[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Doc/lib libstdtypes.tex,1.31,1.32

[Fred L. Drake]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv19755/lib

Modified Files:
	libstdtypes.tex 
Log Message:

Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).
