Hi Ken, 

Thanks for your comment.

Unfortunately at the time I can not upgrade to 3.8 to run this test. My whole system depends on 3.7 and some peculiarities of 3.8 need to be dealt with.

It would be great if someone with OSX and 3.8 could test this out, otherwise I will dig into this later creating a new environment.
