- Making the LaTeX documentation for Python.
-
- You will need LaTeX2e and makeindex.
-
- There are 4 main manuals
-
- tut tutorial -- 111pp
- lib library manual -- 188pp
- ref reference manual -- 65pp (now supplied in postscript form only)
- ext extending Python -- 49pp
-
- The most useful are probably the library manual, together with the
- tutorial for new users, or the reference manual for experienced python users.
-
- qua is a paper on a use of Python that most people will not need.
-
- The library manual can include sections on parts of the library that are
- specific to other operating systems, or to python modules that are not included
- in this RiscOS port. You can select which of these you require by editing
- the file lib.tex -- add a % in front of input lines if you don't want sections
- remove them if you do.
-
- I have added sections on RiscOS specific parts of the library, but I have not
- changed other parts of the documentation to cover the few RiscOS changes
- there.
-
- To make the manuals drag the makefile to !Amu. Make "all" for all 3 manuals
- or "tut", "lib" etc for individual manuals.
-
- If you don't have !Amu you can copy the commands from the makefile into
- a task window and execute them there.
-
- If you don't have makeindex you can omit the makeindex commands and do without
- the indices.
-
- Print the manuals from the files tut.dvi, lib.dvi, ref/ps, ext.dvi .
