recursion. Also remove "Doc" from the SUBDIRSTOO variable, since it
no longer exists in the standard distribution.

reloads the current file as a module, so as not to clutter the global
namespace. Bound to C-c C-m.
(py-execute-def-or-class): New command that sends the current def or
class to the interpreter. Bound to C-M-x.
(py-execute-string): New command that sends arbitrary string to the
interpreter. Not bound by default.
(py-describe-mode): Doco updates.

Following is a context diff for imaplib.py in the Python1.5.1 distribution.
It fixes 2 bugs. One to do with argument quoting, and the other to do with
caching of un-tagged responses. Apologies for its size.

Subject: Typos in ref manual
Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.

Subject: getargs bug in 1.2 and 1.3 BETA
We have found a bug in the part of the getargs code that we added
and submitted, and which was incorporated into 1.1.
The parsing of "O?" format specifiers is not handled correctly;
there is no "else" for the "if" and therefore it can never fail.
What's worse, the advancing of the varargs pointer is not
handled properly, so from then on it is out of sync, wreaking
all sorts of havoc. (If it had failed properly, then the out-of-sync
varargs would not have been an issue.)
Below is the context diff for the change.
Note that I have made a few stylistic changes beyond adding the
else case, namely:
1) Making the "O" case follow the convention established by the other
format specifiers of getting all their vararg arguments before
performing the test, rather than getting some before and some after
the test passes.
2) Making the logic of the tests parallel, so the "if" part indicates
that the format is accepted and the "else" part indicates that the
format has failed. They were inconsistent with each other and with the
the other format specifiers.

All final products go into the current directory (i.e., PCbuild).
Object files go into temp-release and temp-debug.
Debug versions of DLLs have _d appended to their basename, e.g. the
debug version of python15.dll is python15_d.dll, the debug version of
python.exe is python_d.exe, and the debug version of parser.pyd is
parser_d.pyd. (See corresponding patch to importdl.c.) Uniformly
changed all extension modules to use .pyd, not .dll.
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character. Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.
synonyms for macros. This supports:
\let\newname = \oldname
\let\newname\oldname
This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.
