Python Library Reference v2.5 (19 September 2006),
section 9.1.1, entry for class excel_tab: 

Documentation should note that though the class is
excel_tab (with an underscore), the dialect name is
'excel-tab' (with a hyphen). 

Possible fix is to add a sentence: 

class excel_tab(  	)
    The excel_tab class defines the usual properties of
an Excel-generated TAB-delimited file. Specify in
reader, writer, etc. with "dialect = 'excel-tab'" (with
a hyphen, not an underscore).

Thanks.  Checked in as revision 52218 on svn trunk.  I'm having some
svn trouble with the 2.5 maintenance branch but will check it in there
as well once that's working again.
