Hi,

I read a bit of the Extending/Embedding and Python/C
API docs during the last weeks and gathered several
typos during this process. This relates to Python
2.3.2. I attached a patch for the .tex files. Here
follows the list of the problems (all minor) addressed
by this patch. Thanks!

Doc/api/abstract.tex:
  "Call the method named \var{m} of object \var{o}"
should be replaced by "Call the method named
\var{method} of object \var{o}".


Doc/api/newtypes.tex:
  "The specific fields it expands to depends on"
                                           ^

  "in Python 2.2.1 and later it will be initialized to
the \member{ob_type} field of the base class"
  -> "it _is_ initialized" if the forecast was correct :-)

  There is a paragraph that reads "PyObject_HEAD_INIT"
alone by itself, just before the
"\begin{ctypedesc}{PyCFunction}". I think at least an
"XXX" (as used later in the same file) is missing.

  "Pointer to an additional structure contains fields"
-> "Pointer to an additional structure that contains
fields"


Doc/api/exceptions.tex:
  "that identifies where the context in which the
unraisable exception occurred"
  -> "where" should be suppressed


Doc/ext/newtypes.tex:
  "Note that used the \constant{METH_NOARGS} flag"
            ^
           we

  "It's reference count" should be replaced by "Its
reference count".


Doc/tut/tut.tex:
  "When importing the package, Python searchs" -> "When
importing the package, Python searches"
