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.
