relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for
instance)

test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)

This fixes a bunch of socket.connect(host, post) calls.  Note that I
haven't tested all modules -- I don't have enough servers here...

docstrings into comments.

*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:

The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.

A new docstring was added to formatter.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

I've found two places where smtplib.py sends an extra trailing space
on command lines to the SMTP server.  I don't know if this ever causes
any problems, but I'd prefer to be on the safe side.  The enclosed
patch removes the extra space.

Two problems: The SMTPRecipientsRefused class should not inherit
SMTPResponseException, since it doesn't provide the smtp_code and
smtp_error attributes.  My patch for not adding an extra CRLF was
apparently forgotten.  The enclosed patch fixes these two problems.

Per writes:

"""
The application where Signum Support uses smtplib needs to be able to
report good error messages to the user when sending email fails.  To
help in diagnosing problems it is useful to be able to report the
entire message sent by the server, not only the SMTP error code of the
offending command.

A lot of the functions in sendmail.py unfortunately discards the
message, leaving only the code.  The enclosed patch fixes that
problem.

The enclosed patch also introduces a base class for exceptions that
include an SMTP error code and error message, and make the code and
message available on separate attributes, so that surrounding code can
deal with them in whatever way it sees fit.  I've also added some
documentation to the exception classes.

The constructor will now raise an exception if it cannot connect to
the SMTP server.

The data() method will raise an SMTPDataError if it doesn't receive
the expected 354 code in the middle of the exchange.

According to section 5.2.10 of RFC 1123 a smtp client must accept "any
text, including no text at all" after the error code.  If the response
of a HELO command contains no text self.helo_resp will be set to the
empty string ("").  The patch fixes the test in the sendmail() method
so that helo_resp is tested against None; if it has the empty string
as value the sendmail() method would invoke the helo() method again.

The code no longer accepts a -1 reply from the ehlo() method in
sendmail().

and also:

"""
smtplib.py appends an extra blank line to the outgoing mail if the
`msg' argument to the sendmail method already contains a trailing
newline.  This patch should fix the problem.

"""
	Mostly I just re-added the SMTPRecipientsRefused exception
(the exeption object now has the appropriate info in it ) [Per had
removed this in his patch --GvR] and tweaked the behavior of the
sendmail method whence it throws the newly added SMTPHeloException (it
was closing the connection, which it shouldn't.  whatever catches the
exception should do that. )

	I pondered the change of the return values to tuples all around,
and after some thinking I decided that regularizing the return values was
too much of the Right Thing (tm) to not do.

	My one concern is that code expecting an integer & getting a tuple
may fail silently.

(i.e. if it's doing :

      x.somemethod() >= 400:
expecting an integer, the expression will always be true if it gets a
tuple instead. )

	However, most smtplib code I've seen only really uses the
sendmail() method, so this wouldn't bother it.  Usually code I've seen
that calls the other methods usually only calls helo() and ehlo() for
doing ESMTP, a feature which was not in the smtplib included with 1.5.1,
and thus I would think not much code uses it yet.

 - It needlessly used the makefile() method for each response that is
   read from the SMTP server.

 - If the remote SMTP server closes the connection unexpectedly the
   code raised an IndexError.  It now raises an SMTPServerDisconnected

 - The code now checks that all lines in a multiline response actually
   contains an error code.

The Dragon approves.

Take opportunity to add more explanatory messages to exceptions.

bugs in various docstrings.

instead of a list, turn it into a list containing that string.  This
avoids an apparently common newbie mistake -- passing in a single
string for the destination and have it treated as a sequence of
characters.

I did some bugfixes, and fixed a major problem with the esmtp suport (I
think the person who did that part misunderstood RFC1869) Some of the
interface fer esmtp-related things has changed as a result.

I also added some documentation to the SMTP class' docstring.

	Ok, I fixed the quotes, along with a bug or two.
	Also added another exception.
