It's often useful to have older versions around, so you can test your
code against them. Lots of projects try to stay compatible with older
releases.

FooEntry is a class. How would you describe a list of these in a
docstring?
"A list of FooEntries"
"A list of FooEntrys"
"A list of FooEntry's"
"A list of FooEntry instances"
The first one certainly sounds the best, but it seems wierd to change
the spelling of the class name to make it plural

I have a list, songs, which I want to divide into two groups.
Essentially, I want:
new_songs = [s for s in songs if s.is_new()]
old_songs = [s for s in songs if not s.is_new()]
but I don't want to make two passes over the list. I could do:
new_songs = []
old_songs = []

if s.
