I notice that there is a "newjelly.py" in twisted.spread, which appears to
have changed the code relavent to the error I was getting.  However, I
couldn't easily tell from the commit email whether this was finished, or how
one would use it...

Am I correct in guessing newjelly.py is intended to be renamed to jelly.py,
but isn't ready yet?

PS  I've got a kludge to the 1.03 jelly.py and flavors.py that avoids the
"storing a _Derefence into a __dict__" error I was getting.  If anyone's
interested I can post it, although there would be little point if newjelly.py
will be ready soon.
