Guido van Rossum 63b08ac2f7 Whoops! We just discovered that Gordon's revamp of this module was
accidentally wiped out by Ping's patch (which shouldn't have affected
this file at all, had Ping done a cvs update).

This checkin restores Gordon's version, with Fredrik's change merged
back in.

Guido van Rossum 1916b35f58 Fredrik Lundh:
The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache
which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index.

This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement,
and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not
else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds
when using the module ;-).

Guido van Rossum 54f22ed30b More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,
who writes:

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.

I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.

The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings.  Hope this is
okay.

# combo of old cmp, cmpcache and dircmp with redundancies removed
#
# bugs fixed:
#   dircmp.dircmp was not ignoring IGNORES

#
# enhancements:
#   dircmp has a more straightforward interface
#cmp enhanced by Moshe Zadca
#dircmp enhanced byGordon McMillan

Guido van Rossum 2d72687006 New module by Moshe Zadka (submitted on Sept. 25). This unifies the
functionality of cmp.py and cmpcache.py, which are hereby declared
obsolescent.
