[Zope3-checkins] CVS: Zope/lib/python/ZConfig/doc - zconfig.tex:1.66

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

Update of /cvs-repository/Zope/lib/python/ZConfig/doc
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv2023/doc

Modified Files:
	zconfig.tex 
Log Message:
Remove the "constructor" and "key-value" datatypes; these are no longer used
and are of questionable value.  "constructor" is also generally unsafe;
applications that need it can provide their own version of this if necessary.

-\term{\datatype{constructor}}
-  Parse value in the form \samp{fn('1', '2', kw1='a', kw2='b')} into a
-  3-tuple where the first element is the string \code{'fn'}, the 2nd
-  element is the list \code{['1', '2']}, and the 3rd element is the
-  dictionary \code{\{'kw1': 'a', 'kw2': 'b'\}}.  This is useful when
