1 PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
2 ===============================
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.)
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>.)
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>.
19 * Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
20 behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc.
22 * Update the code/codeop module documentation.
24 * In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
25 entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
26 <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
27 really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
28 and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
29 change the index entries in the text.)
31 * Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
32 twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
33 hack in tools/mkhowto.sh. (Probably not worth the trouble of
36 * Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
38 * Straighten out random/whrandom.
41 BEFORE NEXT PYTHON RELEASE, BUT NOT UNTIL THEN:
43 * Document that the mode parameter to wave.open() may be omitted, and
44 how it is determined if omitted. (Same of aifc, sunau open()
47 * Document that fpformat.NotANumber is a subclass of ValueError, has
48 the string that failed as the "exception value".
