56a71eee65 Add a version annotation for splitdrive(); old, but as long as I managed
to end up with the information, it is better recorded than lost.

c6d8f8d2ac Add descriptions of {}.iteritems(), {}.iterkeys(), and {}.itervalues()
in the table of mapping object operations.  Re-numbered the list of
notes to reflect the move of the "Added in version 2.2." note to the list
of notes instead of being inserted into the last column of the table.

6b4593e338 Update to add get() and setdefault() as supported mapping operations, and
add a list of the mapping methods which are not supported (per Barry's
comments).

1400baa5d6 Add a "See also" section with useful links. More should be added giving
pointers to information about the other mailbox formats; if anyone can
provide the information needed, please let me know!

e9719fe1a7 Fix bug in smtplib example: the prompt said to end the message with ^D,
but doing so raised EOFError.  This makes it work as advertised and
converts to string methods where reasonable.

This closes SF bug #424776.

c0dac1a58c Beef up the unicode() description a bit, based on material from AMK's

Finish the last set of changes to these files so the conversion does not
break.

96d7a70630 Replace "\begin{classdesc}{SomeClass}{\unspecified}" with
"\begin{classdesc*}{SomeClass}" -- the rendering of \unspecified was
identical to \moreargs, so this helps clarify things just a little.

e9735ac215 Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.
(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should
not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows
it.)

a7c9ac6544 There is no IMAP class in the imaplib module; the class is IMAP4.
There is no imap module; refer to imaplib instead, since it exists.
Move the "See Also:" section in front of the sub-sections, for
consistency with other portions of the library reference.

This closes the library reference portion of SF bug #420216.

descriptor).

f42cc45f1b The general iteration support is part of 2.2, not 2.1 -- fixed the version

8b3d6ca3df At the suggestion of Peter Funk, document 'key in dict' and 'key not
in dict' after has_key(), with a \versionadded{2.2} note.

Guido van Rossum
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.

1aec3a16f3 Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

bc524c4e9f Cut-&-paste-o noted by Wolfgang Teschner: decompressobj() returns
*DE*compression objects, not compression objects!

895aa9da4c Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead of
introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.

293f77af6f Add note about the version in which GetoptError was added -- this can
bite people interested in 1.5.2 compatibility.

basic authentication is needed.

Added documentation for FancyURLopener.prompt_user_passwd(), explaining
that subclasses should provide more appropriate behavior for the hosting
environment.

the pyunit-interest list.

TestLoader methods.
