Yes. I'm not questioning the wisdom of the implementation,
just the documentation of it.

Martin,
If we install over an existing version of Python 2.6.5, will our PTH
files and site-packages be preserved?
Or do we need to back out our 3rd party packages, install Python 2.6.5
and then manually restore our 3rd party packages?
Thank you,
Malcolm

I'd like to encode a string in base64, but I found a inconsistent of
two methods:

'aaa'.encode('base64')
has a '\n' at the end, but the other method doesn't.
