CRITICAL PATCH!
...
We occasionally received reports from people getting "invalid tstate"
crashes (this is a fatal error in PyThreadState_Delete()). Finally
several people were able to reproduce it reliably and Tim Peters
discovered that there is a race condition when multiple threads are
calling this function without holding the global interpreter lock (the
function may be called without holding that).
Solved the race condition by adding a lock around the mutating uses of
interp->tstate_head. Tim and Jonathan Giddy have run tests that make
it likely that this fixes the crashes -- although Tim hasn't heard
from the person who reported the original problem.

Patch suggested (and partially provided) by Lars Damerow: instead of

always lowercasing the option name, call a method optionxform() which

variables so they can also be overridden.

Patch by Jim Fulton (code style tweaked a bit) to support
...
ExtensionClasses in isinstance() and issubclass().
- abstract instance and class protocols are used *only* in those
cases that would generate errors before the patch. That is, there's
no penalty for the normal case.
- instance protocol: an object smells like an instance if it
has a __class__ attribute that smells like a class.
- class protocol: an object smells like a class if it has a
__bases__ attribute that is a tuple with elements that
smell like classes (although not all elements may actually get
sniffed ;).

Problem: rfc822.py in 1.5.2 final loses the quotes around
quoted local-part names.
The fix is to preserve the quotes around a local-part
name in an address.
Test:
import rfc822
a = rfc822.AddrlistClass('(Comment stuff) "Quoted
name"@somewhere.com')
a.getaddrlist()
The correct result is:
[('Comment stuff', '"Quoted name"@somewhere.com')]
