Yay!

Yeah, and I've found that presenting the results as "line of code *not*
covered" motivates me to find ways to exercise those lines, especially once
there aren't very many such lines left. It becomes glaringly obvious that
error conditions are hard to trigger when the code coverage results show red
lines inside all the "except:" blocks :).

Correct. I think it's using the stdlib AST parser module to decide what
counts as source and what doesn't. Incidentally, there's a lingering bug in
this determination, #109, which messes up the way that
allmydata.util.version_class is measured.
