Initial Comment:
Not very hard to figure out, but easy enough to fix:

5.4 Data marshalling support

>>> (A)
void PyMarshal_WriteObjectToFile(PyObject *value, FILE 
*file) 
Marshal a Python object, value, to file. This will 
only write the least-significant 16 bits of value; 
regardless of the size of the native short type.

>>> The final sentence should be dropped (or moved to 
spot XYZ)

>>> (B)
int PyMarshal_ReadShortFromFile(FILE *file) 
Return a C short from the data stream in a FILE* 
opened for reading. Only a 16-bit value can be read in 
using this function, regardless of the native size of 
long. 

>>> perhaps "... native size of short."  (this is XYZ)
