Ping?  Is the above the best fix for the breakage?

If it weren't __init__, I'd silently squash it in, but the filename
feels a bit more magic than the ordinary *.py files, so I was worried
there may be some other rules involved what can and cannot go in to
such a file, hence I've been waiting for an ack or alternatives.

Thanks.
