  Issue 6089: str.format raises SystemError.
........

For simple uses for str.format(), this makes the typing easier. Hopfully this
will help in the adoption of str.format().

For example:
'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')

You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields:
'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue')

But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering:
'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering

Will port to 3.1.

Highlights:
 - Adding PyObject_Format.
 - Adding string.Format class.
 - Adding __format__ for str, unicode, int, long, float, datetime.
 - Adding builtin format.
 - Adding ''.format and u''.format.
 - str/unicode fixups for formatters.

The files in Objects/stringlib that implement PEP 3101 (stringdefs.h,
unicodedefs.h, formatter.h, string_format.h) are identical in trunk
and py3k.  Any changes from here on should be made to trunk, and
changes will propogate to py3k).

Prevent these tests from running on Win64 since they don't apply there either

a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.  Found by Google.

It would be good for people to review this especially carefully and verify
I don't have an off by one error and there is no other way to cause overflow.

conversion using the proper magic slot (e.g., __int__()).  Also move conversion
code out of PyNumber_*() functions in the C API into the nb_* function.

Applied patch #1109424.  Thanks Walter Doewald.

it can be used for str and unicode. Drop the test for
   "".join([s]) is s
because this is an implementation detail (and doesn't work for unicode)

and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest()
and use it wherever possible.

Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.

From SF patch #662807.

instead of raising a TypeError. (From SF patch #710127)

Add tests to verify this is fixed.

Add various tests for '%c' % int.

between str, unicode, UserString and the string module
as possible. This increases code coverage in stringobject.c
from 83% to 86% and should help keep the string classes
in sync in the future. From SF patch #662807
