Fred Drake 25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.

conversion tools currently being constructed.

users.

Fred Drake 6659c30b67 Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).

This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
