That was the only change submitted. Are you happy with what was checked-in?

This change looks wrong:

PyDoc_STRVAR(rpartition__doc__, -"S.rpartition(sep) -> (head, sep, tail)\n
+"S.rpartition(sep) -> (tail, sep, head)\n\

It looks like the code itself does the right thing, but I wasn't quite confident of that.
