8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions 
as the callable, so use more flexible language.

9079164bdf Removed unnecessary section "Unicode literals"; all the discussion is 
already present in the "String literals" section, including comments on
the "u" prefix and the additional escape sequences used for Unicode.

This relates to SF bug #442526.

0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict". 
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it 
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.

5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import 
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

1d75a79c00 Apply SF patch #101029: call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there

section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.

Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.

now everything is unbundled and we're distributing PS and PDF tarballs?)
