test_array.py from CPython 2.3 includes a test case that expects array.array('xx') to throw a TypeError (the parameter should be a single char). Jython 2.2rc3 throws a ValueError in this case instead. Attached is a one-line patch that fixes this specific case.

This should really throw a TypeError indicating the type of the param instead of hardcoding it to str. e.g.: >>> array.array(None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: array() argument 1 must be char, not None
