Extension modules
-----------------
- the socket module has a new exception, socket.timeout, to allow
timeouts to be handled separately from other socket errors.
- SF bug 751276: cPickle has fixed to propagate exceptions raised in
user code. In earlier versions, cPickle caught and ignored any
exception when it performed operations that it expected to raise
specific exceptions like AttributeError.
- cPickle Pickler and Unpickler objects now participate in garbage
collection.
- mimetools.choose_boundary() could return duplicate strings at times,
especially likely on Windows. The strings returned are now guaranteed
unique within a single program run.
