I also tried del previously and it did produce the same error.

Just did that with great success! It now works fine on a MacBook Pro
and a PowerBook! Thanks a lot! Maybe you want to communicate your
fix to Danny Yoo so he can update his Python wrapper, too (which
should not be so different from yours)?
