One, I understand what's behind it in the sense that the behavior I was describing goes against the semantic fundamentals of python, and should therefore be impossible. Two, Fredrik is no doubt a sweetheart and he showed it by continuing to put his efforts toward helping me despite my criticism of him. I can't thank him enough.

The code was/is definitely identical. In any event, I don't really care. It's working properly now, and if I have similarly weird problems in future, I'll deal with them at that time. I don't know what was up, but I understand it doesn't make sense from any visible standpoint of logic. Thank you for your efforts Diez... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
