  \begin{datadesc}{ComplexType}

  \begin{datadesc}{ComplexType}
! The type of complex numbers (e.g. \code{1.0j}).  This is not defined

  \begin{datadesc}{UnicodeType}
! The type of Unicode character strings (e.g. \code{u'Spam'}).

*** 158,163 ****
  
  \begin{datadesc}{StringTypes}
! A list containing \var{StringType} and \var{UnicodeType} used to
! facilitate easier checking for any string object, e.g. \code{s in
! types.StringTypes}.
  \end{datadesc}
--- 160,168 ----
  
  \begin{datadesc}{StringTypes}
! A sequence containing \code{StringType} and \code{UnicodeType} used to
! facilitate easier checking for any string object.  Using this is more
! portable than using a sequence of the two string types constructed
! elsewhere since it only contains \code{UnicodeType} if it has been
! built in the running version of Python.  For example:
! \code{isinstance(s, types.StringTypes)}.
