I've tested it again and it does behave in a "standard" manner. 
I must have imported all as you suspected. Makes me much 
happier, though I do feel sheepish. As they say, sh... happens.
BTW, I did modify the euclid very slightly to work with Python 3 
- just change the syntax of messages with exception in line with 
syntax changes.
Thanks for sharing your experience with that cute package!
