the finally clause. An exception here could happen when a daemon
thread exits after the threading module has already been trashed by
the import finalization, and there's not much of a point in trying to
insist doing the cleanup in that stage.
This should fix SF bug ##497111: active_limbo_lock error at program
exit.

deepcopy(), _reconstruct(): pass the memo to the other function, so

Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password. This avoids
privacy violations.
doesn't have the _HEAPTYPE flag set, e.g. for time.struct_time and
posix.stat_result.
This fixes the immediate symptoms of SF bug #496873 (cPickle /
time.struct_time loop), replacing the infinite loop with an exception.
Make dumbdbm merely "dumb", rather than "terminally broken". Without this
patch, it's almost impossible to use dumbdbm _without_ causing horrible
datalossage. With this patch, dumbdbm passes my own horrible torture test,
as well as the roundup test suite.
dumbdbm really could do with a smidgin of a rewrite or two, but that's not
suitable for the release21-maint branch.
rfc822.AddressList incorrectly handles empty address.
"<>" is converted to None and should be "".
AddressList.__str__() fails on None.
I got an email with such an address and my program
failed processing it.
Example:
>>> import rfc822
>>> rfc822.AddressList("<>").addresslist
[('', None)]
>>> str(rfc822.AddressList("<>"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/rfc822.py", line 753, in __str__
return ", ".join(map(dump_address_pair,
self.addresslist))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, None found

initialize adlist to "".]
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose class is
a subclass of 'type', should be pickled the same as new-style classes
(objects whose class is 'type'). This can't be done through a
dispatch table entry, and the __reduce__ trick doesn't work for these,
since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for instances of the class
(inherited from 'object'). So check explicitly using issubclass().
This way, when a socket object is deleted after the socket module has
already been zapped by module shutdown, we don't get annoying warnings
about exceptions in __del__ methods.
crashes.
If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.
paren. This was there to worm around a stupid XEmacs bug, but since I
can't tickle the bug in newer XEmacsen (just tried w/21.4.5) it's
possible the problem has been fixed. We shouldn't have to be working
around editor bugs anyway.
If it crops up again, I'll report it (again) to the XEmacs crowd.
