Hey!

I have to say sorry because I found I made a mistake. Because Python-
ast.c is auto-generated and shouldn't be counted here, the right
duplication rate of Python3.0 is very small (5%).
And I found the duplications are quite trivial, I wound not say that
all of them are acceptable, but certainly not a strong enough evident
for code quality.

I have made the same analysis to some commercial source code, the
dup60 rate is quite often significantly larger than 15%.
