Good for Leo. I'm not being sarcastic. But that doesn't just happen, it
happens because Leo's developers don't insist on using mutually
incompatible CPython and IronPython features or modules, but instead
worked really hard to *make* Leo work with both. They didn't just expect
IronPython code to work unchanged with CPython (or vice versa).
