[Python-Dev] Backport of bytearray type and io module

Hello! I've successfully back ported the bytearray type and the io module from 3.0 to 2.6. The code is available in the branch trunk-bytearray [1]. I'm down to four failing byte tests and one failing io test. The failing byte tests are all related to pickling and subclassing. I like to get the remaining tests fixed for the upcoming release in a week. Please checkout the branch and help me figure out the remaining issues.
