In order for the lookup to work, you have to replace hyphens with underscores; see the top of aliases.py.
Good catch! Then my "fix" to aliases.py was also wrong. Would it make sense to change the lookup function to convert *all* punctuation to underscores before doing the lookup? (Then this one would actually have worked...) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
