7f1fdfcdaf Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu. 1999-08-26 23:06:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum
416b961be8 Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)

Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
location can't be predicted).  Windows solution TBD.

f6199edcd3 Conversion.subconvert(): Added support for "entityref" parameters
(must be named in the conversion spec.).

TableParser.start_entityref():  New method.  Use to support creating
        entity references via the conversion specification.

762e206706 posix_putenv(): Constrain memory leakage when setting the same
environment variable repeatedly.  I posted this to the list
        some time ago, but only now got around to asking g--d- what he
        thought about it.

Added some optional arguments to the XMLParser __init__ method to
specify that selected non-standard constructs are to be accepted.
Also removed the documentation for handle_entityrefs since it isn't
used.

"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85.  In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.

Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.

Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).

Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk.  Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.

Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.

c6a164b8bc Port inet_ntoa and inet_aton to Windows:
- fix unescaped newline in string literal
- removed unused err variable
- Windows doesn't have inet_aton; use inet_addr instead

e61e98d2ae Add calls to self.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.destroy) to the Tk
and Toplevel class constructors.  This means that if the window
manager closes the window, the Python-side Tkinter data structures
will be destroyed correctly.  (Most apps do this anyway, and it's
recommended practice; I see no reason why making it the default
behavior could be bad.)

abf8a1daa8 rewrite_descriptor(): Fix bug that dropped the first TEXT node from
<description> elements.  Add another sanity
                       check to make sure a special case only becomes
                       involved for <opcodedesc> and <opcodedescni>
                       elements.

fixup_paras_helper():  Clean up control flow.

Everywhere that checks node.nodeType==ELEMENT and node.tagName now
just check node.nodeName (nodeName is guaranteed for all node types
and will be special values that don't conflict with GIs for
non-ELEMENT nodes).  Simplifies a number of tests and improves
readability in a lot of places.

772d69676e __update(): Jeremy Hylton reports occurances of sunaudiodev.error
(interrupted system call) when getting the device information.  I've
never seen it, but this patch should take care of the problem.

If we get that exception and we're polling, just return since we'll
wake up again soon and get the right information.  If we're not
polling, try 4 times and then give up.
