@Larry - that would be an acceptable solution! I'm here because I encountered this error independently. I explain why the arrow is a problem here: https://bugs.python.org/issue35367 The issue is that the '->' notation is already used by the standard operating system utilities in this context, so for Python overload this semantically in this case is the source of all the confusion. It would avoid the scare that we've all encountered if it just said 'src'/'dst' rather than '->'. Thanks! R
