I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux.  The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.

state.

Patch by Daniel Urban.

Issue #13201: equality for range objects is now based on equality of the underlying sequences.  Thanks Sven Marnach for the patch.

#11845: Fix typo in rangeobject.c that caused a crash in compute_slice_indices.  Patch by Daniel Urban.

Issue 10889: Support slicing and indexing of large ranges (no docs changes, since, as far as I know, we never said anywhere that this *didn't* work)

Issue 2690: Add support for slicing and negative indices to range objects (includes precalculation and storage of the range length).

I replaced sys.maxint with sys.maxsize in Lib/*.py. Does anybody see a problem with the change on Win 64bit platforms? Win 64's long is just 32bit but the sys.maxsize is now 2**63-1 on every 64bit platform.
Also added docs for sys.maxsize.

  So long xrange.  range() now supports values that are outside
  -sys.maxint to sys.maxint.  floats raise a TypeError.

  This has been sitting for a long time.  It probably has some problems and
  needs cleanup.  Objects/rangeobject.c now uses 4-space indents since
  it is almost completely new.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

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.

silently converts floats to integers when expecting integer values.

least as big as a long. I believe this to be a safe assumption that is being
made in many parts of CPython, but a check could be added.

len(xrange(sys.maxint)) works now, so fix the testsuite's odd exception for
64-bit platforms too. It also fixes 'zip(xrange(sys.maxint), it)' as a
portable-ish (if expensive) alternative to enumerate(it); since zip() now
calls len(), this was breaking on (real) 64-bit platforms. No additional
test was added for that behaviour.

rangeobject.c has an #ifdef that is reached only when LONG_MAX != INT_MAX
