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.
