Oh awesome - thanks - that's a neat module. Yeah, basically keywords are 
part of the language but not punctuation - kind of like how you had to 
do: print 'foo' in 2.x - part of the grammar of the language. Dunno why 
i muffed that.. 'object's a class anyhow so it couldn't be a keyword 
(inherited with its methods etc) - thanks for catching that and sorry 
for the delay.. saw that today.
