Try to fix this in every Python documentation that you can.

The typo was found here: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#memoryview

"Create a memoryview that references obj. obj must support the buffer protocol. Builtin objects that /.../."

Fix this to "Create a memoryview that references obj, which must support the buffer protocol. Built-in objects that /.../."

Thank you.

Fixed the built-in spelling in 13bc0511b3d3.  I did not do the other change; having two-level relative clauses is not really readable.

Georg, please fix all the branches. Also, the online docs are still not updated with this fix.
