- Subject: [[inferior events] partial cleanup for copy_py_list
This fixes some issues in copy_py_list, but not all.
The patch changes it to check PyList_Append.
I think it should probably use an iterator to go through the list.
Otherwise it is susceptible to a bug where another thread changes the
list while we are iterating over it.
Still, ok to push in this form?
