  \method{__getitem__()} is more properly used to define an indexing
  operation on an object so that you can write \code{obj[5]} to retrieve
! the fifth element.  It's a bit misleading when you're using this only
  to support \keyword{for} loops.  Consider some file-like object that
  wants to be looped over; the \var{index} parameter is essentially

    \item The \module{xmlrpclib} module was contributed to the standard
! library by Fredrik Lundh.  It provides support for writing XML-RPC
! clients; XML-RPC is a simple remote procedure call protocol built on
! top of HTTP and XML. For example, the following snippet retrieves a
! list of RSS channels from the O'Reilly Network, and then retrieves a
! list of the recent headlines for one channel:

+   alternative MIME-type databases by the addition of a

+   \item Files ending in \samp{.pyw} can now be imported on Windows.
+   \samp{.pyw} is a Windows-only thing, used to indicate that a script
+   needs to be run using PYTHONW.EXE instead of PYTHON.EXE in order to
+   prevent a DOS console from popping up to display the output.  This
+   patch makes it possible to import such scripts, in case they're also
+   usable as modules.  (Implemented by David Bolen.)

    \item On platforms where Python uses the C \cfunction{dlopen()} function 
    to load extension modules, it's now possible to set the flags used
