omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

a7874d1505
Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00

315b5d8a7f
In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
...
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap. This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
1947991c2f
Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
