Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
...
with examples and workaround. This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion. While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.

Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.
...
The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation

now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the

than in each document file.
