73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.

e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.

a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...

bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.
