cpython/Lib/bisect.py
Guido van Rossum 4acc25bd39 Mass patch by Ka-Ping Yee:
1. Comments at the beginning of the module, before
       functions, and before classes have been turned
       into docstrings.

    2. Tabs are normalized to four spaces.

Also, removed the "remove" function from dircmp.py, which reimplements
list.remove() (it must have been very old).
