5d6e402e0c Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).

This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard
input."

b9ad228798 Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.
