Summary: use basestring where possible

Initial Comment:
This patch replaces isinstance(foo, (str, unicode)) 

with isinstance(foo, basestring).

This will make the scripts cleaner, faster and less 

error prone.



Apparently, this patch applies to Python >= 2.3.

Applied the change for doctest, pkgutil, and 

test.test_textwrap.



csv needs to remain Py2.2 compatible.

I'm not inclined to change anything in the platmac tree 

because that group of users is highly sensitive to small 

changes.
