+- Issue #8573: asyncore _strerror() function might throw ValueError.

+  error messages when accessing undefined class attributes because of the cheap 
+  inheritance with the underlying socket object.

 - Issue #7472: Fixed typo in email.encoders module; messages using ISO-2022
   character sets will now consistently use a Content-Transfer-Encoding of
