that may be raised -- this will be fixed in a future version of
this manual.

to [1.0, 2.0], and similar for tuples.

- ...tex2html_comment_mark2.5
- These numbers are fairly arbitrary. They are intended to
avoid printing endless strings of meaningless digits without hampering
correct use and without having to know the exact precision of floating
point values on a particular machine.

- ...tex2html_comment_mark2.6
- The advantage of leaving the newline on is that an empty string
can be returned to mean EOF without being ambiguous. Another
advantage is that (in cases where it might matter, e.g. if you
want to make an exact copy of a file while scanning its lines)
you can tell whether the last line of a file ended in a newline
or not (yes this happens!).

- ...tex2html_comment_mark2.9
- Specifying a buffer size currently has no effect on systems
that don't have setvbuf(). The interface to specify the buffer
size is not done using a method that calls setvbuf(), because
that may dump core when called after any I/O has been performed, and
there's no reliable way to determine whether this is the case.

- In the current implementation, local variable bindings
cannot normally be affected this way, but variables retrieved from
other scopes (e.g. modules) can be. This may change.

- ...tex2html_comment_mark3.1
- The name of this module stems from a bit of terminology used
by the designers of Modula-3 (amongst others), who use the term
``marshalling'' for shipping of data around in a self-contained form.
Strictly speaking, ``to marshal'' means to convert some data from
internal to external form (in an RPC buffer for instance) and
``unmarshalling'' for the reverse process.

- ...tex2html_comment_mark3.2
- A solution would be to refuse such literals in the parser,
since they are inherently non-portable. Another solution would be to
let the marshal module raise an exception when an integer
value would be truncated. At least one of these solutions will be
implemented in a future version.

This was once necessary, when Python would print any unused expression
result that was not None. The method is still defined for
backward compatibility.
