Remove unused variable and import

confident that the old code was utterly broken -- the worse that can
happen is that the new code is still broken.)

(This command seems to be essentially untested; should fix that...)

  Cater to that.

  was no slouch before; now it screams.
+ Improve msg when giving up on a goofy future statement.

Otherwise printlist(surprise) will fail with a TypeError, because map
is called with an argument that doesn't support iteration.

The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.

Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.

Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2().  (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)

- Remove various 'global' directives and move some global definitions
  inside the test functions that use them -- we have nested scopes so
  the old hacks using globals are no longer needed.

XXX There are still some loose ends: repr(), str(), hash() and
comparisons don't inherit a default implementation from object.  This
must be resolved similarly to the way it's resolved for classic
instances.

into indented lines each of which probably fits on a typical screen line).

XXX This is not sufficient: if a dynamic class has no __repr__ method
(for instance), but later one is added, that doesn't add a tp_repr
slot, so repr() doesn't call the __repr__ method.  To make this work,
I'll have to add default implementations of several slots to 'object'.

XXX Also, dynamic types currently only inherit slots from their
dominant base.

broken).  Also fix an invalid reference to C (should be S).

little bit using a dictionary to avoid more code duplication as
more platforms are supported.

Revised version of Fred's patch, including support for ~ operator.

If the unary +, -, or ~ operator is applied to a constant, don't
generate a UNARY_xxx opcode. Just store the approriate value as a
constant.  If the value is negative, extend the string containing the
constant and insert a negative in the 0th position.

For ~, compute the inverse of int and longs and use them directly, but
be prepared to generate code for all other possibilities (invalid
numbers, floats, complex).
