2e29bfbe1a Document new file() constructor, with the body of open()'s text, plus a 
"new in 2.2" blurb at the end.  Replace open()'s text by pointing back
to file().

32f453eaa4 New restriction on pow(x, y, z): If z is not None, x and y must be of 
integer types, and y must be >= 0.  See discussion at

7321ec437b SF bug #444510: int() should guarantee truncation. 
It's guaranteed now, assuming the platform modf() works correctly.

bf5a774bcb On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it 
instead of raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The
other one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch
#440487.

91f2f26d75 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

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.

17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note 
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben
Sumner <rasumner@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #121672.

1e862e8a37 Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter; 
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).

a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable 
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
