* change default line numbers for 'list' in pdb.py
* changed eval() into getattr() in cmd.py * added dirname(), basename() and (dummy) normath() to macpath.py * renamed nntp.py to nntplib.py * Made string.index() compatible with strop.index() * Make string.atoi('') raise string.atoi_error rather than ValueError * Added dirname() and normpath() to posixpath.

+# An NNTP client class. Based on RFC 977: Network News Transfer
+# Protocol, by Brian Kantor and Phil Lapsley.
+
+
+# Example:
+#
+# >>> from nntp import NNTP
+# >>> s = NNTP().init('charon')
+# >>> resp, count, first, last, name = s.group('nlnet.misc')
+# >>> print 'Group', name, 'has', count, 'articles, range', first, 'to', last
+# Group nlnet.misc has 525 articles, range 6960 to 7485
+# >>> resp, subs = s.xhdr('subject', first + '-' + last)
+# >>> resp = s.quit()
+# >>>
+#
+# Here 'resp' is the server response line.
+# Error responses are turned into exceptions.
+#
+# To post an article from a file:
+# >>> f = open(filename, 'r') # file containing article, including header
+# >>> resp = s.post(f)
+# >>>
+#
+# For descriptions of all methods, read the comments in the code below.
+# Note that all arguments and return values representing article numbers
+# are strings, not numbers, since they are rarely used for calculations.
