Some performance and readability fixes to robotparser.py.

On line 108 (new 104), spaces should probably be added on both sides of the 
comparison operator, instead of only after the ">=".

The "%s" changes might end up getting changed again as part of 2to3, but 
this is a clear improvement over status quo, particularly with the loops.

I recommend applying.

Yes, of course I meant spaces on both sides of ">=", it was just a typo
of mine. I am sorry. I am glad you recommend applying my patch. I hope
it helps.

Also, I would like to tell you that my new account name is "Indy", and
not "indy90" anymore (I changed since this issue tracker moved from
SourceForge to here). So, thanks again and I hope this patch will be
helpful.

So, finally, will this patch be applied?

Can we have a unified diff as per http://www.python.org/dev/patches/?

Sure.

Is the patch, now, in an acceptable format?

Skip, are you still maintaining this?

Yes, why not?

Actually, I am the original author of the patch, but I changed my
username like I said above (in a previous post).

Oh, I am sorry, I thought you were talking to me. Excuse me.

These changes mostly look fine but shouldn't go it until after the 
beta.  This is really the wrong time in the release cycle to be making 
minor spacing changes and making it harder to get a meaningful "svn 
ann".

BTW, the first change should go the distance and use map() instead of a 
list comprehension:  
   lines = map(str.strip, f)

OK

I suppose I'm as good a person to continue maintaining this as any,
though my time is largely spent doing other stuff these days.  The patch
doesn't apply cleanly right now and lots of the changes it suggests have
been made already (or done in slightly different ways).  I've attached a
simplified patch which takes care of the only two changes I see which
seem to still be worthwhile.  Assigning to Benjamin and changing
resolution to "remind" so he can either apply himself when the time is
right or toss it back to me.  (I apologize, but I am not intimately
tuned into the alpha/beta release process at the moment.)

Skip

OK. I committed the patch in r64901. Thanks for the work!
