Python-list is not Stackoverflow.  It is a text mailing list, not a web 
page.  Here, the backticks are not markup; they are just distracting 
noise.  Don't do this!

Ditto.  Here, the initial 4 space indents are not markup.  They just 
makes it impossible to cut, paste, and run your code without extra work.
