Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.
...
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.
I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.
open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string. The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode. Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.
It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

[Bug #1528258 ] Mention that the 'data' argument can be None.
...
The constructor docs referred the reader to the add_data() method's docs,
but they weren't very helpful. I've simply copied an earlier explanation
of 'data' that's more useful.

Bug #1529871 : The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance
...
with PEP 302. This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.

Live with that "the hardware address" is an ill-defined
...
concept, and that different ways of trying to find "the
hardware address" may return different results. Certainly
true on both of my Windows boxes, and in different ways
(see whining on python-dev).

Patch #1520294 : Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,
...
inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
