I've tested it again and it does behave in a "standard" manner.  
I must have imported all as you suspected. Makes me much 
happier, though I do feel sheepish.  As they say, sh... happens.

BTW, I did modify the euclid very slightly to work with Python 3 
- just change the syntax of messages with exception in line with 
syntax changes.

Thanks for sharing your experience with that cute package!
