  Thanks for pointing this out; I've made the appropriate corrections
and additions to the Library Reference.  The updates will be part of
the manuals for Python 2.1.1 and 2.2.
  And please don't hesitate to CC: additional suggestions to be me at
python-docs at python.org, or submit them via the Python bug tracker at
SourceForge:
