Fix so that docother() doesn't blow up.
Eliminate man() function since doc() and man() did nearly the same thing.
Various other code cleanup and refactoring to reduce duplication.
Simplify and rewrite freshimport() so modules are always up to date,
even within packages (where reload() doesn't work).
Add finalization callback to the server (so that if the server fails to
start for some reason, the main thread isn't left hanging).

For short ints, Python defers to the platform C library to figure out what
%#x should do. The code asserted that the platform C returned a string
beginning with "0x". However, that's not true when-- and only when --the
*value* being formatted is 0. Changed the code to live with C's inconsistency
here. In the meantime, the problem does not arise if you format a long 0 (0L)
instead. However, that's because the code *we* wrote to do %#x conversions on
longs produces a leading "0x" regardless of value. That's probably wrong too:
we should drop leading "0x", for consistency with C, when (& only when) formatting
0L. So I changed the long formatting code to do that too.
20.7, although not all of the compatibility code for older Emacsen has
been removed. Specifically, the old "make sure we have a current
custom.el library" stuff is removed, as is the hack-around for an
NTEmacs 19.34.6 make-temp-name bug.
Updated much of the Commentary section in the initial comments.
Much more importantly, I've integrated Ken Manheimer's pdbtrack stuff,
which is way cool. When enabled (as by default), this turns on the
overlay arrow when pdb is entered, either in the shell buffer or in
the *Python* buffer. Specifically:
(py-mode-map): Added C-c C-d to toggle pdb tracking.
(py-pdbtrack-do-tracking-p): New user customizable variable to control
whether overlay arrow tracking is enabled or not. This variable is
buffer local and is turned on by default.
(py-pdbtrack-minor-mode-string): The string that's added to the minor
mode alist when actually doing pdb overlay arrow tracking. User
customizable.
(py-pdbtrack-toggle-stack-tracking, turn-on-pdbtrack,
turn-off-pdbtrack): New commands to control pdb tracking.
(py-pdbtrack-is-tracking-p): Helper variable used to control the
display of py-pdbtrack-minor-mode-string. Set to true when the
overlay arrow is enabled, and false when it's disabled.
(py-pdbtrack-stack-entry-regexp, py-pdbtrack-input-prompt,
py-pdbtrack-track-range): Inherited from pdbtrack.el and renamed.
(py-pdbtrack-overlay-arrow, py-pdbtrack-track-stack-file): New
functions which actually do the tracking.
(py-shell): Add py-pdbtrack-track-stack-file to
comint-output-filter-functions.
Finally, add py-pdbtrack-track-stack-file to
comint-output-filter-functions at the file level. This and the
py-shell addition should ensure that pdb tracking is installed
regardless of the order of operation.
Also, add py-pdbtrack-minor-mode-string to minor-mode-alist.
Fix based on patch #414750 by Michael Hudson.
New functions get_func_name() and get_func_desc() return reasonable
names and descriptions for all objects. XXX Even objects that aren't
actually callable.
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).
This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard
input."
Added description of optional parameter to the TestSuite constructor.
Added descriptions of the TestLoader and TextTestRunner classes.
Added method descriptions for the TestCase class.
