When running cPickle in restricted mode, the module tries to import
copyreg which does not appear to exist anywhere.  The problem is in
cPickle.c 

 2980 	if (PyEval_GetRestricted()) {
 2981 		/* Restricted execution, get private tables */
 2982 		PyObject *m = PyImport_Import(copyreg_str);
 2983 
 2984 		if (m == NULL)
 2985 			goto err;
 2986 		self->dispatch_table = PyObject_GetAttr(m, dispatch_table_str);
 2987 		Py_DECREF(m);
 2988 		if (self->dispatch_table == NULL)
 2989 			goto err;
 2990 	}
 2991 	else {
 2992 		self->dispatch_table = dispatch_table;
 2993 		Py_INCREF(dispatch_table);
 2994 	}

copyreg_str should probably be copy_reg_str

Here is a test+patch.
This does not apply to py3k: restricted mode does not exist there.

Probably the whole of r63042 should be undone.

But, that change was undone already, no? In fact, it is you, Georg, that
reverted my mess in r63493. ;-)

Now I'm confused. So the only thing left to do is the patch attached here?
msg95587 - (view) Author: Alexandre Vassalotti (alexandre.vassalotti) * (Python committer) Date: 2009-11-21 18:02
Yes. But, I would remove the ugly copy_reg_str variable from cPickle as
the patch.

Patch looks ok to me, do you want to apply it?

Thanks you!

Committed in r76499 and backported to 2.6 in r76500.
