Andrew M. Kuchling 555ac45b20 Document PyErr_WarnEx. (Bad Neal! No biscuit!)
Is the explanation of the 'stacklevel' parameter clear?  Please feel free
to edit it.

I don't have LaTeX installed on this machine, so haven't verified that the
markup is correct.  Will check tonight, or maybe the automatic doc build will
tell me.

Fred Drake 45540b0922 SF bug #1193966: Weakref types documentation misplaced
The information about supporting weakrefs with types defined in C extensions
is moved to the Extending & Embedding manual.  Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS is
no longer mentioned since it is part of Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.

Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

Fred Drake fbdeaad069 expunge the xmlcore changes:
41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

Andrew M. Kuchling e49741d412 [Bug #1528258] Mention that the 'data' argument can be None.
The constructor docs referred the reader to the add_data() method's docs,
but they weren't very helpful.  I've simply copied an earlier explanation
of 'data' that's more useful.

Phillip J. Eby f7575d0cb7 Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance
with PEP 302.  This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.

Tim Peters 750c4420a8 Live with that "the hardware address" is an ill-defined
concept, and that different ways of trying to find "the
hardware address" may return different results.  Certainly
true on both of my Windows boxes, and in different ways
(see whining on python-dev).
