Yes, memoryslots.c is core functionality, and I was just going to have to fake it if the compiled file needed more than just being dropped into Site Packages. > But all is not lost.

It's all pure Python -- I checked this time! -- so you shouldn't have any trouble installing it. In fact it's just a single source file, namedlist.py. Put that in your site-packages folder and you should be good to go. -- Greg Thanks Greg! I just ran into another wall, unsolvable by any methods I've come up with yet, so I'm trying to unroll the namedtuples into a list of lists, and that turns out to be trickier than you'd think too. I'll give namedlist a try, seems the PyPi people have seen that hole in namedtuples' functionality and have worked on some alternatives. Spectacular!
