Thanks a lot, that works.

For my better understanding, the doc page at http://www.bakefile.org/doc/ch08.html reads as if only the Python functions listed there can be called by Bakefile ... I guess this actually is not true, but in fact any core function of the Python language can be called, the listed functions only being additional convenience functions, correct?
