Guido van Rossum 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.

Fred Drake cb91e7bbd3 Added the "italic correction" command ("\/") to the list of ignored commands.
There is at least one of there in the library reference, and this reduces
the warning count.  We *do* know what to do with it!

Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation;
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.

Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 2d9feeddf3 Change the option used on Linux to export all symbols
from the main program to shared libraries.  On mklinux, the old

both there and on Intel Linux platforms.

Guido van Rossum 7d5b99d8bf A new standard module, as discussed on comp.lang.python, to simplify
the writing of filters.

Typical use is:

    import fileinput
    for line in fileinput.input():
        process(line)

This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:],
defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is
'-'.

There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the
input files.

section was last revised...
1997-11-20 21:03:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum db847bd9ea Plug memory leak in Py_BuildValue when using {...} to construct dictionaries. 1997-11-20 20:35:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3d96d522ec (Queue.Empty): When class based exceptions are in force, derive this
class from the standard base exception Exception.  Otherwise define
Queue.Empty as a string exception.

(Queue): 8-space to 4-space indentation conversion.  Also, basically
recast all method comments into docstrings.
1997-11-20 19:56:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module.
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.

Guido van Rossum eef1d4e8b1 User-level locale module. A wrapper around _locale which adds
format(), str(), atof(), and atoi().  The last three are locale
sensitive versions of the corresponding standard functions (only for
numbers though); format() does general %[efg] formatting taking the
locale into account, optionally with thousands grouping.
1997-11-19 19:01:43 +00:00
