Thomas Wouters 47adcbafc0 Fix for SF bug #123625: some newsservers need 'authinfo' *before* 'mode
readers', others *after*. (Netscape Collabra for the first category,
INN-which-forks-nnrpd for the second.)

Fred Drake 8152d32375 Update the code to better reflect recommended style:
Use != instead of <> since <> is documented as "obsolescent".
Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.

Thomas Wouters 7e47402264 Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
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 ;)

Guido van Rossum 93a7c0fe6b Fredrik Lundh:
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...

Barry Warsaw 9dd7872945 Added new exception classes:
NNTPError - derived from Exception, it's the base class for all
    other exceptions in this module

    NNTPReplyError - what used to be error_reply

    NNTPTemporaryError - what used to be error_temp

    NNTPPermanentError - what used to be error_perm

    NNTPProtocolError - what used to be error_proto

    NNTPDataError - what used to be error_data

All the old names are retained for backwards compatibility; they point
to the class that replaces them.  Also, any code in this module that
raises an exception, now does so with the exception class.

NNTP.__init__(): Added a new optional argument `readermode', which is
a flag that defaults to false.  When set to true, the "mode reader"
command is sent to the NNTP server before user authentication.  Reader
mode is sometimes necessary if you are connecting to an NNTP server on
the local machine and intend to call reader-specific comamnds, such as
`group'.  If you get unexpected NNTPPermanentErrors, you might need to
set readermode.  Patch provided by Thomas Wouters (who include the
standard disclaimer on is patches@python.org submission), and inspired
by Jim Tittsler.

Guido van Rossum 54f22ed30b More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,
who writes:

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.

I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.

The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings.  Hope this is
okay.

Guido van Rossum 98c17b3aee Marc-Andre Lemburg notes about statparse():
"""
The message ID is returned lowercased and there is no way to access
the original ID the server sent. Now at least some news servers
are very picky about the case of the ID and return errors when
fetching articles with mixed case given a lowercased version
of the ID.

The solution is simple: remove the string.lower() call.
"""

(I might add that the lowercasing was probably introduced as a result
of sloppy copy-and-paste coding; there's a string.lower in a similar
piece of code a bit higher in the source, that makes more sense --
it's lowercasing the group name.)

Guido van Rossum 7bc817d5ba * Mass change: get rid of all init() methods, in favor of __init__()
constructors.  There is no backward compatibility.  Not everything has
  been tested.

  comments)

* Changed string.join() to call string.joinfields() to profit of
  strop.joinfields()
