Not related to your code at all...  You probably don't want to release the code under the PSF license.  There are various boring reasons that I won't bother to go into (the topic has been discussed on various lists, I'm sure you can find a thread if you want).  Consider the MIT license, instead.  It's much simpler and /probably/ means what you hoped the PSF license meant.
