and str (unicode) patterns get full unicode matching by default. The re.ASCII
flag is also introduced to ask for ASCII matching instead.

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.

  Make map() and filter() identical to itertools.imap() and .ifilter(),
  respectively.

  I fixed two bootstrap issues, due to the dynamic import of itertools:

  1. Starting python requires that map() and filter() are not used until
     site.py has added build/lib.<arch> to sys.path.
  2. Building python requires that setup.py and distutils and everything
     they use is free of map() and filter() calls.

  Beyond this, I only fixed the tests in test_builtin.py.
  Others, please help fixing the remaining tests that are now broken!
  The fixes are usually simple:
  a. map(None, X) -> list(X)
  b. map(F, X) -> list(map(F, X))
  c. map(lambda x: F(x), X) -> [F(x) for x in X]
  d. filter(F, X) -> list(filter(F, X))
  e. filter(lambda x: P(x), X) -> [x for x in X if P(x)]

  Someone, please also contribute a fixer for 2to3 to do this.
  It can leave map()/filter() calls alone that are already
  inside a list() or sorted() call or for-loop.

  Only in rare cases have I seen code that depends on map() of lists
  of different lengths going to the end of the longest, or on filter()
  of a string or tuple returning an object of the same type; these
  will need more thought to fix.

Fix the idna codec and the tests.

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.

(branch-creation time) up to 43067. 43068 and 43069 contain a little
swapping action between re.py and sre.py, and this mightily confuses svn
merge, so later changes are going in separately.

This merge should break no additional tests.

The last-merged revision is going in a 'last_merge' property on '.' (the
branch directory.) Arbitrarily chosen, really; if there's a BCP for this, I
couldn't find it, but we can easily change it afterwards ;)
