1 PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
2 ===============================
7 * Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
13 * The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been
14 requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request
15 by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.)
17 * Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self'
18 parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material
19 mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem
20 reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.) Heavily impacts one
21 chapter of the Python/C API manual.
23 * Missing PyArg_ParseTuple(), PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(),
24 Py_BuildValue(). Information requested by Greg Kochanski
25 <gpk@bell-labs.com>. PyEval_EvalCode() has also been requested.
30 * More information is needed about building dynamically linked
31 extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions must be linked
32 against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime). Also noted by
33 Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>.
38 * Document the Extended Call Syntax in the language reference.
41 * Document new comparison support for recursive objects (lang. ref.?
42 library ref.? (cmp() function). [Jeremy Hylton]
47 * Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
48 behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial
49 update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>.
51 * Update the httplib documentation to match Greg Stein's HTTP/1.1
52 support and new classes. (Greg, this is yours!)
57 * Update tutorial to use string methods and talk about backward
58 compatibility of same.
64 * In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
65 entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
66 <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
67 really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
68 and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
69 change the index entries in the text.) Also only a problem in the
72 * Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
73 twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
74 hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.)
