[Zodb-checkins] SVN: ZODB/branches/3.4/src/ZEO/zrpc/connection.py Port from 2.7 branch.

[Tim Peters]

Log message for revision 38747:
  Port from 2.7 branch.
  
  Collector 1900.
  
  send_reply(), return_error():  Stop trying to catch an exception that doesn't
  exist, when marshal.encode() raises an exception.  Jeremy simplified the
  marshal.encode() half of this about 3 years ago, but apparently forgot to
  change ZEO/zrpc/connection.py to match.
  

Changed:
  U   ZODB/branches/3.4/src/ZEO/zrpc/connection.py
