When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value
This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.

angered some God somewhere. After noticing

I found that my cute test for the slice being empty failed due to
overflow. Fixed, and added simple test (not the above!).
classes was called with three arguments. This makes no sense, there's
no way to pass in the "modulo" 3rd argument as for __pow__, and
classic classes don't do this. [SF bug 620179]
I don't want to backport this to 2.2.2, because it could break
existing code that has developed a work-around. Code in 2.2.2 that
wants to use __ipow__ and wants to be forward compatible with 2.3
should be written like this:
def __ipow__(self, exponent, modulo=None):

macros. The 'op' argument is then the result from PyObject_MALLOC,
and that can of course be NULL. In that case, PyObject_Init[Var]
would raise a SystemError with "NULL object passed to
PyObject_Init[Var]". But there's nothing the caller of the macro can
do about this. So PyObject_Init[Var] should call just PyErr_NoMemory.
Will backport.
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults. This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped. After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.
An identical bug existed in unicodeobject.c, of course.
Will backport to 2.2.2.
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
between %s and %r.
because PyObject_Repr() and PyObject_Str() ensure that this can never
happen. Added a helpful comment instead.
sees a Unicode argument. Unfortunately this test was also executed
for %r, because %s and %r share almost all of their code. This meant
that, if u is a unicode object while repr(u) is an 8-bit string
containing ASCII characters, '%r' % u is a *unicode* string containing
only ASCII characters!
Fixed by executing the test only for %s.

but returns r->len which is a long. This doesn't even cause a warning
on 32-bit platforms, but can return bogus values on 64-bit platforms
(and should cause a compiler warning). Fix this by inserting a range
check when LONG_MAX != INT_MAX, and adding an explicit cast to (int)
when the test passes. When r->len is out of range, PySequence_Size()
and hence len() will report an error (but an iterator will still
work).
Unicode strings (with arbitrary length) are allowed
as entries in the unicode.translate mapping.
Add a test case for multicharacter replacements.

globals, _Py_Ticker and _Py_CheckInterval. This also implements Jeremy's
shortcut in Py_AddPendingCall that zeroes out _Py_Ticker. This allows the
test in the main loop to only test a single value.
The gory details are at

of PyString_DecodeEscape(). This prevents a call to
_PyString_Resize() for the empty string, which would
result in a PyErr_BadInternalCall(), because the
empty string has more than one reference.
