[pypy-issue] [issue886] unicode.translate behavior differs from CPython

[Andrew Mahone]

New submission from Andrew Mahone <andrew.mahone at gmail.com>:

CPython's unicode.translate will actually work with lists, tuples, and strings
as well as dicts, retaining the advertised behavior with regard to elements not
in the translation mapping. On pypy, if an exception other than KeyError is
raised on lookup, translate raises an exception, rather than leaving the
character unchanged. This patch adds a test for the CPython behavior, and fixes
it by treating IndexError on lookup identically to KeyError.
