I'm very glad that you take the time to make improvements.

At this moment i'm not so concerned about Python 3.x support.  It's not
backwards compatible with 2.x and, as far as I know, it's impossible to
write a Python script that runs on both 2.x and 3.x.  I rather stick
with Python 2.x for a while, since every system should have that
version.  Aap is actually compatible with Python 1.5x to maximize the
number of systems it runs on.

What is the advantage of using "in" instead of "has_key()?
