I might, if it weren't for the redundant "if" and the horribly buggy
interference between separate instances -- which is why I wrote it,
almost six years ago and without the bugs, as
<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/Recipe/52308> .

Not much later, in the printed Cookbook, I also gave some other good
ways and explained (as I did in the current thread) why confusing
attributes and items, as proposed in most of this thread, is really a
bad idea.
