(Nice to hear from you, Jeffrey.)

I've got a tangential response.

A small suggestion for future development:  The above error is raised
by PyArg_ParseTuple().  The format string you pass can optionally end
with ":function_name" when will produce a nicer error message, with
the name of the function in the exception where it just says
"function."

We ought to use it when we can -- when we're updating old code or
writing new code.
