Subject: In response to one particular complaint on edu-sig, change some error
X-Git-Tag: v1.6a1~439
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb4574e32055b4f336415dcf8dad0f01fc14b691;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

In response to one particular complaint on edu-sig, change some error
messages from "OverflowError: integer pow()" to "OverflowError:
integer exponentiation".  (Not that this takes care of the complaint
in general that the error messages could be greatly improved. :-)
