Web API returns wrong value for user privacy ("CommunityVisibilityState")
When the API is asked for the user's profile visibility setting, some "Public" and "Friends Only" profiles return "Friends of Friends". Mine is a good example:
>>> me = user.SteamUser(76561197996416028)
>>> me.privacy
3 # = FRIENDS_OF_FRIENDS. should be 5, which is PUBLIC
This is a known issue with the API. It can only be fixed server-side.
