Make event triggering robust to (un)registration....
Make event triggering robust to (un)registration. Event callbacks can register or unregister new callbacks for the same event while executing, and the previous triggering implementation allowed for event callbacks to be inadvertently skipped. The fix is to make a copy of the list of callbacks before executing any of them. With this change, the resulting semantics are simple: any callbacks registered before triggering are executed, and any new callbacks registered are only visible at the next triggering of the event. Note that this could potentially break existing callers who expected newly-appended callbacks were immediately executed. Fixes #9447. Originally based on a patch by @marksandler2.

"""Minimal script to reproduce our nasty reference counting bug.
The problem is related to https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/141
The original fix for that appeared to work, but John D. Hunter found a
matplotlib example which, when run twice in a row, would break. The problem
were references held by open figures to internals of Tkinter.
This code reproduces the problem that John saw, without matplotlib.
This script is meant to be called by other parts of the test suite that call it
via %run as if it were executed interactively by the user. As of 2011-05-29,
test_run.py calls it.
