Distribution formats
by Fred L. Drake, Jr. Oct. 2, 2003

Oct. 2, 2003

We're currently distributing 21 different files for the documentation for a single Python release. This includes 3 compression formats for the HTML, LaTeX, PDF (2 paper sizes), and PostScript (2 paper sizes) formats, 2 compression formats for the GNU info, and 1 for the iSilo format. I'd like to cut back a little. ;-) Is there anyone currently relying on the gzipped archives who can't use the bzip2 archives? (How about the ZIP users? Can they rely on gzip or bzip2 archives?) I'd appreciate feedback on this. Thanks! -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation

This also affects the Windows "HTML Help" format documentation, where the string and list methods don't make it into the contents "tree" display in the left hand pane. Paul.

Doc freeze for Python 2.3.1
by fdrake01＠comcast.net Sept. 23, 2003

Sept. 23, 2003

Python's Doc/ tree should be considered frozen on the release23-maint branch. I've made the version number updates, but the machine I normally build the documentation on is having some connectivity problems (which hopefully can be resolved tomorrow morning). Using what I have available to me now, I should be able to build everything but the iSilo version of the docs; I don't think a delay for those is needed; they can be added when available. -Fred -- Fred L.

Online article about HeyHeyWickie using Docutils
by Dinu Gherman Sept. 4, 2003

Sept. 4, 2003

Hi, I'm glad the folks at Linux-Magazine.com have put an article of mine (appearing in the october 2003 issue) on their site for people to download. It's about an experimental WikiWiki which builds on Doc- utils and EmPy. It describes neither of these two in detail, but shows instead what you can do with them. Subsequent versions of HeyHeyWickie will also be available. My web pages on the Starship Python were also generated using it (not en- tirely converted yet...). This is also where you can find a link to the online PDF document: http://python.net/~gherman/Publications.html I hope you enjoy reading it, Dinu -- Dinu C.
