The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee.
...
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.

Make gauss() semi-thread-safe. It can still give duplicate results,
...
but it can no longer raise an exception when called by several threads
simultaneously.

Correction to vonmisesvariate() by Magnus Kessler: it should take and

literature.

Fixed a bug in the gauss() function. The bug was reported by Mike
...
Miller, who complained that its kurtosis was bad, and then fixed by
Lambert Meertens (author of the original algorithm) who discovered
that the mathematical analysis leading to his solution was wrong, and
provided a corrected version. Mike then tested the fix and reported
that the kurtosis was now good.
