Summary: null bytes in docstrings

Initial Comment:
the following docstrings contain bogus control characters:

module difflib, function _mdiff, contains four invalid bytes:

    ['\x00', '\x00', '\x00', '\x01']

module StringIO, method readline, contains a null byte:

    ['\x00']

since this breaks help() and probably a bunch of other documentation tools, it 
would probably be a good idea to add the missing backslashes...

Clearer and simpler to make the whole docstring raw.
