82f355a36a Change the example of configuring for large file support under Solaris
to use `getconf LFS_CFLAGS`.  Steve Clift (the author of the section
and large file support) agrees that this is the right thing to do.

d275de985a Remove obsolete lines like this:
\setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)}

These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section.  The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and
\stmodindex.

cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.

86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.

1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
