Did you re-run the test suite after forward-porting to 3.3? I'm consistently getting failures:

$ ./python -m test test_urllib2 [1/1] test_urllib2


File "/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/Lib/test/test_urllib2.py", line 1457, in test.test_urllib2.test_HTTPError_interface Failed example: err = urllib.error.HTTPError(msg='something bad happened', url=None, code=None, hdrs=None, fp=None) Exception raised: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/Lib/doctest.py", line 1253, in __run compileflags, 1), test.globs) File "<doctest test.test_urllib2.test_HTTPError_interface[0]>", line 1, in err = urllib.error.HTTPError(msg='something bad happened', url=None, code=None, hdrs=None, fp=None) TypeError: HTTPError does not take keyword arguments

1 items had failures: 3 of 3 in test.test_urllib2.test_HTTPError_interface Test Failed 3 failures. test test_urllib2 failed -- 3 of 65 doctests failed 1 test failed: test_urllib2 [142313 refs]

Now, this failure is quite possibly due to a flaw in the PEP 3151 implementation (see http://bugs.python.org/issue12555), but picking up this kind of thing is the reason we say to always run the tests before committing, even for a simple merge.

Cheers, Nick.
