| Fred Drake | 5a8aaa7 | 1999-07-02 14:31:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | * The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been |
| 6 | requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request |
| 7 | by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.) |
| 8 | |
| Fred Drake | 8ece804 | 1999-02-22 14:37:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | * Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self' |
| 10 | parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material |
| 11 | mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem |
| 12 | reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.) |
| 13 | |
| Fred Drake | 10682c2 | 1999-04-23 15:15:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | * In the extensions manual, more information is needed about building |
| 15 | dynamically linked extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions |
| 16 | must be linked against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime). |
| 17 | Also noted by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. |
| 18 | |
| Fred Drake | 9093834 | 1999-12-23 17:22:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | * Python/C API reference missing PyArg_ParseTuple(), |
| 20 | PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(), Py_BuildValue(). Information |
| 21 | requested by Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>. PyEval_EvalCode() |
| 22 | has also been requested. |
| 23 | |
| Fred Drake | 8d43a29 | 1999-01-12 21:31:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | * Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current |
| Fred Drake | 6a90b5e | 1999-12-21 23:02:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial |
| 26 | update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>. |
| Fred Drake | 81f4b66 | 1998-02-17 19:01:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | |
| Fred Drake | 5a8aaa7 | 1999-07-02 14:31:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | * Update the code/codeop module documentation. |
| Fred Drake | e0208cc | 1999-04-22 13:05:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | |
| Fred Drake | 6a90b5e | 1999-12-21 23:02:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | * Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * Straighten out random/whrandom. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | |
| 35 | NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE |
| 36 | --------------------- |
| 37 | |
| Fred Drake | 8d43a29 | 1999-01-12 21:31:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | * In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item |
| 39 | entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci |
| Fred Drake | 9ef8635 | 1999-04-29 04:23:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not |
| Fred Drake | 5a8aaa7 | 1999-07-02 14:31:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter |
| 42 | and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we |
| 43 | change the index entries in the text.) |
| Fred Drake | 13529c4 | 1998-07-24 13:02:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 44 | |
| 45 | * Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis |
| 46 | twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq' |
| Fred Drake | 6a90b5e | 1999-12-21 23:02:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.) |
