\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

+ \item Files ending in \samp{.pyw} can now be imported on Windows.

+ 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
