Library
+
+ - Some fixes in the copy module: when an object is copied through its
+ __reduce__ method, there was no check for a __setstate__ method on
+ the result [SF patch 565085]; deepcopy should treat instances of
+ custom metaclasses the same way it treats instances of type 'type'
+ [SF patch 560794].
