Hi Tom,

You may want to ask your question on the Python-Tutor mailing list
instead; db-sig is more focused on relational database issues.

Python-tutor is a mailing list dedicated to help people learn more about
programming.  If you're interested, you can find out more information
about Tutor here:

I hope this helps!
