You ripped a bunch of code from the standard library without
understanding what it does, and now it doesn't work. The problem is
more with your methodology than your code.

Why are you doing this? Why not simply use what's there?

If you REALLY need to make source-level changes, make *changes*, don't
try to lift small parts out. Also, you will need to spend some hours
getting to know the code that you're mutating.

Is there an alternative newsgroup for
lazy-python-users-who-dont-want-to-do-the-work at groups.google.com ?
