Documentation update

The links have all been updated from the current docs on python.org.

Have a nice day

Trac upgraded on projects.edgewall.com

We've upgraded Trac on projects.edgewall.com to the latest snapshot. This thould fix random outages due to mod_python misbehavior.

A humble apology to everyone who's had trouble accessing the Trac project page lately.

Also, kudos to everyone who reported the problems. It's been tricky to reproduce at times, but the upgrade should've done the trick.

Thanks,

The Janitor

An Idea: Live search for Python Documentation

Here's an idea stirring in my mind lately.

I've been playing around with various implementations of browser auto-completion. This, combined with the XMLHttpRequest allows for some pretty nifty ''live search'' widgets.

I'm planning to add a search functionality like this to the python sidebar, probably using Swish-E and a custom search term ''extraction'' script to scrape the documentation.

When you type in the search field, the results should be weighted and prioritized like:

1. Built-in object names
2. Standard Module names
3. Standard Class names (in modules)
4. Documentation headings

Selecting the result should open the relevant documentation page in the main browser window.

A Python Sidebar

To allow easy and quick access to the current Python documentation when programming, I wrote a simple sidebar for the Mozilla family of browsers.

It displays the table of contents for the commonly used parts of the Python documentation, providing an accessible index at all times.

Hope others will find it useful.
