Subject: When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()
X-Git-Tag: v2.2.1c1~1147
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aad8bb5d7ab0b963f97185f378f2d4e5ccfbe41a;p=python

When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()
parameters, given a hyperlink to the right part of the documentation to
make it easier to look those up.  Also, refer to the file() function/
constructor instead of open() now that that is where the actual docs for
those parameters live.
This closes SF bug #472004.
