In section 1 of the tutorial, it says this:

"Python enables programs to written compactly and
readably."

It should probably read like so:

"Python enables programs to be written compactly and
readably."

I'd like it even better like so:

"Python enables programs to be compact and readable."


Also, even though it probably doesn't matter really
since it's just an example, in your Fibonacci sequence
example in section 4.6 it should probably be "while b
<= n" as opposed to "while b < n".  Because if n == 1,
nothing is spit out.  But even then it still wouldn't
handle 0.

Not sure where you are seeing the grammar problem in section
1.  It is fixed in SVN and on this page: 
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

Presumably you are looking at an old version.
