`inspect` docstring is outdated

Documentation

The docstring of the inspect module on every python 3 branch lists 'im_*' among the 'internal special attributes' whose interfaces are better encapsulated by the functions provided by inspect. However, these attributes of method objects (im_func, im_class, im_self) are python 2 only. The inspect docstring should be changed accordingly to reflect this.

Hi @jonathandung,

I’d like to work on this issue. Could you please assign it to me? Thanks.

The im_* names are in the 2.7 index and are not in the 3.0 index.

I checked that im_ appears nowhere else in inspect.py and nowhere in inspect.rst.

Great, thanks
