Both fail as you describe in 2.7, but in 3.4/3.5ish (my 'python3' is a
bit of a mess, but it's something between those two I think), both
work as per the OP's description. You both need to be clearer about
version numbers, I think :) The OP did have a link to docs with 3.4 in
the name, although that isn't proof necessarily.
