`pickle.whichmodule` performs an iteration over `sys.modules` and tries to perform `getattr` calls on those modules. Unfortunately some modules such as those from the `six.moves` dynamic module can trigger imports when calling `getattr` on them, hence mutating the `sys.modules` dict and causing a `RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration`. This would also render `pickle.whichmodule` more thread-safe and cause concurrent thread perform new module imports and `whichmodule` calls. The attach patch protect the iterator by copying the dict items into a fixed list. I could write a tests involving dynamic module definitions as done in `six.moves` but it sounds very complicated for such a trivial fix. |

Sounds fine, but you should at least add a comment explaining the list() call. |
