b5309a956e Import the alltt package and wrap that environment in a similar way to
the way we handle verbatim, so that it picks up the same indentation and
minipage behavior.

697c9c9c71 In the typeset versions, the legal notices had grown past the one-page
size.  This constrains them to fit in one page again.

b9ad228798 Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.

979d041b6f Make reference to the Library Reference in the "What Now?" chapter a
hyperlink.

Fix two English usage errors caught by Jan Wells:  Changed "subsequence"
to "sub-sequence" in two places, and avoid improper use of "hopefully" in
the first paragraph of the "What Now?" chapter.

c8da0f966f Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a
better solution would have been to factor out the raw_input() call and
make it into an overridable method.  Oh well, maybe later...)

aa90adcfb9 Add nested scopes spec to appendix.
Add new opcodes LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF, STORE_DEREF, MAKE_CLOSURE to
docs for dis module.

Add docs for new function and code members in Sec. 3 of ref manual.
They're present regardless of whether nested scopes are used.

Remove description of default argument hack from Sec. 7 of the ref
manual and refer the reader to the appendix.

7190247e0b Remove the annoying __version__ definitions. 2001-03-23 17:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake
3e8f921fb9 Lots of small changes to make this work with the Python DOM bindings
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.

Only write the output file on success -- this avoids updating the timestamp
on the file on failure, which confuses "make".

2262a80fb3 Pick up the "encode" function from esistools instead of defining our own
(broken) version.

Remove Conversion.err_write() -- use dbgmsg() consistently.

a9d0450f72 No quotes around the "future" in the first use of the term "future
statement".

f6c115ff2f Re-write to no longer depend on an old version of PyXML. This now
implements a SAX XMLReader interface instead of the old Builder interface
used with PyDOM (now obsolete).

This only depends on the standard library, not PyXML.
2001-03-23 16:42:08 +00:00

a4699a71b8 Pick the "escape" function from the standard library instead of from PyXML. 2001-03-23 16:38:12 +00:00

this file was written!

e702481d38 Revert to ver 1.22, which was the version before the nested scopes
docs were introduced.  This loses a few small changes, but Fred says
that's okay.

b5c5132d1a Add sys.excepthook.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.

e28d8aef2d Be more clear about the specific rules for supporting the cyclic GC in an
extension object.  Also included an example showing exactly what needs to
be done and nothing else.

This closes SF bug #228591.

c392b570db Integrated an expanded version of some text from Neil Schemenauer about
supporting cyclic garbage collection.  (This is not all of it, but I'm
taking a break!)

Also fixed some markup nits.

4e6d09e369 Moved the description of the tzparse module to the "Obsolete" section
