[issue1533] Bug in range() function for large values

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I am attaching a py3k patch that adds new tests.  Since there are no end user visible changes, I don't believe a Misc/NEWS entry is needed.  A commit message may read:

Issue #1533: Tests only. Added tests for consistency in range function argument processing. 

Note that the first chunk:

-        # Reject floats when it would require PyLongs to represent.
-        # (smaller floats still accepted, but deprecated)
+        # Reject floats.
+        self.assertRaises(TypeError, range, 1., 1., 1.)

is applicable to the trunk as well.
