Summary: typo in "Python Tutorial": 1. Whetting your appetite

Initial Comment:
URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node3.html 
 
In the first paragraph, it says: 
"[snip] or the feature involves a system call or other function that is 
only accessible from C ...Usually the problem [snip]" 
 
The typo: "[snip] C ...Usually [snip]" 
The space after 'C' should be removed, and one should be added 
before 'Usually', so it becomes: "[snip] C... Usually [snip]". 
 
I admit it's not a really big problem, but it's not hard to solve either, I 
guess.

Part: 3.1.3 Unicode Strings  
Sentence: "Previously, there were only 256 possible ordinals for script 
characters and texts were typically bound to a code page which mapped 
the ordinals to script characters." 
 
I'm not sure if I totally "get" this sentence, but if I do, adding a comma after 
"characters" (the first occurence of it) would make it more clear or 
readable, IMHO. 
This would lead to: 
"Previously, there were only 256 possible ordinals for script characters, and 
texts were typically bound to a code page which mapped the ordinals to 
script characters." 
Just a thought.

I'm not too sure what I should do with another error in the tutorial... I 
guess starting a new bugreport each time for stuff like simple typos would 
be overkill, so maybe it's just easier to attach (an)other error(s) here? 
If you prefer a new bugreport, please tell me. 
 
Anyway, on to the actual "error"... 
URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node4.html 
Part: 2.2.2 Executable Python Scripts 
Sentence: "The script can be given a executable mode, or permission, using 
the chmod command:" 
Should be: "aN executable mode", AFAIK.
