Guido van Rossum 4b8c6eaf8b Actually, the previous batch's comment should have been different;
*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:

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.

Guido van Rossum 80c33e562d Contribution from Gerrit Holl:
This patch changes the string-based exceptions to class-based
exceptions, so that you can fetch the unknown option as an
attribute.  As far as I know, it is backward compatible.

[The new exception class is called GetoptError; the name error is an
alias for compatibility.]

Guido van Rossum 6d06094c77 Accept a non-list sequence for the long options (request by Jack Jansen).
Because it might be a common mistake to pass a single string, this
situation is treated separately.

Since we were making a copy of the longopts list anyway, we now use
the list() function -- this made it necessary to change all uses of
the local variable (and argument) 'list' to something more meaningful,
i.e., 'opts'.

Also added docstrings (copied from the library manual) and removed the
(now redundant) module comments.
