select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,

using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all

work on Windows. Also clarified list of acceptable
objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

list-like environment to contain them.

Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope

SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)
I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an

does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

417c489def
Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
...
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
...
internal hyperlinking. Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).

Wrapped some long lines.

Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an

Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.

This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature. Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.
[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
