I'm going out on a lark and assume that you had expected me to look at
it.  Unfortunately I haven't had the time yet -- I was on a 10-day
trip, and now I'm trying to get Python 1.6a1 pushed out of the door
within a few hours.  I'll try to have a look at it next week, but the
post-alpha-release frenzy might get in the way at first.

If you're looking for a rule you violated, I would say that your post
didn't start with a clear description of: (1) what is the problem; (2)
why is that problem important to you; (3) what is your approach to
solving the problem.  If you could post that separately, it would be
much appreciated.
