049e7aaa0f Point out that the setdefault defaults the value to None. Inspired by
Michael Chermside's thinking about patch #748126 (the chief upshot of
which thinking was "reject it!").

cbbee6fed5 [Bug #984952] Include more material from PEP 307.
I haven't tried to include all the material on old-style classes using protocols 0,1.  The details are lengthy; someone who knows
more about the pickle module should decide if they're important enough
to be in the docs or not.

e9ddfbb412 SF #989185: Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
unicodedata.east_asian_width().  You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
    def width(u):
        w = 0
        for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
            cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
            if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
            else: w += 1
        return w

d6ef19309d SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliability
Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better
to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv()
docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).

66bb6e661c SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians
Major rewrite of the math module docs.  Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

7bd33c5e22 This change implements the following gettext features, as
discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

Every change was also documented.

the first part works now.

2bb146f2f4 Bring CJKCodecs 1.1 into trunk. This completely reorganizes source
and installed layouts to make maintenance simple and easy.  And it
also adds four new codecs; big5hkscs, euc-jis-2004, shift-jis-2004
and iso2022-jp-2004.

de8332171a SF bug 990749: os constants missing
A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed
are available on Windows but aren't.  The bug report listed the same 6.
Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly
correct "Availability:" claim.

8cec3ab0e4 - Bug #981530: Fix UnboundLocalError in shutil.rmtree(). This affects
the documented behavior: the function passed to the onerror()
  handler can now also be os.listdir.

[I could've sworn I checked this in, but apparently I didn't, or it
got lost???]
