Kevin Buettner 86ceaf9867 Make documentation of "python" command match actual behavior
The example in the documentation for the "python" command shows GDB
outputting instructions for how to terminate a sequence of python
commands entered from the command line.  The documentation shows that
the following two lines are being output, though this does not occur
when actually using the "python" command from GDB:

    Type python script
    End with a line saying just "end".

While display of this text might be helpful, GDB has several other
commands which also use the "end" terminator that offer no such text.
Examples include the "if" and "while" commands.  For example,

(gdb) if 1==1
 >print "a"
 >end
$1 = "a"

This seems similar to doing:

(gdb) python
 >print 23
 >end
23

If we decide that we want the "python" command to print such a message,
we should also adjust the behavior for other GDB commands which also use
"end" to terminate a command list.  I.e, if this decision is made, the
"if" and "while" commands ought to also print similar messages.

So, for the moment anyway, this commit adjusts the documentation of the
python command to match its implementation.

This patch was taken from a larger body of work originating from the
Archer project.  I haven't been able to determine its original author,
though I did find a commit log from Jan Kratochvil (in the Archer
repository) which suggests that the change had originally been made to
gdb.texinfo, but got inadvertently dropped when the python related
documentation was split out to python.texi.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* python.texi (python command): Revise example to match
	command behavior.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
