Thanks for creating the patch.

Note that it is unlikely that Python 2.4.6 will fix this problem, since it was actually a feature in Python 2.0-2.4 that allowed to easily add user-written codec packages to Python.

Due to the possible security implications, we decided to remove this feature again in Python 2.5 and instead point programmers to register their own codec search functions.
