| A number of functions and methods previously produced a DeprecationWarning |
| when passed a float argument where an integer was expected. These functions |
| and methods now raise TypeError instead. The majority of the effects of |
| this change are in the extension modules, but some core functions and |
| methods are affected: notably the 'chr', 'range' and 'xrange' builtins, and |
| many unicode/str methods. |
