Attached patch updates the documentations wherever necessary and removes some dead code (ie. code that is unreachable in Python > 2.4). Notes: - I haven't touched backwards compatibility in code in `django/test/_doctest.py` and `django/util/unittest/loader.py` because I prefer staying as close as possible to the standard library's version. - I haven't removed `django/utils/copycompat.py` and `django/utils/hashcompat.py` because some third-party apps may be using these models. - `django/db/models/base.py` mentions a ""__deepcopy__ problem in Python 2.4""; the code could probably be simplified now, but if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
