Summary: Python Programming FAQ should be updated for Python 2.4

Initial Comment:
For example:

* "1.4.3 How do I iterate over a sequence in reverse
order?" should use reversed()
* "1.4.4   How do you remove duplicates from a list?"
should use set()
* "1.5.2   I want to do a complicated sort: can you do
a Schwartzian Transform in Python?" should use sort(key=)
* section 1.6 should use new-style classes

I've submitted this to the webmaster at python.org list for
pursual.  Michael Hoffman: If you can make a patch of the
suggested changes, to help the process along.  I'm
considering it closed here, please let me know if you think
is inappropriate?

I believe the FAQs are only maintained at www.python.org 
and not at SourceForge.  If so, you should email your 
comments to webmaster at python.org and/or 
docs at python.org.

I strongly urge you to work your comments up into a set of 
specific patches (in text form).  In other words, give a 
specific suggested text to replace or augment the old one.  
Since there is no paid editor, this will make changes much 
easier and therefore more likely sooner.
