reference/index: Rewrite introduction paragraph to avoid confusion. The old intro talked about "differences", but there were hardly any sections describing differences, mostly MicroPython specific features. On the other hand, we now have real "differences" chapter, though it's mostly concerned with stdlib differences. So, try to avoid confusion by changing wording and linking to the other chapters and contrasting them with what is described in "MicroPython language". 7 years ago			`.. _cpython_diffs:`

docs/differences/index_template: Use consistent heading casing. And in our case, "consistent" is where each word in the heading is not capitalized. 7 years ago			`MicroPython differences from CPython`
tools: Add gen-cpydiff.py to generate docs differences. This patch introduces the a small framework to track differences between uPy and CPython. The framework consists of: - A set of "tests" which test for an individual feature that differs between uPy and CPy. Each test is like a normal uPy test in the test suite, but has a special comment at the start with some meta-data: a category (eg syntax, core language), a human-readable description of the difference, a cause, and a workaround. Following the meta-data there is a short code snippet which demonstrates the difference. See tests/cpydiff directory for the initial set of tests. - A program (this patch) which runs all the tests (on uPy and CPy) and generates nicely-formated .rst documenting the differences. - Integration into the docs build so that everything is automatic, and the differences appear in a way that is easy for users to read/reference (see latter commits). The idea with using this new framework is: - When a new difference is found it's easy to write a short test for it, along with a description, and add it to the existing ones. It's also easy for contributors to submit tests for differences they find. - When something is no longer different the tool will give an error and difference can be removed (or promoted to a proper feature test). 8 years ago			`====================================`
