Hey Eric,

I've also been looking at some Python 2 things on core-updates today,
trying to get the linkchecker package building again.

I've just pushed a slightly different patch, but to this effect to
core-updates, and only just seen this message, sorry about that.

Thanks for looking at it though, this approach is probably neater, as I
used substitute* instead.

Chris
