1 PYTHON DOCUMENTATION TO-DO LIST -*- indented-text -*-
2 ===============================
7 * Figure out HTMLHelp generation for the Windows world.
9 * Straighten out random/whrandom. Things are generally in the right
10 place, but need to respond to comments in email from Jan Kim
11 <kim@mpiz-koeln.mpg.de>.
17 * The "Very High Level Interface" in the API document has been
18 requested; I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill in a bit there. Request
19 by Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>. (Partly done.)
21 * Describe implementing types in C, including use of the 'self'
22 parameter to the method implementation function. (Missing material
23 mentioned in the Extending & Embedding manual, section 1.1; problem
24 reported by Clay Spence <cspence@sarnoff.com>.) Heavily impacts one
25 chapter of the Python/C API manual.
27 * Missing PyArg_ParseTuple(), PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(),
28 Py_BuildValue(). Information requested by Greg Kochanski
29 <gpk@bell-labs.com>. PyEval_EvalCode() has also been requested.
34 * More information is needed about building dynamically linked
35 extensions in C++. Specifically, the extensions must be linked
36 against the C++ libraries (and possibly runtime). Also noted by
37 Albert Hofkamp <a.hofkamp@wtb.tue.nl>.
42 * Document the Extended Call Syntax in the language reference.
45 * Document new comparison support for recursive objects (lang. ref.?
46 library ref.? (cmp() function). [Jeremy Hylton]
48 * Augmented assignment. [Thomas Wouters]
53 * urllib2 module reference. [Jeremy Hylton]
55 * Update the pickle documentation to describe all of the current
56 behavior; only a subset is described. __reduce__, etc. Partial
57 update submitted by Jim Kerr <jbkerr@sr.hp.com>.
59 * Update the httplib documentation to match Greg Stein's HTTP/1.1
60 support and new classes. (Greg, this is yours!)
62 * SSL support in the socket module is not documented.
67 * Update tutorial to use string methods and talk about backward
68 compatibility of same.
74 * In the indexes, some subitem entries are separated from the item
75 entries by column- or page-breaks. Reported by Lorenzo M. Catucci
76 <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>. This one will be hard; probably not
77 really worth the pain. (Only an issue at all when a header-letter
78 and the first index entry get separated -- can change as soon as we
79 change the index entries in the text.) Also only a problem in the
82 * Fix problem with howto documents getting the last module synopsis
83 twice (in \localmoduletable) so we can get rid of the ugly 'uniq'
84 hack in tools/mkhowto. (Probably not worth the trouble of fixing.)
