From 9e63faaa66acaed188b84b073d80148f5b04413c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org>

Subject: Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env
 python" since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
