Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept your contribution by verifying you have signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Unfortunately our records indicate you have not signed the CLA. For legal reasons we need you to sign this before we can look at your contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

Thanks again to your contribution and we look forward to looking at it!

Signed CLA.

Advice appreciated on what to do with NEWS?
Seems like a minor change. Ideally would get picked to 2.7

I think this qualifies for NEWS.

There is a CLA issue with this PR as @bradn123 is the author of the change and they have not signed the CLA due to not having a bugs.python.org account. If they can sign the CLA then we can let this PR in, otherwise we will need to close it for legal reasons.

Ah, done with my other account, but no worries, it looks like someone else has fixed this:

Closing.
