Raymond Hettinger 42b1ba31af * list.sort() now supports three keyword arguments: cmp, key, and reverse.
key provides C support for the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern.
  reverse provide a stable sort of the list with the comparisions reversed.

* Amended the docs to guarantee sort stability.

Fred Drake 664a27133c - don't re-write a SourceForge authenticated CVS root into the
anonymous flavor unless the user asks for it on the command line

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.
