Comment (by mtredinnick):
Looks like there's not really a lot we can do about this. Arranging to not
do anything in `__len__` that might cause an exception is something I
tried to do months ago for other reasons and the performance effects were
terrible. So penalising python 2.4 and 2.5 for what is primarily a
diagnostic message in this case isn't really worth it. Django works
correctly if you don't make an error in Python 2.3 and I can live with
some erroneous cases perform differently than they do in 2.4 and 2.5.
I've adjusted the test suite to not fail on those tests in 2.3, but that's
as far as I'm going to go here. Not entirely satisfying, but we're
fighting Python bugs and the way `list()` and friends are implemented
internally in Python.
