Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible
...
internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).

Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
...
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
methods. Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.
- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization
...
got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).

Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
...
functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs.
FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically.
GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's
...
complaints. The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links. Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented. The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the
