Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Guido van Rossum 4ed6be7107 Import the keyword module instead of relying on our own list of
reserved words.  No longer need to import string.
2001-12-04 20:39:36 +00:00

Fred Drake bb7775a6ae Fix SF bug #479967: Appearantly I broke something that made the index
insertion work.  This fix makes things at least somewhat more explicit, and
adds a little sanity checking (and verbosity!) to
