27761f39a5 Patch #500136: Update Update ext build documentation. 2.2.1 candidate. 2002-03-09 10:06:14 +00:00

cc8f44b884 Split "Extending & Embedding" into separate files, one per chapter. 2001-08-20 19:30:29 +00:00

ce1650f3a5 A large contribution from Dave Kuhlman describing what each of the slots 
in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots.
Thanks!

(But there is still a lot more to write on this topic.)
Markup and organizational changes by your friendly neighborhood
documentation czar.

53765753c4 Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed 
by Albert Hofkamp.  Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.

This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.

(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)

3332778f35 Corrected a section reference (title was wrong). 
Added information on the return values of PyArg_ParseTuple() and
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().

7a889ceb1e Minor change to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake
15e33d828c Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

6f15e5796e Added new parser markers 'et' and 'et#' which do not recode string 
objects but instead assume that they use the requested encoding.

This is needed on Windows to enable opening files by passing in
Unicode file names.

93fe96a3c8 Py_BuildValue(): Add "D" conversion to create a Python complex value from 
a Py_complex C value.

Patch by Walter Dörwald.

80d4c07775 There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one. 
(There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed
post-beta.)

0539bfaaa4 There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the comments 
on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case.

Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's
variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader
thought that was a leak.

Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.

f6a9617ba0 Michael Hudson <mwh21@cam.ac.uk>: 
New material on defining extension types.  Thanks!

(Small markup adjustments made, but this is mostly as received.)

bcb09fa33f Worked around bug SF #125880: changed the text of three sections that 
really nasty TeX source to "bleed" into the PDF "bookmarks".

4bc0aed3a6 Fix cut & paste error that describes three paramters when there are only 
two [bug #119729].

Update use of distutils.sysconfig that "broke" when Greg W. changed the API
[bug #119645].

appropriate place.

3578b77312 Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects: 
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>: 
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.
