Neil Schemenauer 6cbba50a43 Make test_coercion.py less sensitive to platform fp quirks. Closes
SF bug #678265.

Neil Schemenauer 3ea60c2a7a Match new sequence behavior. User defined types now behave better as and
with sequences.

Tim Peters 6912d4ddf0 Generalize tuple() to work nicely with iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
This one surprised me!  While I expected tuple() to be a no-brainer, turns
out it's actually dripping with consequences:
1. It will *allow* the popular PySequence_Fast() to work with any iterable
   object (code for that not yet checked in, but should be trivial).
2. It caused two std tests to fail.  This because some places used
   PyTuple_Sequence() (the C spelling of tuple()) as an indirect way to test
   whether something *is* a sequence.  But tuple() code only looked for the
   existence of sq->item to determine that, and e.g. an instance passed
   that test whether or not it supported the other operations tuple()
   needed (e.g., __len__).  So some things the tests *expected* to fail
   with an AttributeError now fail with a TypeError instead.  This looks
   like an improvement to me; e.g., test_coercion used to produce 559
   TypeErrors and 2 AttributeErrors, and now they're all TypeErrors.  The
   error details are more informative too, because the places calling this
   were *looking* for TypeErrors in order to replace the generic tuple()
   "not a sequence" msg with their own more specific text, and
   AttributeErrors snuck by that.

Neil Schemenauer 623116a870 Sequence repeat works now for in-place multiply with an integer type
as the left operand.  I don't know if this is a feature or a bug.

Neil Schemenauer 38796d07a5 Use numbers that can be accurately represented on binary machines. I hope
this works on all platforms.

Neil Schemenauer fd288c7cd5 Add more tests for compare and coercion in preparation for the coercion
overhaul.  Closes SF patch #102878.
