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 * 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.
24 * Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
25 behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial
26 update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>.
28 * Update the code/codeop module documentation.
30 * Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
32 * Straighten out random/whrandom.
38 * In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
39 entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
40 <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
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.)
45 * Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
46 twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
47 hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.)
