I found it and uploaded it here:
http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/new-style-exception-hacking.diff
The change to type_str was the sort of unexpected change I was talking
about.
TBH, I'm not sure it's really worth working from my patch, a more
sensible course would be to just do the work again, but paying a bit
more attention to getting a maintainable result.
Questions:
a) Is Exception to be new-style?
b) Somewhat but not entirely independently, would demanding that all
new-style exceptions inherit from Exception be reasonable?
Cheers,
mwh
