Guido van Rossum bd49ac4492 The 'l' flag (locale specific matching) has been renamed to 'L'. 1997-12-10 23:05:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 736fe5e918 Document binary format and __init__-free unpickling. Added a pointer
to cPickle.
1997-12-09 20:45:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a42c17851c Turn the table for flags into a nested itemized environment. 1997-12-09 20:41:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eefcba61f4 Fix a little mess (Likecode{...} -> Like \code{...}) in recently added text. 1997-12-09 19:47:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8291bb3693 Reference to PYTHONPATH should be PYTHONSTARTUP. 1997-12-09 19:46:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28f9a68deb Added note about the module's obsolescence. 1997-12-09 19:45:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 138dac5a1b Added more warnings about ni's demise. 1997-12-09 15:03:41 +00:00
Fred Drake a2e268aa40 Mark file names with \file{} instead of \code{}. 1997-12-09 03:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake c5aec05967 Separated the definitions of ntohs(), ntohl(), htons(), htonl(). Separate
descriptions really make things look a bit better, and should improve the
ability to re-purpose the content.

Guido van Rossum 0b334104ac New version from AMK -- with minor corrections to make it legal latex. 1997-12-08 17:33:40 +00:00
Fred Drake f3d729c8f9 Fixed SFT #23842: leave in non-standard style options when checking in an
update.  ;-(
1997-12-08 15:48:35 +00:00
Fred Drake e907208b30 Some reorganization (all limit operations & constants together, and all usage
functions and constants together).

Make explicit datadesc sections for each of the constants which might appear,
and have a description of each.  (Descriptions are based on the Linux
documentation and sources and the Solaris man pages.)

Hopefully Jeremy won't mind, because I didn't ask.  ;-)

Fred Drake 0d3b4f8beb Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed.
Remove spurious underscore following book title.  Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.

Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 98b032a7c0 Removed unnecessary escaping. 1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cf87496a6 Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job.
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.

Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7381e28399 Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left
shift.

Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c2297c1ce9 Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere.
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.

Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.

Guido van Rossum ab76af3d65 Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro). 1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 456035f4b1 The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions
to use the opcodedesc environment.

Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.

Fixed a typo:  "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent.  Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me.  It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project.  Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.

Guido van Rossum 240ddc8a68 Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart. 1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3593e5c4c3 Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object. 1997-12-02 19:15:01 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 433c8ca328 Removed Queue.py. It's documented now. 1997-12-01 16:35:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 798654fc68 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing
the documentation here.
1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the
wrong module.
1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied
to get the actual prompt).
1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
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 f259efe3d9 Get rid of math mode in some places. 1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
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 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +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.
1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.
