New submission from Vito De Tullio <vito.detul...@gmail.com>: from http://docs.python.org/download.html and http://docs.python.org/3.0/download.html you can download the python documentation in many formats (html, pdf, txt), I think auto-generated by the .rst source.
While html and txt does not, the pdf format, supports some simple "meta-data" infos about the document: other than the number of pages, the page size, the creator, etc... (all auto-filled) there are 4 "keys" that the current pdf miss to fill and I think it's important: Title, Subject, Keywords, and Author. try, for example, to use the simple pdfinfo tool (from http://poppler.freedesktop.org/) to inspect the current pdf $ tar xvjf python-3.0.1-docs-pdf-a4.tar.bz2 $ cd docs-pdf $ ls -1 c-api.pdf distutils.pdf documenting.pdf extending.pdf howto-advocacy.pdf howto-cporting.pdf howto-curses.pdf howto-doanddont.pdf howto-functional.pdf howto-regex.pdf howto-sockets.pdf howto-unicode.pdf howto-urllib2.pdf howto-webservers.pdf install.pdf library.pdf reference.pdf tutorial.pdf using.pdf whatsnew.pdf $ pdfinfo library.pdf Title: Subject: Keywords: Author: Creator: LaTeX with hyperref package Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.9 CreationDate: Sat Feb 14 11:33:09 2009 ModDate: Sat Feb 14 11:33:09 2009 Tagged: no Pages: 1077 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) File size: 7556857 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 erh, what is supposed to contain "using.pdf"? and "distutils.pdf"? (Yes, I know what they contain, but...) If the pdf were "tagged", not only me, but also my OS will know what's in these pdf (see nepomuk/strigi/tracker/beagle programs, helping me find what I'm searching ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 86931 nosy: ZeD, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: missing meta-info in documentation pdf type: resource usage versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
