#6570: indexing a matrix with a non-integer should return an IndexError, not a
TypeError

Comment(by rbeezer):
The Python Docs at
http://docs.python.org/library/exceptions.html
say:
{{{IndexError}}}[[BR]]
Raised when a sequence subscript is out of range. (Slice indices are
silently truncated to fall in the allowed range; if an index is not a
plain integer, {{{TypeError}}} is raised.)
This seems to be the way these are both being used in the locations
referenced. So it would appear that current use is consistent with the
Python standards?
