Previously, copying a super object returned a copy of the instance
invoking super(). Pickling a super object could pickle the instance
invoking super() or fail, depending on its type and protocol.
Now deep copying returns a new super object and pickling pickles the super
object. Shallow copying returns the same super object.
It creates a modified copy of an object by calling the object's
__replace__() method.
It is a generalization of dataclasses.replace(), named tuple's _replace()
method and replace() methods in various classes, and supports all these
stdlib classes.
copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() now always raise a TypeError if
__reduce__() returns a tuple with length 6 instead of silently ignore
the 6th item or produce incorrect result.
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Copying property objects results in a TypeError. Steps to reproduce:
```
>>> import copy
>>> obj = property()
>>> copy.copy(obj)
````
This affects both shallow and deep copying.
My idea for a fix is to add property objects to the list of "atomic" objects in the copy module.
These already include types like functions and type objects.
I also added property objects to the unit tests test_copy_atomic and test_deepcopy_atomic. This is my first PR, and it's highly likely I've made some mistake, so please be kind :)

* When doing getattr lookups with a default of "None", it now
uses an "is" comparison against None which is more correct
* Removed outdated code

Added module stub for copy_reg renaming in 3.0.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid

Try to get this test to be more stable:
* disable gc during the test run because we are spawning objects and there
was an exception when calling Popen.__del__
* Always set an alarm handler so the process doesn't exit if the test fails
(should probably add assertions on the value of hndl_called in more places)
* Using a negative time causes Linux to treat it as zero, so disable that test.

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.

So long xrange. range() now supports values that are outside

and .keys(), .items(), .values() return dict views.
The dict views aren't fully functional yet; in particular, they can't
be compared to sets yet. but they are useful as "iterator wells".
There are still 27 failing unit tests; I expect that many of these
have fairly trivial fixes, but there are so many, I could use help.
There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.
(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
