Raymond Hettinger feb78c94fa Expand the groupby() example to:

* highlight commonalities with SQL's groupby and Unix's uniq,
* demonstrate valid uses for the default identity function,
* add some excitement by suggesting the range of possibilities.

Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933. 
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...

Andrew M. Kuchling fed4f1e9c5 Changes from Moshe: 
- distutils: Windows installers are already working

- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
  be docommented

- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp

- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
  win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
  Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
