Fred Drake 58c8f9f631 Added documentation for PyObject_IsInstance() and PyObject_IsSubclass(). 2001-03-28 21:14:32 +00:00
Fred Drake e2645775d1 Typo: "ariables" --> "variables"
This fixes SF bug #411118.
2001-03-28 16:55:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 2bbc6974d0 Fix a number of small issues; this closes SF bug #411063. 2001-03-28 16:51:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 21e036ccca Add a note that the "kfm" controller supports "konqueror" as well as the
old KDE 1 "kfm" command.

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

Ka-Ping Yee c608fb6389 Give a slightly better explanation of excepthook. 2001-03-23 05:17:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 5e0dfaccd1 Update to the most recent weakref changes. 2001-03-23 04:36:02 +00:00

Mention the new ports
2001-03-23 03:52:46 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling ef85cc84a0 Add section for PEP 241
Add PyUnit and sys.excepthook
2001-03-23 03:29:08 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee b5c5132d1a Add sys.excepthook.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
2001-03-23 02:46:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 6909642d38 Bump the version number. 2001-03-22 17:01:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 15e07f4442 Update to the current state of the universe. 2001-03-22 17:00:05 +00:00
Fred Drake e28d8aef2d Be more clear about the specific rules for supporting the cyclic GC in an
extension object.  Also included an example showing exactly what needs to
be done and nothing else.

This closes SF bug #228591.
2001-03-22 16:30:17 +00:00
Fred Drake c392b570db Integrated an expanded version of some text from Neil Schemenauer about
supporting cyclic garbage collection.  (This is not all of it, but I'm
taking a break!)

Also fixed some markup nits.
2001-03-21 22:15:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e6d09e369 Moved the description of the tzparse module to the "Obsolete" section
and note that it fails when the TZ environment variable is not set.

This closes SF bug #409683.
2001-03-20 23:13:53 +00:00
Fred Drake f531ad698c Markup nit: For the Python documents, we use \empt instead of \textit. 2001-03-19 04:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b15bbc8d3d Add documentation for SGMLParser.handle_decl(). 2001-03-16 20:39:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 83e01bf6c8 Finally fill in the documentation for the PyDict_Next() function. It is
different enough to actually require an explanation.  ;-)

Fix a couple of PyDictObject* types that should be PyObject* types.
2001-03-16 15:41:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b0b2a4df2 Add some LaTeX magic so that Latin-1 characters do not get so badly
trashed.
2001-03-13 17:56:08 +00:00

a Py_complex C value.

Patch by Walter Dörwald.

2001-03-12 21:06:31 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 45bbda2593 Fix a further markup problem noted by FLD 2001-03-10 16:49:07 +00:00
Fred Drake f0ebbe0bd0 Re-order some method descriptions for a more logical grouping.
(Based on reader comment!)
2001-03-08 22:46:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 9eb41557ef Add more font flavors for <var> elements; the previous incarnation caused
some NT/IE5.5 users to see only boxes for these characters.  This might be
specific to NT Service Pack 6.
2001-03-08 22:17:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 859eb62108 Do not refer to "sub-modules" since that is not a defined term. 2001-03-06 07:34:00 +00:00
Fred Drake ac79e95167 Re-word the explanation of the in/not in operators for increased content
and clarity.

Add a footnote to the information on the possibility of shadowing builtins
with locals & module globals.
2001-03-06 07:32:11 +00:00
Fred Drake ce7129ea4e Turn "Python Documentation Central" into just "Documentation Central"; some
Web browsers tried to wrap lines in bad ways, so we avoid the problem by
putting fewer words on the page.
2001-03-06 07:28:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 2636572d76 Make sure the README files that contain page count information land in
the right directory (which actually exists).
2001-03-06 07:22:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 67fdaa4883 Correct typos in Ping's email address.
Remove premature use of negative indexes in string operation examples;
negative indexes have not been explained at that point, and the use of
negative indexes are not necessary for the examples.
2001-03-06 07:19:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 990b0fec1a Update documentation to reflect the shift to NetrcParseError instead of
SyntaxError.
2001-03-06 06:55:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c8f6643c6 Remove debugging "set -x". 2001-03-03 19:57:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 42119e49a9 Fix a few minor markup nits. 2001-03-03 19:47:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 6be838a0c0 Rene Liebscher <R.Liebscher@gmx.de>:
Added information on using non-Microsoft compilers on Windows.

[Minor edits for markup consistency. --FLD]
