Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/api
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv31546/api

Modified Files:
concrete.tex
Log Message:
Warn people away from PyModule_GetDict(), but not too strongly.
(The real issue is whether modules can benefit from an alternate
implementation strategy rather than using a dictionary. We should migrate
away from direct dictionary manipulation to allow more room for Jeremy to
flex the implementation with changes in globals lookup.)
