6fe1299b09 SF bug #652888: bad documentation for the "type" builtin
Clarified that not all types are included.  The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.

Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.

Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

003720235b Massive fiddling to reflect that datetimetz and timetz no longer exist.
WARNING:  It would be a minor miracle if the LaTeX stuff still worked.

s/field/member/ generally everywhere, to conform with most other usage in
the docs.

s/daylight savings time/daylight saving time/ generally everywhere,
because the latter spelling is anally correct.

75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.

dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).

f36151556f A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
