[issue6778] False positives given through bisect module (binary search)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

It's not a match, it's an insertion point.  The bisect module doesn't
have a method that can be used directly to determine if an item is not
in the list.  Take a careful look at the example, especially the second
part.

If you think it should have such a method, that would be an enhancement
request.
