I have found an existing report for this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4037 The original poster's suggested fix was on the right track, but not complete. I've added a patch which works according to my tests. Since this report is currently unassigned, is there a protocol for raising its profile and having somebody check my patch for inclusion? Should I just send an email to python-dev? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
