This was originally suggested by Guido, discussed on the stdlib-sig mailing
list, and given the OK by Guido directly to me. What this change essentially
means is that Python has taken a policy of silencing warnings that are only
of interest to developers by default. This should prevent users from seeing
warnings which are triggered by an application being run against a new
interpreter before the app developer has a chance to update their code.
Closes issue #7319. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou, Ezio Melotti, and Brian Curtin
for helping with the issue.
match Python 2.5 speed despite the __instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__
mechanism. In the process, fix a bug where isinstance() and issubclass(),
when given a tuple of classes as second argument, were looking up
__instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ on the tuple rather than on each
type object.

test.test_support.catch_warning is more full-featured and provides the same
functionality.
Since guard_warnings_filter was added in 2.6 there is no
backwards-compatibility issues.
The problem of checking too eagerly for recursive calls is the
following: if a RuntimeError is caused by recursion, and if code needs
to normalize it immediately (as in the 2nd test), then
PyErr_NormalizeException() needs a call to the RuntimeError class to
instantiate it, and this hits the recursion limit again... causing
PyErr_NormalizeException() to never finish.
Moved this particular recursion check to slot_tp_call(), which is not
involved in instantiating built-in exceptions.
Backport candidate.

the SF "Unix name" is zseil).
This appears to cure the oddball intermittent leaks across
runs when running test_exceptions under -R. I'm not sure
why, but I'm too sleepy to care ;-)
The thrust of the SF patch was to remove randomness in the
pickle protocol used. I changed the patch to use
range(pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL + 1), to try both pickle and
cPickle, and randomly mucked with other test lines to put
statements on their own lines.
Not a bugfix candidate (this is fiddling new-in-2.5 code).
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.

happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
imports of test modules now import from the test package. Other
related oddities are also fixed (like DeprecationWarning filters that
weren't specifying the full import part, etc.). Also did a general
code cleanup to remove all "from test.test_support import *"'s. Other
from...import *'s weren't changed.
1. Acknowledge the welknown difference that jython
allows continue in the finally clause.
2. Avoid using _testcapi when running with jython.
This closes patch "[ #490417 ] Jython and test_exceptions"
Add raise_exception() to the _testcapi module. It isn't a test, but
the C API exists only to support test_exceptions. raise_exception()
takes two arguments -- an exception class and an integer specifying
how many arguments it should be called with.
test_exceptions uses BadException() to test the interpreter's behavior
when there is a problem instantiating the exception. test_capi1()
calls it with too many arguments. test_capi2() causes an exception to
be raised in the Python code of the constructor.
