"alternate" rules for PDF generation doesn't ensure the PS files get generated since distiller isn't used. Switch to the "alternate" rules for PDF generation; this is starting to make more sense than the distiller-based rule, and requires only free software. I'm also confident it's working well (meaning I paged through all four pdflatex-generated PDF files).

messy, but the thing seems to be working without bombing completely today. Formatting lib.texi with TeX doesn't seem to do too badly, either! Info formatting isn't quite there; that might just have to disappear this time.

Code elsewhere in this file tests for the inclusion of the package and does not need to be uncommented. Comments explain what they do and how to disable them. Added support for the optional "fancyhdr" package. If used, page footers include chapter information on the left and section information on the right. Both optional packages, "fancyhdr" and "times", are enabled by default. We may want to disable them before shipping, but I'm not completely convinced. (How many installations format their own documentation?)

First, the RNG in whrandom.py sucks if you let it seed itself from the time. The problem is the line: t = int((t&0xffffff) | (t>>24)) Since it ORs the two parts together, the resulting value has mostly ON bits. Change | to ^, and you don't lose any randomness.

Use \emph{} when referring to title of any of the Python manuals, like is done in the other manuals. In some places, use \emph{} or \dfn{} instead of ``...''. Use \samp{} instead of \code{} when marking identifier prefixes. Use logical markup wherever it made sense. Fixed a bunch of typos. In several places, use "---" instead of "--" to get the emdash. Start sentences with capital letters and end them with periods, as needed. "it's" --> "its" in many places: "it's" it *always* a contraction of "it is", and "its" should always be used for the possessive. "don't" --> "doesn't" "should discards any" --> "should discard any" In C function descriptions, use \var{} to mark parameters in the running text instead of \code{}. This matches usage in the other manauls better, and is more consistent with the formatting of the function signatures. Lots of little changes to implement this. Lots of fixups needed due to appearant heavy cut-&-paste in the orignal document. Mention that the exception objects may be either classes or strings, depending on the use of -X; they were unequivocally stated to be strings in the section "Standard Exceptions". "mkvalue()" --> "Py_BuildValue()" Description of PyNumber_Power() indicates that the third value is option, but not how to indicate that it was omitted. Clarified. Explain the behavior of PyString_FromStringAndSize() if the buffer is NULL. Explain the Py_complex structure a little (tell what it's used for) and use a {verbatim} environment for the structure definition itself. Fix explanation of PyFile_SoftSpace(). Update the example version string to 1.5. Combined the sections on defining new object types.
