Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv887/Doc/lib

Modified Files:
	libstdtypes.tex 
Log Message:
- list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be
  interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the
  list.  This was the only place where such an interpretation was not
  placed on a list index.
