At the time I originally posted that, I was baffled as to what was going
on and was simply feeding you suggestions for how to go about debugging
the problem logically.
However, I have since figured out exactly what's going on. I'm going to
do you a favor and NOT tell you what I've figured out (because you won't
learn anything that way), but I will give you a hint. The hint is that
if you run the two lines of code I suggested above, the answer should be
obvious.
And, once you do that, please report your findings back to us, because
it's a fun little quirk of Python and one that I suspect has tripped up
more than a few people over time. In fact, I seem to recall being
mystified by this myself once.
