unnecessary redirection limit code which is already in FancyURLopener.

The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.

I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.

I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.

keybindings

(as it is often not on Windows). The code was always designed so that it
would raise an IOError if there was no .netrc. But if there was no $HOME
it would return a KeyError which would be somewhat unexpected for code
that didn't know the algorithm it used to find .netrc. The particular
code that triggered this problem for me was ftpmirror.py which handled
the IOError gracefully, but not the KeyError.

thought was just a bug report, so didn't notice - doh!).  This handles
slicing, which v 1.23 didn't.

Skip test_longexp for MacPython on Mac OS X. It triggers a pathological realloc slowdown. Some tests with shorter expressions lead me to the conclusion that it will eventually finish, but it may take a few weeks:-)

If no webbrowsers were found _tryorder would be empty, cmd would never be set and the "del cmd" would fail. Fixed.

This was pretty dense of me.  Sorry.

particular, negative indexes work and they are limited by the actual length
