38178fd951 use_sans_serif(),
use_italics():  Remove both functions, inlining use_italics() at its
                only call site.

init_myformat():  Uncomment line so that some internal markup does not
                  get generated, since it is not properly removed later.
                  (Fix on aspect of SourceForge bug #114749.)

Modified call to process_commands_wrap_deferred(), removing \code from
the list since it had a bad interaction with other changes in some contexts.

544de1effb - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the
collector will be saved in gc.garbage.  This is useful for debugging a
  program that creates reference cycles.

- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.

343ad7a572 Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial.
<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.

Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the
change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6).

Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.

f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:
Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.

3578b77312 Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

1bf4e93180 Convert the longest two tables from tableii to longtableii so they do not
make too big a mess.  One actually did not fit on a single page at all!

da72b93a01 Add new environments: longtableii, longtableiii, and longtableiv, to

identical to tableii, tableiii, and tableiv.

df84facf0d .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex
once if all the temporary files are available from building
               a DVI file.  This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.

d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

02c7082745 make_nav_sectref(): Create more minimal HTML, hanging the class attribute
off an existing anchor tag if available (I think it

1de8098ca6 Repaired some glitches in the MD5 and SHA docs; copied the descriptions of
the MD5 methods into the SHA docs (substituting "sha" for "md5", of course,
and changing the stuff that depended on digest size accordingly).
Fred, don't trust me!

634fc574e1 Use a really ugly hack that depends on output processing by LaTeX2HTML.
This replaces the tilde character with the string ";SPMtilde;", which
LaTeX2HTML converts to a tilde on output.
