# changes to be integrated for 2.5.1

-add cgi-bin subdirectories in Extras/{pp3e,Internet}

-new PP3E examples distribution 1.2 - pymailgui now uses grids for linux,
fixed handful of non-ascii characters and lingering pp2e references;
note that pymailgui still can't save part files if run off CD.

-new mailconfig for PyMailGUI in PP3E examples distro, for my email
accounts

-intro: mention PEPs, testing suite, PSF; SOAP, XML-RPC, CORBA; PIL, animation libs; 
-Python vs Perl: can do same tasks, but can read your code after you do it

-more on distutils in Using Py -- not for 3rd party installs -- setup.py, 
Built-in tools, Extending -- alternative to makefiles

-unit6 modules: 2.5 relative imports text was slid under a figure

-add with/as to statements table at start of unit4
this is an optional feature in 2.5 (but turned on in 2.5 idle!)

-system interfaces: getopt/optparse bullet in wrong place
-system interfaces: mention subprocess, cygwin

-new class example: class Privates, __setattr__
-new class rec: pass example
-new class example: class Callback, __call__

delete bizarre slicing exercises in lab2?

-add dir() help() examples in types unit, for more details

-change apply(func, args) call in functions lab to use func(*args)

-databases unit: cx_Oracle, module name, no: new examples, informix

-modules: add from * issues, and from/reload problems; update package 
example sketch

-extending: add intro sketch from pp3e

Intro:
-YouTube almost entirely written in Python (per gvr)
-MIT intro cs class using Python
-iRobot vacuum hackable in python
-PythonCE for Windows Mobile

-drop the Tools\Workbook.doc file; redundant with the
top-level Workbook HTML directory.
