0dbb4fba4c
Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
...
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)
That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from

Document use_rawinput. (Although now that I think more about it, a

Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
