Summary: array.array borks on deepcopy

Initial Comment:
Hi,
I think there is a bug arraymodule.c this line:

	{"__deepcopy__",(PyCFunction)array_copy,	METH_NOARGS,
	 copy_doc},

should probably have METH_O instead of METH_NOARGS
there, since according to docs and the prototype of the
array_copy() function there is one parameter.

Not unless you want another release candidate. copy.deepcopy
has never worked on array instances, so it's not a
release-preventing bug (but each bugfix may *add* a
release-preventing bug by accident :)

Should this be fixed in the release candidate?

Thanks! Fixed in the trunk (which is 2.6-to-be) revision
51565, and it will also be fixed for Python 2.4.4 and 2.5.1.
It's unfortunately just a bit too late for 2.5.0.
