Hi All-- This little gotcha ought to be number one on "The Official List of Pythonic Gotchas," which should be required reading for everyone.
What? There isn't one? Why not? Send me your tired, your poor, your huddled gotchas yearning to breathe free. I'll whup 'em into shape and make a doc page. The gods of documentation (as opposed to the gods _in_ documentation) can transfer it to the Official Documentation Homeland, or not, as they see fit.
