Summary: xmlrpclib and backward compatibility

Initial Comment:
This bug is related to patch #531629 "Add multicall 
support to xmlrpclib"
http://www.python.org/sf/531629

His applied patch includes 'yield' statement.
Is this OK?
I think xmlrpclib.py needs to keep compatible with 
older Python.

On the top of xmlrpclib.py there is a note:
# this version is designed to work with Python 1.5.2 
or newer.

I attached a patch to avoid 'yield' but this is a quick 
fix.
I'm not sure if this is the right approach.
There should be a better solution.

I've also changed the coding style of the previous 
change to be consistent with other parts of this 
script.

Closed as a duplicate of #1009803. The patch attached really
doesn't work, as it raises the exceptions out of order. I'm
working on a proper patch to restore 2.1 compatbility.

Assigning to Fredrik, as he is listed as the maintainer in
PEP 291. My proposal would be to drop xmlrpclib from PEP
291, and closing this report as "Won't fix". I don't see the
need for this backwards compatibility.

Fredrik, if you consider compatibility with 1.5.2 still
desirable, please indicate so, and assign it back to me so I
can fix the new feature.
