PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been
|
|
requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request
|
|
by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.)
|
|
|
|
* Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self'
|
|
parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material
|
|
mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem
|
|
reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.)
|
|
|
|
* In the extensions manual, more information is needed about building
|
|
dynamically linked extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions
|
|
must be linked against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime).
|
|
Also noted by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>.
|
|
|
|
* Python/C API reference missing PyArg_ParseTuple(),
|
|
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(), Py_BuildValue(). Information
|
|
requested by Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>. PyEval_EvalCode()
|
|
has also been requested.
|
|
|
|
* Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
|
|
behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial
|
|
update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>.
|
|
|
|
* Update the code/codeop module documentation.
|
|
|
|
* Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
|
|
|
|
* Straighten out random/whrandom.
|
|
|
|
* Update the filecmp documentation (Moshe?).
|
|
|
|
* Update the httplib documentation to match Greg Stein's HTTP/1.1
|
|
support and new classes. (Greg, this is yours!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
|
|
entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
|
|
<lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
|
|
really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
|
|
and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
|
|
change the index entries in the text.)
|
|
|
|
* Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
|
|
twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
|
|
hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.)
