Hi Sean,

Sorry for straying away from the original poster's question, but do you
know why apply() is being deprecated?  This is new to me!  ... ok, I see
some discussion on it:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-October/025450.html


And I now see the reference to it in the "Code Migration and
Modernization" PEP 290:

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0290.html#replace-apply-with-a-direct-function-call


Wow, this is somewhat of a shock to me, that the syntactic sugar approach
is the preferred approach to "apply" in Python.  Ok, thanks for letting me
know.
