146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying 
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

with Python 2.2.

b62f0e1a7b Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2. 
Should this be labeled as changed?  How?)

c7cb69263d For ratecv, document that None should be the initial state argument (when 
I was squashing spurious overflows in the implementation, I got hung up
on this point).

b38784e4a0 Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to comments 
from Skip Montanaro.  There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but
that is low priority.

python-docs.

14f5c5fa01 Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; this 
can vary by platform and installation.
Based on suggestion to python-docs.

1722e4a952 Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not 
mutable!  We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805.

Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap().  Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index.  The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible.  This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.

3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair 
of references that now state that these attributes have been removed,
directing the reader to the dir() function.

6a6bb1828b Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the file 
is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342.

Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file
descriptors.

list of modules.

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.

69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get 
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.

ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers: 
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.
