Avoid adding Python wrappers around the underlying C profiler if possible;
the extra layer of calls can lead to confusion in interpreting the logs.

Apply the second version of SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/536241
Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.
This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)
Complex numbers implement divmod() and //, neither of which makes one
lick of sense. Unfortunately this is documented, so I'm adding a
deprecation warning now, so we can delete this silliness, oh, around

Provisional fix for writefile() [SF bug # 541730].
The problem was that an exception can occur in the text.get() call or
in the write() call, when the text buffer contains non-ASCII
characters. This causes the previous contents of the file to be lost.
The provisional fix is to call str(self.text.get(...)) *before*
opening the file, so that if the exception occurs, we never open the
file.
Two orthogonal better solutions have to wait for policy decisions:
1. We could try to encode the data as Latin-1 or as UTF-8; but that
would require IDLE to grow a notion of file encoding which requires
more thought.
2. We could make backups before overwriting a file. This requires
more thought because it needs to be fast and cross-platform and
configurable.

but the output argument was omitted. This caused all tests to fail,
because the expected output was passed as the initial argument to the
method call. But because of the way the test works (it compares the
results for a regular string to the results for a UserString instance
with the same value, and it's OK if both raise the same exception) the
test never failed!
I've fixed this, and also cleaned up a few warts in the verbose
output. Finally, I've made it possible to run the test stand-alone in
verbose mode by passing -v as a command line argument.
Now, the test will report failure related to zfill. That's not my
fault, that's a legitimate problem: the string_tests.py file contains
a test for the zfill() method (just added) but this method is not
implemented. The responsible party will surely fix this soon now.
