1) I added a command queue which is helpful to me (at least so far) and
would also allow syntax like 's;s' (step; step) in conjunction with precmd
2) doc_leader allows the derived class to print a message before the help
output. Defaults to current practise of a blank line
3) nohelp allows one to override the 'No help on' message. I need
'Undefined command: "%s". Try "help".'
4) Pass line to self.precmd to allow one to do some parsing: change first
word to lower case, strip out a leading number, whatever.
5) Pass the result of onecmd and the input line to postcmd. This allows
one to ponder the stop result before it is effective.
6) emptyline() requires a if self.lastcmd: conditional because if the
first command is null (<cr>), you get an infinite recursion with the
code as it stands.
constructors. There is no backward compatibility. Not everything has
been tested.
* aiff.{py,doc}: deleted in favor of aifc.py (which contains its docs as
comments)
* calendar.py: remove stuff now built in time; some cleanup and
generalization in the calendar printing
* cmd.py: use __init__.
* tzparse.py: This module is no longer necessary -- use builtin time instead!
* 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.
