&do_cmd_email: Adjust to use a font similar to that used in the printed
representation.
&my_module_index_helper: Change to be only used for defining markup. Don't
prepend an <A NAME=...> to the result; use the containing page as
the module target for the index.
&ref_module_index_helper: New function. Used only for references to modules
described elsewhere. Generate the right target.
&init_myformat: Set the anchor_mark to an empty string; this avoids junky
" "'s in the text, which could really screw up vertical spacing
when that's all that's in a paragraph.
&do_cmd_seemodule: Insert markup to jump right to the referred-to module.

Added libsymbol.tex, libtoken.tex to dependencies for the libref.
New targets: ???-all, for each document. This creates all formats of the
named document (DVI, HTML, PDF, PS).
l2hlib: Added commands to translate node*.html to use the \label{} stuff,
as supported by Jeremy's node2html.pl. This gives us mostly
bookmarkable nodes.

(1) Change normpath() to *not* also call normcase().
(2) Fix normcase() to use string.lower() and string.replace() -- it
turns out that the table constructed for translate() didn't work in
locales that have a different number of lowercase and uppercase
letters.

Several optimizations:
self.__chips now contains the list of rgbtuple values for the
chips named i - 1 (Tkinter counts from 1, we count from zero).
The chip number was just the index + 1. This means color lookup
need not do an itemcget(), it can just index into __chips.
instead of calling __canvas.itemconfigure(), we glom up a huge Tcl
script and call tk.eval() directly. Actually we do many appends
to a Python list, then string.join() them together into one huge
string. This reduces the overhead of Tkinter but making one fast
call to Tcl.

Cache conversions from triplets to rrggbb's and vice versa. Wasteful

main(): Include a \label{modindex} in the output so latex won't let us re-use
the name elsewhere. This is useful for the logical filenames project,

Added all-formats target: use this to get both PDF and PS files; using the
"alternate" rules for PDF generation doesn't ensure the PS files get
generated since distiller isn't used.
Switch to the "alternate" rules for PDF generation; this is starting to make
more sense than the distiller-based rule, and requires only free software.
I'm also confident it's working well (meaning I paged through all four
pdflatex-generated PDF files).

Massive changes. Fewer warnings from the Python Library Reference. Still
messy, but the thing seems to be working without bombing completely today.
Formatting lib.texi with TeX doesn't seem to do too badly, either!
Info formatting isn't quite there; that might just have to disappear this
time.

Move optional package inclusions to the top, to make them easier to find.
Code elsewhere in this file tests for the inclusion of the package and does
not need to be uncommented. Comments explain what they do and how to
disable them.
Added support for the optional "fancyhdr" package. If used, page footers
include chapter information on the left and section information on the right.
Both optional packages, "fancyhdr" and "times", are enabled by default. We
may want to disable them before shipping, but I'm not completely convinced.
(How many installations format their own documentation?)

First, the RNG in whrandom.py sucks if you let it seed itself from the time.
The problem is the line:
t = int((t&0xffffff) | (t>>24))
Since it ORs the two parts together, the resulting value has mostly
ON bits. Change | to ^, and you don't lose any randomness.

Lots of nitty-gritty stuff:
Use \emph{} when referring to title of any of the Python manuals, like is
done in the other manuals.
In some places, use \emph{} or \dfn{} instead of ``...''.
Use \samp{} instead of \code{} when marking identifier prefixes.
Use logical markup wherever it made sense.
Fixed a bunch of typos.
In several places, use "---" instead of "--" to get the emdash.
Start sentences with capital letters and end them with periods, as needed.
"it's" --> "its" in many places: "it's" it *always* a contraction of "it is",
and "its" should always be used for the possessive.
"don't" --> "doesn't"
"should discards any" --> "should discard any"
In C function descriptions, use \var{} to mark parameters in the running
text instead of \code{}. This matches usage in the other manauls better,
and is more consistent with the formatting of the function signatures.
Lots of little changes to implement this.
Lots of fixups needed due to appearant heavy cut-&-paste in the orignal
document.
Mention that the exception objects may be either classes or strings,
depending on the use of -X; they were unequivocally stated to be strings
in the section "Standard Exceptions".
"mkvalue()" --> "Py_BuildValue()"
Description of PyNumber_Power() indicates that the third value is option,
but not how to indicate that it was omitted. Clarified.
Explain the behavior of PyString_FromStringAndSize() if the buffer is NULL.
Explain the Py_complex structure a little (tell what it's used for) and use
a {verbatim} environment for the structure definition itself.
Fix explanation of PyFile_SoftSpace().
Update the example version string to 1.5.
Combined the sections on defining new object types.

Add case checking feature on import.
This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems. It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS. To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h. It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported. On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).
When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
