Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdr...@acm.org> added the comment:

This change breaks existing uses of Python 2.6.4.

The mechanize library frequently re-initializes the data in the request
without re-using the request.  Applications (including tests) that use
mechanize now break with this TypeError.

The proper response to this issue for Python 2.6 is to make no code
changes (though a documentation enhancement may be in order).

This change should be reverted from all branches.

Python 2.6.5 should be blocked until this is done.
