Message 57553 - Python tracker

Looks good (after skimming). Some stylistic nits:

- Please fold lines >= 80 chars.

- Please strip trailing whitespace (for Python code, you won't be
allowed to submit with it present).

- You can fold long imports without using the dreaded backslash now, e.g.
  from _ssl import (SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN,
                    SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ, ...)

Then just check it in.  (We'll be able to do the dup()'ing differently
soon, but I'd just as soon see your patch go in first.)
