Merged the following py-cvs revs without conflict:
1.29 Reduce copyright text output at startup
1.30 Delay setting sys.args until Tkinter is fully initialized
1.31 Whitespace normalization
1.32 Turn syntax warning into error when interactive
1.33 Fix warning initialization bug

Note that module is extensively modified wrt py-cvs

Allow [] after a parameter name. We currently take this to be the same as * in front, which isn't 100% correct but good enough.

Fixed the mis-guessed parameters and added support for a few optional parameter types. There's a good chance that this is usable now (but there's no test code yet).

First stab at an interface to the Multi Language Text Editor. It compiles and imports, but that's about all. Apple didn't put const in front of their input-only by-reference args, so that needs fixing first.

Fix autoindent bug and deflect Unicode from text.get()

Thanks Shane for pointing this out!

"Make the test program work outside IDLE."  -- GvR

test.

simplified and generalized to rectangular boards.

VP IDLE version depended on VP's ExecBinding.py and spawn.py to get the
path to the Windows Doc directory (relative to python.exe). Removed this
conflicting code in favor of py-cvs updates which on Windows use a hard
coded path relative to the location of this module. py-cvs updates include
support for webbrowser.py.  Module still has BrowserControl.py for 1.5.2
support.

At this point, the differences wrt py-cvs relate to menu functionality.

particular, str(long) and repr(long) use base 10, and that gets a factor
of 4 speedup).  Another factor of 2 can be gotten by refactoring divrem1 to
support in-place division, but that started getting messy so I'm leaving
that out.

Colorize "as" after "import" / use DEBUG instead of __debug__

Note: browser.py was renamed BrowserControl.py 10 May 2000. It provides a
collection of classes and convenience functions to control external
browsers "for 1.5.2 support". It was removed from py-cvs 18 April 2001.
