of a structure description (struct _frozen).
Added index entries for the modules referenced in the document.
1998-02-16 14:25:26 +00:00
53fb7723ee
Added index enties for the Python built-in functions, where appropriate.
1998-02-16 06:23:20 +00:00
e058b4f124
Lots of nitty-gritty stuff:
...
Use \emph{} when referring to title of any of the Python manuals, like is
done in the other manuals.
In some places, use \emph{} or \dfn{} instead of ``...''.
Use \samp{} instead of \code{} when marking identifier prefixes.
Use logical markup wherever it made sense.
Fixed a bunch of typos.
In several places, use "---" instead of "--" to get the emdash.
Start sentences with capital letters and end them with periods, as needed.
"it's" --> "its" in many places: "it's" it *always* a contraction of "it is",
and "its" should always be used for the possessive.
"don't" --> "doesn't"
"should discards any" --> "should discard any"
In C function descriptions, use \var{} to mark parameters in the running
text instead of \code{}. This matches usage in the other manauls better,
and is more consistent with the formatting of the function signatures.
Lots of little changes to implement this.
Lots of fixups needed due to appearant heavy cut-&-paste in the orignal
document.
Mention that the exception objects may be either classes or strings,
depending on the use of -X; they were unequivocally stated to be strings
in the section "Standard Exceptions".
"mkvalue()" --> "Py_BuildValue()"
Description of PyNumber_Power() indicates that the third value is option,
but not how to indicate that it was omitted. Clarified.
Explain the behavior of PyString_FromStringAndSize() if the buffer is NULL.
Explain the Py_complex structure a little (tell what it's used for) and use
a {verbatim} environment for the structure definition itself.
Fix explanation of PyFile_SoftSpace().
Update the example version string to 1.5.
Combined the sections on defining new object types.
1998-02-16 06:15:35 +00:00
2a4646c660
Remove obsolete pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.
1998-02-13 07:08:56 +00:00
e5bc49785c
"ASCII" --> "\ASCII{}"
1998-02-12 23:36:49 +00:00
e5bf8b2c79
Reorganized a bit. No changed content.
...
Guido, please take a look at new structure, at least the ToC.
1998-02-12 21:22:28 +00:00
f44617d298
For sections describing the "Foo Protocol", consistently use the capitalized
...
"Protocol" and not "protocol".
1998-02-12 20:57:15 +00:00
faa1afe2d7
Py_Exit(status) calls exit(status), not exit(0).
1998-02-12 20:51:02 +00:00
c6c921a4de
Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions not
...
calling the Python API.
1998-01-26 19:16:27 +00:00
4d4f9e726a
Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents.
1998-01-13 22:25:02 +00:00
b0a78738ea
Consistency:
...
"Unix" ==> "\UNIX{}"
"C" ==> "\C{}"
"C++" ==> "\Cpp{}"
1998-01-13 18:51:10 +00:00
dca8792b52
Added openright option the the \documentclass{} for each of the manuals.
1998-01-13 16:53:23 +00:00
1f8449af4e
Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibility
...
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.
1998-01-09 05:36:43 +00:00
85a5c52752
Descriptions for PyRun_String(), PyRun_File(), and PyRun_CompileString() all
...
gave the return type as part of the function field and used an empty return
type field. Fixed.
Function name field for PyLong_FromString() included an asterisk at the
beginning of the function name field; removed.
1998-01-02 03:24:19 +00:00
5b8a523538
A whole bunch of typos fixed by Andrew Kuchling.
...
Added a warning about the incompleteness to the front.
Added a reminder about CObject to the back.
1997-12-30 04:38:44 +00:00
580aa8dbc3
Several changes, e.g. restructuring of the intro to be closer to what
...
it ought to be. Maybe the last checkin before 1.5b1 is released.
1997-11-25 15:34:51 +00:00
36fbe76a45
struct _frozen:
...
Use spaces instead of tabs to indent structure definition; tabs don't
work in tex/latex.
PyImport_FrozenModules:
struct _freeze ==> struct _frozen
1997-10-13 18:18:33 +00:00
9faf4c57b0
Change title to {Python/C API Reference Manual}; remove \bcode \ecode
...
which appears to be out of fashion in this file.
1997-10-07 14:38:54 +00:00
c44d3d6664
Done with tread state descriptions. Sigh!
1997-10-06 05:10:47 +00:00
42cefd03cf
Checkpoint. Added docs for the new exception handling APIs and for
...
the interfaces defined in import.h.

Consistently change Python-C API to Python/C API; added lots of new
...
introductory text for reference counts and error handling, with good
examples.
1997-08-17 18:02:23 +00:00

Just another checkin for backup. Nothing substantial yet.
1997-05-22 20:11:52 +00:00
9231c8f176
Made a start with api.tex, the Python-C API Reference Manual.
...
Removed extref.tex (which provided the starting point).
Also removed qua.tex, which is out of date and no longer needed.
