By the by, I don't think it's true that sets.Set(42) would, under PEP276, be the usual implementation of 42 in set theory. It would be a set whose elements are ordinary Python integers, which are not themselves sets. If you see what I mean. :-)

And that's what confused me most of all about Andy's assertion.
