I don't have the time to judge this code myself, but hope that others
in this group do.

Are you sure it's a good thing to add LGPL'ed code to the Python
standard library though?  AFAIK it is still more restrictive than the
old CWI license and probably also more restrictive than the new CNRI
license; so it could come under scrutiny and prevent closed,
proprietary software development using Python...
