[issue7793] regrtest fails with "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded" in some cases

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

The module is probably reloaded, which causes code like:
    _ord = ord
    def ord(c):
        ... _ord(c) ...
to form a recursion loop.
Attached patch removes the need for a special ord().

All this should be simply removed in py3k branch: ord() and chr() do the right thing even on narrow unicode builds.
