section~\ref{section-bool} of this document.
\item The \function{int()} type constructor will now return a long
integer instead of raising an \exception{OverflowError} when a string
or floating-point number is too large to fit into an integer. This
can lead to the paradoxical result that
\code{isinstance(int(\var{expression}), int)} is false, but that seems unlikely to cause problems in practice.
\item Built-in types now support the extended slicing syntax,
as described in section~\ref{section-slices} of this document.

\item \keyword{yield} is now always a keyword; if it's used as a
variable name in your code, a different name must be chosen.
\item You can no longer disable assertions by assigning to \code{__debug__}.
\item Using \code{None} as a variable name will now result in a
\exception{SyntaxWarning} warning.
\item Names of extension types defined by the modules included with
Python now contain the module and a \character{.} in front of the type
name.
\item For strings \var{X} and \var{Y}, \code{\var{X} in \var{Y}} now works
if \var{X} is more than one character long.

\item You can no longer disable assertions by assigning to \code{__debug__}.
\item The Distutils \function{setup()} function has gained various new
keyword arguments such as \var{depends}. Old versions of the
Distutils will abort if passed unknown keywords. The fix is to check
