1. Comments at the beginning of the module, before
functions, and before classes have been turned
into docstrings.
2. Tabs are normalized to four spaces.
Also, removed the "remove" function from dircmp.py, which reimplements
list.remove() (it must have been very old).
"""
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.

module. (Small problem: struct.pack() won't deal with the Python long
ints returned by struct.unpack() for the 'L' format. Worked around
that for now.)
constructors. There is no backward compatibility. Not everything has
been tested.
* aiff.{py,doc}: deleted in favor of aifc.py (which contains its docs as
comments)
use audioop module as backup for cl module when reading or
writing u-law compressed files.
sunau.py: interface with the same methods as aifc for Sun and NeXT
audio files
* calendar.py: remove stuff now built in time; some cleanup and
generalization in the calendar printing
* cmd.py: use __init__.
* tzparse.py: This module is no longer necessary -- use builtin time instead!
* sndhdr.py: renamed to whatsound.py; use new aifc module for AIFF/AIFC
* ftplib.py: added close() (closes without sending QUIT command)
* aifc.py: documented close()
* Several modules: change "class C(): ..." to "class C: ...".
* flp.py: support for frozen forms.
* Added string.find() which is like index but returns -1 if not found
