Depends what you're copying and pasting to.  In PythonWin, you have to 
have the "... ", so I include it.

If you have an editor with block-select, you should just be able to 
select the appropriate section (ignoring the first four characters). 
TextPad is one such editor (on Windows), but I'm sure there are many 
others and hopefully if you're on Unix someone here can let you know 
what works there.
