Barcla <danielb@digitalfocus.com>.
Also added example of what happens when a parameter is set both
positionally and by a keyword (one of Daniels suggestions related to
that paragraph).

Explain comments at the start of chapter 3. This is needed since they

appear in the examples without any further explanation, and the
tutorial doesn't have this information explicit anywhere else.

The last two example functions in the section about default argument

Some markup nits.

Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
...
with examples and workaround. This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion. While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.

Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
...
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
...
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.

Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation.
...
Use \file{} for file names.
Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.
Made the example startup banner current. The version number should be
bumped before the next release.

Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
...
since that's now the recommended way to do it.
In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\"). Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
