Michael:

I'm curious why you did import copyreg as copyreg. Is it because you don't want clutter when doing 'from os import *'?

Well, just to empasize the "this is here for obscure internal purposes only" effect.

Would it be better to do:

import copyreg # use copyreg del copyreg ?

Maybe. Don't care much either way.

Cheers, M.
