Alright my mistake, I finally went past the release notes and read the new docs
for plpythonu. I see the changes. I do not agree with them, but I should have
paid more attention in the dev process. The value is being returned to the
database and should play by the database rules or at least be flagged. I will
make the necessary changes on my end.
