I didn't mean to create a tempest in a teapot. I was away from comp.lang.python, python-bugs, and python-dev for a few years. In particular, I didn't ever see the aforementioned thread from Feb 2012. Had I known of that thread I would have worded the sentence which shall not be repeated differently. My apologies... Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
