NameError: global name 'SlowParser' is not defined


No definition of SlowParser in client.py:

/src/py3k/Lib/xmlrpc% grep -n SlowParser client.py
116:  SlowParser     Slow but safe standard parser (based on xmllib)
975:            parser = SlowParser(target)

Running the same code today passes, despite the fact I'm still running 
the same svn version. Bizarre. 

However the core reported issue - SlowParser being undefined in the 
module, remains.

I'm unable to reproduce the bug on py3k nor python3.1. Reopen the issue if the bug reappears.
