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.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85.  In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.

Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.

Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).

Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk.  Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.

Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.

Fred Drake f9607821ad open(): Make the mode parameter optional; if omitted or None, use the
mode attribute of the file object (if it has one), otherwise
	 use 'rb'.

	 The documentation should still show this as required until
	 there's a new release.

Guido van Rossum d42e46ead5 Ehm, when we don't need to byteswap the data, don't go through an
array object at all.

Guido van Rossum ebb9c922cb Two important fixes:
(1) on a little-endian platform, don't byteswap;

(2) in _patchheader(), there was a missing self._file argument to a
_write_long() call.

Guido van Rossum bb189dbcb0 Small corrections to comments that were cloned from aifc; moreover
the description of setparams() was wrong.

wave.py: Include the tag of an unknown format in the exception.

Fred Drake ac36c6403f Open wave files in binary mode.
Accept 'rb' and 'wb' as well as 'r' and 'w' as the mode parameter to open().

Guido van Rossum 3ed23cc158 aifc, sunau: make rate an int; os: restruct; ospath: obsolete; rfc822:
date and addr parsing; string: force result of atof to float and
support atoi, atol, atof in strop; tzparcs: don't call test().
