c7cb69263d For ratecv, document that None should be the initial state argument (when 
I was squashing spurious overflows in the implementation, I got hung up
on this point).

reserved words.  No longer need to import string.

41c6719fe4 Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebody 
didn't use reswords.py, as the comment clearly states. :-(

ecd8157a2c Include a warning that scripts should not have the same name as standard 
modules, or the module cannot be properly imported.  (Based on a suggestion
sent to python-docs.)

Update the displayed dir() of the sys and __builtin__ module with Python 2.2.

bb7775a6ae Fix SF bug #479967: Appearantly I broke something that made the index 
insertion work.  This fix makes things at least somewhat more explicit, and
adds a little sanity checking (and verbosity!) to
add_bbl_and_idx_dummy_commands().

b38784e4a0 Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to comments 
from Skip Montanaro.  There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but
that is low priority.

14f5c5fa01 Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; this 
can vary by platform and installation.

1722e4a952 Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not 
mutable!  We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805.

Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap().  Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index.  The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible.  This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.

3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair 
of references that now state that these attributes have been removed,
directing the reader to the dir() function.

Fred Drake
5ed35fd149 Add a new environment in the Python docs markup: seealso*. This is similar 
to seealso, but does not add the "See also:" header or put the content in a
box in the HTML version.

Updated the description of \seeurl to better indicate when it should be used;
the old description was written before we had \seetitle.
