OK, OK, my previous statement was to categorical. I don't know where the
problem has come from. 

I've found the problem several weeks ago and it was tested on two
computers. (Because of it I had to downgrade py to 2.1.1 on every station I
worked on.)
Unfortunately a system on both of them has been completely 'reorganized',
so now I cannot get the configuration from the time the problems had been faced.

Additionally, on Friday I downloaded py 212 again to verify my thesis and
to give you some snapshots. But now, (un!)fortunately, it works quite well.
So, until I found the 'proper' configuration I may be treated here as someone
who met the UFO.
