Summary: return val in __init__ doesn't raise TypeError in new-style

Initial Comment:
returning a value (other than None) from __init__ is
supposed to raise TypeError. This only works for
old-style classes.

This has been fixed for 2.4.1 where a RuntimeWarning is
raised and in 2.5.0a where a TypeError is raised.

This should be modified to report eventual failure and added
to the test library.

class LegalConstructor1(object):

    def __init__(self):
        return

class LegalConstructor2(object):

    def __init__(self):
        return None

class IlegalConstructor(object):

    def __init__(self):
        return "x"

class LegalConstructorOld1:

    def __init__(self):
        return

class LegalConstructorOld2:

    def __init__(self):
        return None

class IlegalConstructorOld:

    def __init__(self):
        return "x"

a = LegalConstructor1()
print a

b = LegalConstructor2()
print b

x = LegalConstructorOld1()
print a

y = LegalConstructorOld2()
print b

# !!! This should raise TypeError
c = IlegalConstructor()
print c

z = IlegalConstructorOld()
print z
