Note that this patch breaks compiling.

Yes.  Fixing 1073 would take a skilled python programmer about 2
minutes.  For a competent (but not skilled) python programmer like
me, it would be about 5 minutes.

If somebody doesn't have any experience with python whatsoever,
I'll admit that it'd probably be 2-5 hours.
