Martin v. Löwis 8d494f3241 Patch #1015021: Stop claiming that coerce can return None. 
Will backport to 2.3.

Raymond Hettinger cb40ba1f5e SF bug #805304: super instances don't support item assignment 
Document a nuance of super().  It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.

Tim Peters feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows 
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function 
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.

Walter Dörwald 2e0b18af30 Change the treatment of positions returned by PEP293 
error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError.

Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.

Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position
from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.

From SF patch #677429.

Neal Norwitz 046b8a7244 Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of eval 
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.
