Log Message:
Added itertools.tee()

It works like the pure python verion except:
* it stops storing data after of the iterators gets deallocated
* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.

  - Implemented (?(id/name)yes|no) support in SRE (#572936).
  
+ - random.seed() with no arguments or None uses time.time() as a default
+   seed.  Modified to match Py2.2 behavior and use fractional seconds so
+   that successive runs are more likely to produce different sequences.
+ 
+ - random.Random has a new method, getrandbits(k), which returns an int
+   with k random bits.  This method is now an optional part of the API
+   for user defined generators.  Any generator that defines genrandbits()
+   can now use randrange() for ranges with a length >= 2**53.  Formerly,
+   randrange would return only even numbers for ranges that large (see
+   SF bug #812202).  Generators that do not define genrandbits() now
+   issue a warning when randrange() is called with a range that large.
+ 
+ - itertools now has a new function, tee() which produces two independent
+   iterators from a single iterable.
+ 
+ - itertools.izip() with no arguments now returns an empty iterator instead
+   of raising a TypeError exception.

    allow any iterable.  Also the Set.update() has been deprecated because
    it duplicates Set.union_update().
