Ah, thanks! I didn't know that worked. (The missing piece was
that I wasn't aware that relative comparisons worked on
tuples. I even looked in the library reference manual under
"sequence types")

No, that's not what I am proposing :) Sorry if my suggestion was
badly worded.

It really has to do more, I think, with how to manage interdependencies
within a large python app, consisting of dozens of source files. Since that's
not a Py3K question, let's agree to discuss that elsewhere...
