The following failure messages gets dumped out of

The same BitTorrent version works just fine under 2.3.5.

addinfourldecompress is a BitTorrent object which inherits
from Python's addinfourl in urllib.py.

The following comment was found in a patch that attempted to
work around the issue:

# As of Python 2.4 http_open response also has 'code' and 'msg'
# members, and HTTPErrorProcessor breaks if they don't exist.

This problem has been cited in a couple of different
contexts.  I saw it in a bug report for bittornado on
FreeBSD.  I also saw it in a RedHat list concerning breakage
in the yum utility.

Annoyingly, nobody seems to have filed it upstream with the
Python folks.

Does this happen if the exact same files are run in 2.3?  I can't find 
addinfourldecompress in Python; is it a BitTorrent class?
