comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
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.
Also finally get rid of some obsolete commented-out access statements.
A note about the previous checkin: I believe it's correct, but I found
something strange: the file Lib/test/audiotest.au in the Python
distribution was evidently encoded in u-LAW format but had its
encoding set to 2, i.e. linear-8. I hope that this is a mistake
caused by some conversion program that produced this .au file; I just
found it on a website.
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.
