Actually, it looks like it works with a modern version of Python (I just
checked with the 2.6 install on my home Windows machine).

My work environment is stuck on 2.4, which is comparatively ancient
these days - it would appear someone fixed this particular gripe while I
wasn't looking :)

I guess that means we can scratch that as an example use case then...

Cheers,
Nick.
