Summary: tokenizer.py STARSTAR doesn't exist

Initial Comment:
pyChecker complains at line 774 of tokenizer.py
No module attribute (STARSTAR) found

The section is:

                if i < len(nodelist):
                    # should be DOUBLESTAR or STAR STAR
                    t = nodelist[i][0]
                    if t == token.DOUBLESTAR:
                        node = nodelist[i+1]
                    elif t == token.STARSTAR:
                        node = nodelist[i+2]
                    else:
                        raise ValueError, "unexpected
token: %s" % t
                    names.append(node[1])
                    flags = flags | CO_VARKEYWORDS

I've verified that there is no STARSTAR in token.py.
I'd patch this to be token.STAR, which does exist, but
this module has no self tests or unit tests, so I
wouldn't be able to know if it broke anything.

My wild guess is that the intention is to refer to two
STAR tokens rather than a DOUBLESTAR token (and that is
because the increment is 2 rather than 1), but I think
that evidence is pretty slim.
