| Python Misc subdirectory |
| ======================== |
| |
| This directory contains files that wouldn't fit in elsewhere, in |
| particular the UNIX manual page, an Emacs mode for Python source code, |
| and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers). Some |
| documents are only of historic importance. |
