The documentation for Python 1.5.2 is now available. The online
|
|
version is available at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.python.org/doc/
|
|
|
|
Archives of the documentation in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, and PostScript
|
|
formats are available at the same location, and may also be downloaded
|
|
via FTP from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions or comments on the documentation, please
|
|
send email to:
|
|
|
|
python-docs at python.org
|
|
|
|
Many modules have been documented (166 total!), including both new
|
|
and old modules. There have been some additional refinements of the
|
|
"look" of the online version, especially for those of you with CSS
|
|
enabled in your Web browsers. There is also more extensive
|
|
hyperlinking within the Python Library Reference for your convenience.
|
|
|
|
A new document, "Documenting Python", is now included. Though still
|
|
young, this is a useful reference for documentation contributors. It
|
|
includes a great deal of information on the markup used for the Python
|
|
documentation, as well as a discussion of where we'll go from here.
|
|
|
|
Windows users: If you installed Python using the installer rather
|
|
than by building from source, you can get the updated documentation by
|
|
downloading the HTML archive and unpacking it into the "Doc" directory
|
|
of your installation.
|
|
|
|
Some re-organization of the documentation area on the Web site
|
|
should make it easier to locate and download documentation.
|
|
|
|
Thanks go out to all the individuals who have contributed sections
|
|
or sent in comments and bug reports; this release of the documentation
|
|
is substantially better thanks to the efforts of the Python community!
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
