I've attached your file to the patch. Some comments:

Struct operates on string input and produces string output, so I think
it belongs in the string chapter where you've placed it. We need to
add more cross-references, so File Formats should mention struct as a
related module.

XDR is really more similar to struct or marshal, I think, but on the
other hand it is an Internet RFC (#1014). Not sure where it should go...

I wonder if the Internet chapter should be split into "HTTP/Web Tools"
(webbrowser, cgi, cgitb, httplib, urllib) and "Non-Web Protocols"
(ftplib, gopherlib, smtp, all the rest).

Distutils should probably be in Program Frameworks. Or it could just
have a chapter of its own, or maybe there are enough modules for an
"Application Support" chapter.
