! - Function objects now have an __module__ attribute that is bound to
    the name of the module in which the function was defined.  This
!   attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the 
!   behavior of whichmodule slightly.  In Python 2.2 whichmodule()
!   returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the
!   top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions).  Now
!   whichmodule() will return the proper module name.
