| Guido van Rossum | 7f777ed | 1990-08-09 14:25:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | This directory contains the source to the Python documentation. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Unfortunately it's not not very readable, complete or up-to-date yet -- |
| 4 | in other words, I'm still working on it! |
| 5 | |
| 6 | There are four documents and a macro file: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | macros.ms macros .so'ed by the documents |
| 9 | |
| 10 | paper.ms conference paper about Python |
| 11 | intro.ms informal introduction to Python |
| 12 | ref.ms Python language reference manual |
| 13 | modules.ms description of standard modules |
| 14 | |
| 15 | XXX There should also be a man page. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | To typeset one of the documents on the default Postscript printer, chdir |
| 18 | to this directory (otherwise the macros aren't found!) and issue the |
| 19 | command |
| 20 | |
| 21 | pstroff -ms file.ms |
| 22 | |
| 23 | When typesetting all documents, issue a separate command for each. |
