Hmmm...  Works for me in 2.1.1:

    % python
    Python 2.1.1 (#11, Aug 30 2001, 10:35:23) 
    [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)] on linux2
    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import exceptions
    >>> exceptions.AttributeError 
    <class exceptions.AttributeError at 0x80f217c>
    >>> AttributeError 
    <class exceptions.AttributeError at 0x80f217c>

I checked the 2.1.1 code.  It doesn't have a call to
_PyImport_FixupExtension after the init_exceptions call.
