	function(args) -- function of module xxxx

	These comments are no longer generated:

	function(args)
	    Description....

Fred Drake a39a25e5ec (texi2html.py): Use "if __name__ == '__main__':" test. Adjust indentation
to 4 spaces per level (no longer 8).

(Makefile):  Use .pyc versions of partparse.py and texi2html.py to generate
	converted documentation formats.  This reduces the startup costs;
	probably doesn't affect anyone but me in reality, but helps when
	working on the docs.
