[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src PLAN.txt,1.1.2.19,1.1.2.20

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv20230/descr/dist/src

Modified Files:
      Tag: descr-branch
	PLAN.txt 
Log Message:
test_generators.py
    Passes again.
ceval.c
    Redid genobject type object to use PyObject_GenericGetAttr; got
    rid of genobject's custom getattr routine.
typeobject.c
    Improved the docstring wrapperbase tab_next uses for .next().
PLAN.txt
    Added note about major (IMO) lost dir() functionality (one of the
    reasons test_generators.py failed is that dir(object) usually
    returns an empty list now).
