order to actually test what it was supposed to test, i.e. that the code
in the __del__ method did not crash. Use instead the new helper
test_support.captured_output().
Also fix the test by having the test classes inherit from object.
Are the getter/setter/deleter attributes supposed to be able to chain? As of
right now they can't as the property tries to call what the property returns,
which is another property when they are chained.
ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call(). Required introducing a
static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.

I've kept a couple of still-valid extra tests in test_descr, but didn't
bother to sort through the new comments and refactorings added in r53997
to see if some of them could be kept. If so, they could go in a
follow-up check-in.
We add some new rules that are required for preserving internal
invariants of types.
1. If type (or a subclass of type) appears in bases, it must appear
before any non-type bases. If a non-type base (like a regular
new-style class) occurred first, it could trick type into
allocating the new class an __dict__ which must be impossible.
2. There are several checks that are made of bases when creating a
type. Those checks are now repeated when assigning to __bases__.
We also add the restriction that assignment to __bases__ may not
change the metaclass of the type.
Add new tests for these cases and for a few other oddball errors that
were no previously tested. Remove a crasher test that was fixed.
Also some internal refactoring: Extract the code to find the most
derived metaclass of a type and its bases. It is now needed in two
places. Rewrite the TypeError checks in test_descr to use doctest.
The tests now clearly show what exception they expect to see.
Give a consistent behavior for comparison and hashing of method objects
(both user- and built-in methods). Now compares the 'self' recursively.
The hash was already asking for the hash of 'self'.
tests. Alas, because only the "x86 OpenBSD trunk" buildbot fails
these tests, and test_descr stops after the first failure, there's
no sane way for me to fix these short of fixing one and then
waiting for the buildbot to reveal the next one.
added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.
