| | | | | | | | | | | | round included: * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0). * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version upgrade. * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.
* Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (justJeffrey Yasskin2008-01-032-5/+6

The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.
