To Troll or Not To Troll (aka: "as" keyword woes)

[Michael Mabin]

Warren, weren't you aware that Python.org is now a church.  So you can never
live up to the standards of the Pythonista high priests.  You can only ask a
question or submit your comment then cower, hoping the pythonista high
priests don't beat you with clubs for heresy.

;)
