If I understand correctly, it is possible to adjust BSD so that this 
will work -- as a user I would much rather be informed of that, even as 
  just a caution, than to have Python not have the functionality even 
after I had fixed the OS problems.

Mind you, I have no idea how hard it would be to make this happen in the 
module in an intelligent way.
