e22e4b2b59 Oops. The value "0 or +1" for the category argument of PyErr_Warn() 
doesn't work.  Make it 0.  (Although it really *should* be 0 or +1 --
the refcount is incremented when it is raised as an exception, but not
otherwise.)

9a18a7ed03 Document Pyerr_Warn(). 
Add an XXX comment at the beginning expressing disappointment over the
confusing way refcount behavior of arguments is documented.

2b6d7bc151 Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point 
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

5100133685 urlretrieve() description included explanation of "data" parameter, but

de77bc5468 For the title page, insert the package version number before the date. 
This makes the title area more like the title are of the top-level
index, and puts the information more people are interested in first.

5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists, 
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

9a29dd6580 Lots of small improvements and bits of added information on the DOM API. 2000-12-08 06:54:51 +00:00
Fred Drake
c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX): 
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.
 2000-12-07 04:54:02 +00:00

0c47559352 Added a note that objects which emulate built-in types should only 
implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.

e463f8e4cd A few small refinements to the table building code. 2000-11-30 07:17:27 +00:00
Fred Drake
c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary; 
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
 2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake
e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents 
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.

6b3f3f2861 In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the 
Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code.  Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

This closes bug #123398.

f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation 
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
 2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake
eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API 
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.

Fred Drake
83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO 
modules, otherwise the behavior is just plain confusing.

0a0ef8696b Use a subclass of buildindex.Node to clean up the HTML and get the 
ordering fixed up (this makes sure that "xml.dom" comes before
"xml.dom.minidom" in the Module Index, which was not true before because
some HTML cruft crept into the data structures).
