<center><h2> API Documentation </h2></center>
34
<p> This document contains the API (Application Programming Interface)
35
documentation for this project. Documentation for the Python
36
objects defined by the project is divided into separate pages for each
37
package, module, and class. The API documentation also includes two
38
pages containing information about the project as a whole: a trees
39
page, and an index page. </p>
41
<h2> Object Documentation </h2>
43
<p>Each <b>Package Documentation</b> page contains:
45

<h2> Project Documentation </h2>
88
<p> The <b>Trees</b> page contains the module and class hierarchies:
90
<li> The <i>module hierarchy</i> lists every package and module, with
91
modules grouped into packages. At the top level, and within each
92
package, modules and sub-packages are listed alphabetically. </li>
93
<li> The <i>class hierarchy</i> lists every class, grouped by base
94
class. If a class has more than one base class, then it will be
95
listed under each base class. At the top level, and under each base
96
class, classes are listed alphabetically. </li>
99
<p> The <b>Index</b> page contains indices of terms and
102
<li> The <i>term index</i> lists every term indexed by any object's
103
documentation. For each term, the index provides links to each
104
place where the term is indexed. </li>
105
<li> The <i>identifier index</i> lists the (short) name of every package,
106
module, class, method, function, variable, and parameter. For each
107
identifier, the index provides a short description, and a link to
108
its documentation. </li>
111
<h2> The Table of Contents </h2>
113
<p> The table of contents occupies the two frames on the left side of
114
the window. The upper-left frame displays the <i>project
115
contents</i>, and the lower-left frame displays the <i>module
119
<table class="summary" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">

API<br>Documentation<br>Frame<br><br><br>
129
<font size="-1">Module<br>Contents<hr> <br>...<br> </font>
135
<p> The <b>project contents frame</b> contains a list of all packages
136
and modules that are defined by the project. Clicking on an entry
137
will display its contents in the module contents frame. Clicking on a
138
special entry, labeled "Everything," will display the contents of
139
the entire project. </p>
141
<p> The <b>module contents frame</b> contains a list of every
142
submodule, class, type, exception, function, and variable defined by a
143
module or package. Clicking on an entry will display its
144
documentation in the API documentation frame. Clicking on the name of
145
the module, at the top of the frame, will display the documentation
146
for the module itself. </p>
148
<p> The "<b>frames</b>" and "<b>no frames</b>" buttons below the top
149
navigation bar can be used to control whether the table of contents is
150
displayed or not. </p>
152
<h2> The Navigation Bar </h2>
154
<p> A navigation bar is located at the top and bottom of every page.
155
It indicates what type of page you are currently viewing, and allows
156
you to go to related pages. The following table describes the labels
157
on the navigation bar. Note that not some labels (such as
158
[Parent]) are not displayed on all pages. </p>

191
<p> The "<b>show private</b>" and "<b>hide private</b>" buttons below
192
the top navigation bar can be used to control whether documentation
193
for private objects is displayed. Private objects are usually defined
194
as objects whose (short) names begin with a single underscore, but do
195
not end with an underscore. For example, "<code>_x</code>",
196
"<code>__pprint</code>", and "<code>epydoc.epytext._tokenize</code>"
197
are private objects; but "<code>re.sub</code>",
198
"<code>__init__</code>", and "<code>type_</code>" are not. However,
199
if a module defines the "<code>__all__</code>" variable, then its
200
contents are used to decide which objects are private. </p>
202
<p> A timestamp below the bottom navigation bar indicates when each
203
page was last updated. </p>
