Maybe it would have been caught earlier with the change in the PEP, but when using it as a motivating example you have to show the code containing the bug, not just a demonstration. If you want to try though, I'm happy to entertain a pull request for the PEP. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
