Thanks for the patch, I left a couple notes on the review site (http://bugs.python.org/review/16827/).

Ezio suggested moving the doc about floating point issues to an appendix too; what’s your opinion on that?

I wonder if the advanced contents should be placed in appendices in the tutorial or merged with the rest of the docs (language or library reference).  I guess the idea of tutorial appendices is that people can think they are not required reading and skip them, but know they are here if needed?  If that works, I’m all for it.

Jamayla, your patch is not in a form that’s easy to review.  This page gives help about how to use Merurial to track changes instead of working with copies of files: http://docs.python.org/devguide/patch.html
