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.)
