number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
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.
Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
* Allow the 3rd argument to generator.throw() to be None.
The 'raise' statement does the same, and anyway it follows the
general policy that optional arguments of built-ins should, when
reasonable, have a default value specifiable from Python.
was never called during interpreter shutdown GC, so the f_back!=NULL
assertion was correct. Now that generators get close()d during GC,
the assertion was being triggered because the generator close() was being
called as the top-level frame. However, nothing actually is broken by
this; it's just that the condition was unexpected in previous Python
versions.
