Thanks! I'll fix both the C and Python versions to raise a ValueError when __all__ isn't a list. I'll make the change in my atpublic PyPI project (version 0.3) and will update the CPython patch if and when it gets accepted. I think for now at least I won't autoconvert it to a list. Happy to change that if e.g. Guido prefers. :) >>Well, consenting adults and all.
