Step 2 in putting the MacOS toolbox modules in a package: issue a DepracationWarning in the compatibility modules.

at least in the first two characters.  %p is ill-defined, and people will
forever commit bad tests otherwise ("bad" in the sense that they fall
over (at least on Windows) for lack of a leading '0x'; 5 of the 7 tests
in test_repr.py failed on Windows for that reason this time around).

calling unbound method with wrong first argument.

recent classobject.c change.  When calling an unbound method with no
instances as first argument, the error message has changed.  The
message now contains the class name, but the output text being
compared to is too generic, so skip printing it.

this to fail, make sure to report the name of the class of the
expected instance and of the actual instance.

fill in), and (some) descriptor types.

Also added a new test case for testing repr truncation fixes.

Closes patch #454743.

    PyErr_Format() these new C API methods can be used instead of
    sprintf()'s into hardcoded char* buffers.  This allows us to fix
    many situation where long package, module, or class names get
    truncated in reprs.

    PyString_FromFormat() is the varargs variety.
    PyString_FromFormatV() is the va_list variety

    Original PyErr_Format() code was modified to allow %p and %ld
    expansions.

    Many reprs were converted to this, checkins coming soo.  Not
    changed: complex_repr(), float_repr(), float_print(), float_str(),
    int_repr().  There may be other candidates not yet converted.

Typical use to call a cooperative superclass method:

recorded in the getset object?  That makes the protocol more work, but
may give us better error messages.)

with one argument.  Should I add a 3rd function, 'del', instead?

This started with a nonsensical error msg:

>>> x = -1.
>>> import sys
>>> x**(-sys.maxint-1L)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: negative number cannot be raised to a fractional power

The special-casing in float_pow was simply wrong in this case (there's
not even anything peculiar about these inputs), and I don't see any point
to it in *any* case:  a decent libm pow should have worst-case error under
1 ULP, so in particular should deliver the exact result whenever the exact
result is representable (else its error is at least 1 ULP).  Thus our
special fiddling for integral values "shouldn't" buy anything in accuracy,
and, to the contrary, repeated multiplication is less accurate than a
decent pow when the true result isn't exactly representable.  So just
letting pow() do its job here (we may not be able to trust libm x-platform
in exceptional cases, but these are normal cases).

This implements the 'getset' class from test_binop.py.
