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

Let's leave this open.  It is a documentation bug/feature,
so I think it was
submitted to the correct place.

That does not seem inappropriate. I unfortunately do not
have time to do a real patch at this point. But this might
be an excellent way for someone on comp.lang.python to help out.

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.
