You are exactly right Steve - that is very close to what I am seeing and it is
often quite hard to read. For example, where function prototypes are displayed
on two lines, it takes me a lot longer to parse and understand them when
compared with a situation where

Comparing the basic.css files for the 3.6.5 chm file and the 3.6.6 chm file
shows that the latter has the following body style definition that the earlier
versions don't have:

New submission from gladman:
It is very easy to misread the greek 'nu' used in the ord(c) documentation as
ord('v') (i.e. an alphabetic 'v'). This can lead the reader to draw a wrong
conclusion about the behaviour of the function.
Would it not be better if this example used a greek letter

I have now got it working using the command line:
C:\Program Files\Python35\Tools\scriptsC:\Program Files\Python34\python
2to3.py --help
I am not sure why the default Windows invocation of Python doesn't work with
2to3 as this works fine with other python scripts
New submission from gladman:
when I try to use the 2to3 script on the command line on Windows x64, I get the
response:

Hi Steve,
The behaviour I reported was the same on Python 3.4 and 3.5rc1. But eryksun
was correct in suggesting that this was a problem in the way my file

I have been using _msvcompiler.py from Python 3.5 to build some executables but
I have been unable to get it to generate and embed a manifest.
When I looked into this I found that the subroutine that sets up the parameters

I notice on the documentation for Python 3.5 that this proposed addition is not
mentioned. Is it still the intention to add this proposed change to Python 3.5?

You might be right that it is not worth adding the ability to handle a variable
number of parameters in the new gcd. But this depends on whether you are right
that this would add a significant burden to the implementation. I am not sure
that it would

I am inclined to think that a maths.gcd() makes sense as this would be where I
would go first to find this function. And the prospect of better performance
is attractive since the gcd is an important operation in work with number
theory algorithms.

After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that the GCD of two integers

As it appears that there isn't general agreement on how to calculate the GCD

thinking about it.

There is a discussion of this issue on comp.lang.python
The function known as 'the greatest common divisor' has a number of well
defined mathematical properties for both positive and negative integers (see,
