Merge recent documentation and IRC changes to stable

[lopcode]

Looking through the diff, no functional change. You should try it first.

Woah, looks like there is a lot more going on here than just irc/documentation

[lopcode]

I see whitespace changes and documentation changes alone? Which bit are you referring to?

EDIT: That and explicitly using Python 2, but it wouldn't have worked without it anyway.
