Looks like very good work, thanks for the data.

But please note that I'm reading this via email, not google groups.  If 
you'd care to look above, you'll observe the double line spacing that 
gets inserted into everything that we see from gg, unless you read and 
action this https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython  If you'd be 
kind enough to do this it would be greatly appreciated by many people 
here.  TIA.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
