afc7ce118e Fix \seepep handling -- correct URL to the online PEP repository on SF is
now generated.  (SF bug #129692.)

Patch from Anthon van der Neut <anthon@mnt.org>:
Work around the removal of content-less paired tags used for name
anchors in some places.  (SF bug #116008.)

Move some class attributes from an artificial SPAN element to otherwise
"useful" elements that are being generated anyway.  Added the class
"versionnote", used for \deprecated, \versionadded, \versionchanged.

b216ab632f Fill out various transcripts and XXX bits, thanks to the WMATA.
The only missing section is the Nested Scopes section, which has to wait
    to see if a patch is actually committed.  (Plus any other notable changes
    that get made or backed out between now and 2.1final, of course...)

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.

42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)

e1d4715a6f Update explanation of the set_location() method to indicate that in

445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.

4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.
