In UserString.py from the library, the method "__imul__"
is mis-spelled as "__imull__" (extra L).  This turns out
to be a good thing, since the method uses "+=" on the data
member, a string, where what is intended is apparently "*=".
The class seems to work, I presume, because, since the
interpreter can't find a method __imul__, it does the
multiplication and re-assignment itself.  But:
  import UserString
  a=UserString.UserString("foo")
  a.__imull__(3)
produces a suitable error.

Thanks! Fixed now.
