[issue8797] urllib2 basicauth broken in 2.6.5: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

+1 for putting retry control on the password manager.  Probably the default should be set to 1.  If I understand correctly, it is the password manager that would be prompting the user for a new password, if someone chose to implement such a password manager.
