Heavy sigh.  Thus why I felt I "had read about this".  I guess this
bit of knowledge did not stick very well!

Studying Python off and on, then taking days, weeks or even months off
before the next bit of studying is not an effective way to retain
knowledge.  But that's my life currently.

Thanks, Eryk.
