New submission from David W. Lambert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I ran doctests on the interactive session scripts from the tutorial. Aside from finding a doctest enhancement---but there are already so many doctest issues tracked---I found these discrepancies using online tutorial and Python 3.0rc1 (r30rc1:66499, Oct 17 2008, 13:11:34)
