Python 2.1 RC - PyChecker

[Neal Norwitz]

I've run the CVS version of PyChecker (http://pychecker.sourceforge.net)
against Python 2.1 RC1.  Below are the real or possible problems I found.

Some of the "not used" could be real errors, most are not.
All "uses named arguments" can be safely ignored.
"No global"s are definitely problems AFAICT (except 1 which can't be reached).
