Brett Cannon 289e4cba1c Changed applicable use of ``char *`` declarations that are passed into
PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in
section 1.3 and to support better coding habits.

Section 1.8 ("Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions") and it's coding
example were not touched since it is stems from an accredited source and thus
did not want to step on anyone's toes.

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Fred Drake ef6373a4f6 Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, and

Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

Fred Drake 396ca574dd Document the rule that Python.h must be included before any standard
