Marc-Andre Lemburg discovered that the switch from .pyc to .pyo files,
...
done by _PyImport_Init(), comes to late to affect the import of
exceptions.py by _PyBuiltin_Init_2(). Move _PyImport_Init() up few lines.

Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
...
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.

Milton L. Hankin reports that on Windows it is possible to have two
...
different values in the environ dict with the same key (although he
couldn't explain exactly how this came to be). Since getenv() uses
the first one, Python should do too. (Some doubts about case
sensitivity, but for now this at least seems the right thing to do
regardless of platform.)

Sjoerd Mullender:

In splithost, accept empty host part in URLs. This is required for

Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions

Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
...
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.
This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
