Bad timing, indeed :-). I have 4.7.3 planned for mid-september. With
Python 3.0 support, I hope :)

Good catch. Thanks.

The patch is good enough. I've applied it by hand, since 4.7.2 code has
changed a lot. Please in the future, *if you can*, try to send a
separate patch for each issue.

Your contribution is merged in my SVN, revision 558. It will be
available in 4.7.3. Can you review it?.

Thanks a lot for your efford.
