On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
...
instead of raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The
other one was integer division...) This implements (my) SF patch
#440487 .

...
except that it always returns Unicode objects.
A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable

goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it

In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long

\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap. This keeps it
