Regarding http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html

- in the first argparse example the comment says "one of four allowed
  values", but the choices list has only three items so I wonder if this
  is correct?

- in the coverage of PEP 3333 code points are written as u0000 and u00FF
  which is non-standard; one standard way to write them is U+0000 and
  U+00FF

I love the clickable table of built-in functions in functions.html.

On debian testing 64-bit make test resulted in:
...
[349/349] test_zlib
328 tests OK.
21 tests skipped:
    test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp
    test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_gdb
    test_kqueue test_ossaudiodev test_smtpnet test_socketserver
    test_startfile test_timeout test_tk test_ttk_guionly
    test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound
    test_xmlrpc_net test_zipfile64
Those skips are all expected on linux2.
sys:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='/dev/null' mode='a' encoding='UTF-8'>

which looks pretty good:-)

However, I hit a problem with relative imports not working (compared
with 3.1). I have to go now but will try to produce a small example if I
can.
