31b761e326 Spelling: internalization --> internationalization 
Fixed displays of the interactive prompt in running text.
These close SourceForge bug #115658.

Also:

Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability
to unpack any sequence type.  Explained that it is possible to create
tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary
section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.

Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.

Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant.
Removed commented-out paragraph about __private names being experimental.

Adjusted markup for consistency in some places.

be870dd96f Added a section describing the new development process. Part of it 
comes from two comp.lang.tcl postings of mine, with much rewriting
   and expansion of the material.

38178fd951 use_sans_serif(), 
use_italics():  Remove both functions, inlining use_italics() at its
                only call site.

init_myformat():  Uncomment line so that some internal markup does not
                  get generated, since it is not properly removed later.
                  (Fix on aspect of SourceForge bug #114749.)

Modified call to process_commands_wrap_deferred(), removing \code from
the list since it had a bad interaction with other changes in some contexts.

544de1effb - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the 
collector will be saved in gc.garbage.  This is useful for debugging a
  program that creates reference cycles.

- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.

343ad7a572 Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial. 
<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.

Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the
change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6).

Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.

f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>: 
Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.

3578b77312 Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects: 
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

df84facf0d .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex 
once if all the temporary files are available from building
               a DVI file.  This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.
