Enhance cython defintion of the Numpy dtype

improve robustness of xmlrunner in face of custom test error handling mechanisms in Python regression test suite

Optimize reversed(range(...)), with non-constant values.

Also extend glob to support bash {a,b,c} notation (needed for Cythonize script).

must agree with that created in the profile frame.  Unfortunately, this
makes it difficult to profile anything but 'def' functions.

Condition is no longer valid since commit fa3db367
