Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Barry Warsaw 773d9f09be Document function attributes for both the function type and the method
type.  The method documentation also includes a new brief discussion
of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is
a TypeError.  Includes Skip's suggested text.

Fred Drake 42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)

Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.

Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.
