Fred Drake 15f06661c1 Added deprecation notices to atof(), atoi(), and atol(), recommending
use of the float(), int(), and long() built-ins instead.

Fixed minor markup nit elsewhere (use of \optional).

Fred Drake c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.

Fred Drake 63eb6300a9 Remove styling information that conflicts with or duplicates the stylesheet;
different browsers resolve the conflicts differently, and the "proper"
resolution is not what we actually want.

Reported by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.

Fred Drake 0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.

Fred Drake 1654b43ef7 Preliminary tool to troll through the CVS logs and LaTeX sources for
the names of people that should be in the ACKS file.

This relies on some personal code that is not yet available, but should
be by the time we release 2.0c1.

Barry Warsaw 5b4c22806f _PyUnicode_Fini(): Initialize the local freelist walking variable `u'
after unicode_empty has been freed, otherwise it might not point to
the real start of the unicode_freelist.  Final closure for SF bug
#110681, Jitterbug PR#398.

Fred Drake 1319e3ecbc Remove old note that os.popen() on Windows is unreliable; this is no
longer true.

Guido van Rossum f19a7ac220 Fix a few problems with the _Printer class and the license variable.
1. repr(license) will no longer print to stdout and read from stdin;
you have to use license().  `license` is a short message explaining
this.

2. Use lazy initialization so that startup isn't slowed down by the
search for the LICENSE file.

3. repr(license) actually returns the desired string, rather than
printing to stdout and returning ''.  (Why didn't we think of this
before?)

4. Use the pythonlabs license URL as the license fallback instead of
the CNRI license handle.

Thomas Wouters 12e1595e28 Clarify that isatty is only guaranteed to return true for slave ends of
terminals, not the master end (though it does, on most systems.)
2000-10-03 16:54:24 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f2c1be22f2 On some systems (like Solaris), the master end of a tty/pty pair is
apparently not considered a terminal, and so isatty(3) returns false. So we
skip the test for ttyness of the master side and just check the slave side,
which should really be a terminal.

Fred Drake 13589c6a52 Bump the release number for the upcoming candidate. 2000-10-03 16:50:48 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 65d4bc616a Fixed negative lookahead/lookbehind. Closes bug #115618. 2000-10-03 16:29:23 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 84294487df _PyImport_Fini(): Closed small memory leak when an embedded app calls
Py_Initialize()/Py_Finalize() in a loop.  _PyImport_Filetab needed to
be deallocated.  Partial closure of SF #110681, Jitterbug PR#398.

Fred Drake e35360ffd0 Jim Ahlstrom sent a few corrections to my changes. (Thanks!) 2000-10-03 15:16:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5191463276 Undo Ping's change.
CGI scripts should *not* use /usr/bin/env, since on systems that don't
come standard with Python installed, Python isn't on the default $PATH.

Too bad that this breaks on Linux, where Python is in /usr/bin which
is on the default path -- the point is that you must manually edit
your CGI scripts when you install them.
2000-10-03 13:51:09 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 099e534fa4 Change first line to #!/usr/bin/env python (really just to test check-in). 2000-10-03 08:32:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f84c9b55e $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
        testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
        false anyway.

get_link_icon():  Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
        $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
        being used.  This can make for faster page display.  Both are
        optional.

make_my_titlegraphic():  Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.

do_env_funcdesc():  Remove debugging print.

handle_rfclike_reference():  Remove trailing colon from first line; it
        doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
        mark off-site links.
2000-10-03 06:05:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 58a2dff7f4 Replace minimal \seetext references with better annotated \seerfc
references, telling the reader more about what to expect at the other end
of the links.

Greg Ward da175f4bdd Bump version to 1.0. 2000-10-03 03:48:43 +00:00
Greg Ward 25a309c0a9 Remove some debugging prints. 2000-10-03 03:32:37 +00:00
Greg Ward a9d37835ad Fixed so --no-compile is a negative alias for --compile. 2000-10-03 03:31:52 +00:00
Greg Ward 9216cfe7ba Added a long-winded comment (and commented-out comment to go with out)
about how it would be nice to write absolute paths to the temporary
byte-compilation script, but this doesn't work because it screws up the
trailing-slash trickery done to 'prefix' in build_py's 'byte_compile()'
method.

Fixed to use 'execute()' instead of 'os.remove()' to remove the temporary
script: now it doesn't blow up in dry-run mode!
2000-10-03 03:31:05 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d52755f41c Provide a clearer error message when urlopen fails because of an
invalid proxy setting.

Minor change to call of unknown_url; always pass data argument
explicitly since data defaults to None.

PEP 42: Add as a feature that urllib handle proxy setting that contain
only the host and port of the proxy.

Fred Drake 4dc1a6d6ba Added some comments on the interaction of reload() and extension modules.
Based on comments from Chris Barker <cbarker@jps.net>.

Fred Drake 296b8f5bd2 Add deprecation note since the XML support is shaping up. 2000-10-02 22:14:09 +00:00
Fred Drake d254c0095c Remove redundent information from a docstring. 2000-10-02 22:11:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 8093b70a12 Minor change to attributes so that the stylesheets can have better control. 2000-10-02 21:26:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 0422e7f815 Remove comment about -lucb for the mmap module -- the module has been
changed so that this is no longer needed on the only platform this is
known to have been needed on.

Fixed on indentation-related consistency nit.
2000-10-02 21:20:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 484d735f1e Delay import of py_compile until needed, since is is only used by the
PyZipFile class.

End sentences in docstrings with periods.

Reformat docstrings to be more similar to those of other modules.
2000-10-02 21:14:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 427802470a Substantially revised documentation for the zipfile module, partially based
on revised text from Jim Ahlstrom <jim@interet.com>.

This closes SourceForge bug #115681.

Fred Drake 5df72f0632 Minor stylesheet nit. 2000-10-02 17:36:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1ea64ea3ab Supporting rl_library_version is more trouble than it's worth --
readline doesn't have it before readline 2.2 and there's no
compile-time way to find out which readline version is in use.

Sigh.  GNU readline sucks.
2000-10-02 15:53:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 3105f920bf Added Daniel Dittmar, for helping get the configuration working for
Reliant UNIX.
2000-10-02 14:52:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a40c0702e make_icon_filename(): Convenience function to turn a partial filename
into a usable filename using $ICONSERVER and
                       $IMAGE_TYPE as needed.

get_link_icon():  Function to examine a URL and return the string to use
                  to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed
                  and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set.

Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.

Jeremy Hylton 625915eb4f typo 2000-10-02 13:43:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e3c3b27d33 Fix a bug in stack overflow error handling. This fixes half of Bug
#115555.

The error from s_push() on stack overflow was -1, which was passed
through unchanged by push(), but not tested for by push()'s caller --
which only expected positive error codes.  Fixed by changing s_push()
to return E_NOMEM on stack overflow.  (Not quite the proper error code
either, but I can't be bothered adding a new E_STACKOVERFLOW error
code in all the right places.)

Fred Drake f6791f3d12 Minor usage fix.
Add a note that some way of reliably detecting the use of KDE would be
really nice.
2000-10-02 03:42:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 3944a01713 Do not set Konquerer to be the default browser if $KDEDIR is set -- some
Linux distributions which provide both KDE and Gnome set this environment
variable even if the user is not using KDE.  We do *not* want to start
Konquerer if KDE is not running unless the user actually tells us to!
2000-10-02 03:40:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d3312f4d1 Add documentation and warnings for the isCallable(), isMappingType(),
isNumberType(), and isSequenceType() functions.
