My question was not a "development with Python" question. However, I posted to python-list as you said. Only one person responded to a request to test the provided code (~10 lines) which demonstrates a problem with eval()--he confirmed my observations. As the problem _does exist_ for 2.3.5 which is the last 2.3 version still available at python.org, I would suggest people avoid using it if they do eval()s. Unfortunately I, myself, cannot check into it more.
