Evaluating "super-save-exclude" doesn't seem to work

Issue

I have the following to prevent super-save from working on Python files:

(setq super-save-exclude '(".py"))

But it does not work, super-save remain active. In fact, super-save seems to remain active in all modes, in all circumstances, even after I hit M-x super-save-mode. Altering super-save-duration requires a full reboot (I use emacsclient).

This is my use-package declaration for super-save:

(use-package super-save
  :defer nil
  :ensure t
  :config

  (setq auto-save-default nil
        auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" "~/.emacs.d/var/temp" t))
        auto-save-interval 300
        auto-save-timeout 30
        auto-save-visited-mode t
        super-save-exclude '(".py")
        super-save-auto-save-when-idle t
        super-save-idle-duration 1
