Issue while running pybeanstalk within processing pools

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While running pybeanstalk within python processing pools 
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/processing), I get an exception 
traceback like this.

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 460, in 
__bootstrap

    *getattr(protohandler, 'process_%s' % attr)(*args, **kw))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'process___getnewargs__'

Here's a patch to fix this behavior.

I've forked the pybeanstalk repo on github and added this and another trivial 
patch for a minor issue. ( http://github.com/woadwarrior/pybeanstalk/ )
