Was there a lingering .pyc file? The following transcript is from
Linux but still illustrative of the probable cause.

$ echo 'print("Oops!")' > random.py
$ ls random.*
random.py
$ python -c "import random"
Oops!
$ ls random.*
random.py  random.pyc
$ rm random.py
$ python -c "import random"
Oops!
$ rm random.pyc
$ python -c "import random"

Unfortunately the attachment doesn't seem to have made it through.
Also, many of the subscribers here read this mailing list as a Usenet
group and wouldn't be able to see the attachment anyway. Please copy
