I ran "expand" instead of using Skip's patch, but it's all the same.

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.

                    parameter match.  Error pointed out by François
                    Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> on c.l.py.

Also rename safe_env to _safe_env.

and a little editing my me).

__builtins__ for all calls to eval().  This still allows someone to
write string.atof("[1]*1000000") (which Jim Fulton worries about) but
effectively disables access to system modules and functions.

have been configured, string.atof() should not fail when "import re"
fails (usually because pcre is not there).

This opens up a tiny security hole: *if* an attacker can make "import
re" fail, they can also make string.atof(arbitrary_string) evaluate
the arbitrary string.  Nothing to keep me awake at night...

In string.splitfields(), ignore maxsplit if <= 0, rather than ignoring
maxsplit=0 but effectively treating negative numbers the same as
maxsplit=1.  Also made the test for maxsplit slightly more efficient
(set it to the length of the string when <= 0 so the test for its
presence can be omitted from the loop).

Also change all occurrences of "x == None" to "x is None" (not that it
matters much, these functions are all reimplemented in strop -- but
count() is not).

It's now replace(str, old, new, maxsplit=0).
Note new ordering of parameters (string first);
this is more consistent with translate().

maximum number of delimiters to parse; e.g.
splitfields("a,b,c,d", ",", 2) -> ["a", "b", "c,d"].

Added maketrans(), a utility to create a translation table.

	index/rindex is a wrapper that raises index_error (which is now
	always ValueError)

  negative start indices starting from the right.
* ftplib.py: debug() -> set_debuglevel(); change demo to use __init__().
* os.py: added execl, execlp, and execvp.
* lambda.py: removed (now that we have built-in map, reduce, bagof, lambda)
* test_b{1,2}.py, testall.out: added tests for bagof, lambda, map, reduce
* commands.py: use os, not posix
* test_grammar.py: make it easy to disable non-portable int overflow tests
* dis.py: don't abuse range()

* builtin.py: b/w compat for builtin -> __builtin__ name change
* string.py: added atof() and atol() and corresponding exceptions
* test_types.py: added test for list sort with  user comparison function

* string.py: change whitespace to include \r, \v and \f.
  When importing strop succeeds, re-evaluate meaning of letters.

* Several modules: change "class C(): ..." to "class C: ...".
* flp.py: support for frozen forms.
* Added string.find() which is like index but returns -1 if not found

* Added whatis command to pdb.py
* new module GET.py (GL definitions from <gl/get.h>)
* rect.py: is_empty takes a rect as argument, not two points.
* Added tests for builtin round() [XXX not yet complete!]

  embryonic facility for pseudo-modal dialogs.
* stdwinevents.py: added modifier masks for key/mouse events
* renamed exceptions in nntplib.py
* Changed string.join() to call string.joinfields() to profit of
  strop.joinfields()

* changed eval() into getattr() in cmd.py
* added dirname(), basename() and (dummy) normath() to macpath.py
* renamed nntp.py to nntplib.py
* Made string.index() compatible with strop.index()
* Make string.atoi('') raise string.atoi_error rather than ValueError
* Added dirname() and normpath() to posixpath.

is moved to the sgi subdirectory.

string.splitfields(s, '') now returns [s] as split() in nawk.
Added _exit to exported functions of os.

added gettext() method to TextEdit.py;
fixed string.atoi() to ignore leading zeros.
