Rev 2.66 of funcobject.c made func.__name__ writable for the first
time. That's great, but the patch also introduced what I'm pretty
sure was an unintended incompatibility: after 2.66, func.__name__ was
no longer *readable* in restricted execution mode. I can't think of a
good reason to restrict reading func.__name__, and it looks like this
part of the change was an accident. So, unless someone objects soon,
I intend to restore that func.__name__ is readable regardless of
execution mode (but will continue to be unwritable in restricted
execution mode).
Objections?
Tres Seaver filed a bug report (some Zope tests fail under 2.4 because of this):
