c3b18d7ca8 Fix error noted by Gerrit Holl (old; had been buried in my INBOX):
sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.

2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original

f89259786a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:
Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.

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
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
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.

f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.

found via the underlying class.

From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>

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,
