014f0e3394 Massive addition of SAX documentation from Martin von Loewis 
<loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>.

Reorganized to be more like other parts of the documentation in its

This closes SourceForge patch #101850.

66c9f0781d Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficient 
than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>).

Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means.

Fixed a few markup nits.

not added then, and note what the change was (ncurses, change to a package).

062ea2e70b Made a number of revisions suggested by Fredrik Lundh. 
Revised the first paragraph so it doesn't sound like it was written
when 7-bit strings were assumed; note that Unicode strings can be used.

d88d0a1d5b It turns out that Guido does not like or encourage the use of the term 
"disciplines" for the __*__() methods, so they should be referred to as
"methods" or "special methods", as appropriate in context.

5d63a39983 is_zipfile() description: Use the same name for the parameter as the 
code, in case someone wants to use it as a keyword paramter.

ZIP_DEFLATED description:  Do not reveal the specific value of the
      constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.

c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.

0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is 
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.

544de1effb - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the 
collector will be saved in gc.garbage.  This is useful for debugging a
  program that creates reference cycles.

- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.
