I'm not sure why I decided against this approach in the first place.  This
does work (at least with my test), so it's what I'll do.  I probably wasn't
confident that it would clean itself up properly, but that's probably rather
un-pythonic and would not have made it into the stdlib if that was the case.

Thanks!
