Sounds to me like the fix is legit, and the bug it uncovered was a real bug and should have been caught. There really is no justification to consider it a feature -- the PEP is clear on that. So I think we should keep the fix. Sounds good to me.  Thanks for weighing in.

A bit late (since you already cut rc2), but the key point for me is that code that is fixed to work correctly on 2.6.6 (where this bug has been fixed) will still work on any 2.6.x release.

Cheers, Nick.
