recent changes to ntpath.py and posixmodule.c.  Thanks to Guido for
pointing out the inconsistency!

Similar to an old bug in ntpath.py.

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

The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules

was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a

I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for

stuff about module usage into module docstrings.  Hope this is
okay.

Don't call normcase() in normpath() -- the filesystem just might be
case preserving...

(Why isn't this file identical to ntpath.py?)

ftplib: get rid of non-auto port assignment

date and addr parsing; string: force result of atof to float and

* 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.

posixpath.py: added undocumented expanndvars() (expands $VAR in string).
