Summary: Misuse of "it's"  

Initial Comment:
In section 2.3.2 of the Python online reference manual
(http://docs.python.org/ref/id-classes.html)

the text

These names are defined by the interpreter and it's
implementation 

should read

These names are defined by the interpreter and its
implementation.

General rule:  if you can't replace "it's"  by "it is"
and preserve meaning, then "it's" is wrong.

This is so trivial I hesitate to submit it.  On the
other hand, it's a shame that such generally excellent
documentation should be marred by this kind of thing.
