Handling incompatibilities with App Store review processes

@ncoghlan

it does make me wonder if it would be worth changing urllib to read the initial setup of its module level attributes from a JSON config file bundled with the standard library rather than hardcoding its knowledge of all the relevant schemes.

I can see how that would work; but it strikes me as a bit of overkill for an edge case that would be just as easy to handle with obfuscation or distribution-level patching. Are there any other analogs of this approach in the existing codebase? I can’t think of any.
