c2aa9fbad9 Remove use of the avant package; Helvetica isn't as pretty, but works for 
acroread.  The problem this solves is likely dependent on font availability,
so keeping things simple is a good solution.

b193c95165 Document Ellipsis (not much of a documentation snippet, but at least 
it's mentioned.

78a6ddbdd1 Move files around in a different way, so CVS picks up all the changes. ;-) 1998-07-24 14:27:22 +00:00

3f8a59f146 Reflect file renamings for the Python Library Reference. 
Fix style dependencies for HOWTO documents.

64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for 
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!

889f53d4e0 Reduce the number of levels in the Table of Contents by one, mostly for the 
Python Library Reference.  The other manuals do not suffer.

This does not affect HOWTO documents.

13529c41e4 Remove item about one section === one module; done. 
Add item about howto docs that use \localmoduletable problem for howto
documents.

5420f3321d \textunderscore: Re-define with a width that's more appropriate for the 
courier font used in Python code.  This still isn't *good*, but
	makes the width about right in most cases.  (Exception: it's now
	a little wide in \var words.)

cf0fb8bfee Document the 'p' format character. 
Clean up some of the markup.

c457ca7ede Fix up Barry's markup, which didn't pass the latex test. ;-) 1998-07-23 20:31:53 +00:00

da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to 
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.

eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now 
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.

3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table 
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
 1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00

8cab549c0a use_latex(): Hack to pass .syn files though uniq, so that the last module 
in a HOWTO document isn't listed in the synopsis table twice.  This
	will do until the real bug is found (low priority!).

465a42a58e Added targets dvi, pdf, and ps, to make all of the documents in those formats. 1998-07-23 18:10:51 +00:00

macros.

dfb658c386 'name space' -> 'namespace' 1998-07-23 17:54:36 +00:00

a488f30627 Lots of new stuff for "module synopsis support." Public interface consists 
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:

  \declaremodule:  Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
	extension), and the module name.  An optional parameter should be
	given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
	referencing the section.  The "key" should only be given if the
	module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
	underscore's stripped.  This should be the first thing after the
	\section used to introduce the module.

  \modulesynopsis:  Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
	description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
	introduction.  This should probably be placed just after the
	\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.

  \localmoduletable:  No parameters.  If a .syn file exists for the current
	chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
	is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.

Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.

Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.

2fcadb2ffb \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the .syn file. 1998-07-23 17:36:46 +00:00
Fred Drake
1cc6d53f65 \py@ModSynopsisFilename: New macro; gives names of the "current" .syn file. 
\chapter:  Extended, ensures that a pending module synopsis is written out
	and then closes the .syn file for the preceeding chapter.

0af2f63056 Document how to make a POST request with urlopen(). 
Change the argument name for quote() and quote_plus() to safe (which
matches the implementation).

Add doc for the *new* function urlencode().

d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that 
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)
 1998-07-20 17:34:50 +00:00

a9f445cd8d Add libthreading.tex to LIBFILES. 1998-07-20 14:01:20 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling
16440e63be Added libthreading.tex ; this is mostly the contents of threading_api.py, 
with LaTeX markup added, and some small rewrites to improve the prose.

5da5a68325 Fix suggested by Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it> to keep the 
large letter at the top of each index section with at least the first entry
for that letter.

a4289a79f8 In the example iterating over sys.argv and opening each argument, 
change it to iterate over sys.argv[1:].  Suggestion by Gerry Wiener.

Guido van Rossum
5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.

Reflects Guido's revision.

8e54abe92e Fix the \kbd definition so it didn't leave the courier face on. 1998-07-01 14:49:25 +00:00

3240dd2bc2 Mark the actual SMTP commands (HELO, etc.) the same way FTP & NNTP commands 
are in the appropriate sections.

Some minor nits.

108943c216 Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system. 
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical).  A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

5b68362a3a Use the real name of the module: "smtplib", not "smtp". 
Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.

8ec619f60e Note that readline returns '' on EOF, not "EOF" (whatever that may be). 1998-06-30 16:35:25 +00:00
