Guido van Rossum	e7b146fb3b	The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee. ... 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.

Guido van Rossum	72c2e1b56e	Fixed a bug in the gauss() function. The bug was reported by Mike ... Miller, who complained that its kurtosis was bad, and then fixed by Lambert Meertens (author of the original algorithm) who discovered that the mathematical analysis leading to his solution was wrong, and provided a corrected version. Mike then tested the fix and reported that the kurtosis was now good.	1998-02-19 21:17:42 +00:00
