Antoine Pitrou 8d4e505aa8 Issue #4935: The overflow checking code in the expandtabs() method common
to str, bytes and bytearray could be optimized away by the compiler (*), letting
the interpreter segfault instead of raising an error.

(*) or at least it is our interpretation

Guido van Rossum 98297ee781 Merging the py3k-pep3137 branch back into the py3k branch.
No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

Gregory P. Smith 60d241f135 For PEP3137: Adds missing methods to the mutable PyBytes object (soon
to be called a buffer).  Shares code with stringobject when possible.
Adds unit tests with common code that should be usable to test the PEPs
mutable buffer() and immutable bytes() types.
