8c071d4388 Massively improved documentation for string formatting operations, 
primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!).

This closes SF patch #103412.

e360d9507a The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needs 
examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated.  Here they are.

29052482d1 Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I used 
in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6.

Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.

d52269bfd0 Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization 
got broken).  Also added new method .jumpahead(N).  This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).

d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the 
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

8ee1a4bdeb Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf() 
function, based on an eyeballing of the code.

902446a28d Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of module 
intro docs.
*************** Fred:  check my LaTeX!  Also, the docs for whrandom should
*************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.

9368a12011 Fix an obvious usage nit I should have caught myself on the previous 
change to this file.  Thanks, /F!

fa004ad36c Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings. 
Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.

b1b6a11b28 AttributeList --> NamedNodeMap 
Since there is no such thing as an AttributeList, don't say "attributes"
is one.

f7f185116a Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's 
complaints.  The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links.  Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented.  The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

dc40ac0fe0 Added link to the "Python Codecs" project at SourceForge. 
Changed markup of the list of values for the list of meaningful "errors"
values.

0f564eaceb Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDF 
hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the
link start while still in vertical mode, which is not allowed.  Including
text before the link forces horizontal mode.

fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime, 
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.

ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str() 
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

773d9f09be Document function attributes for both the function type and the method 
type.  The method documentation also includes a new brief discussion
of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is
a TypeError.  Includes Skip's suggested text.
