[Raymond Hettinger on treelist being added to the collections module]

In practice, the code for BList is somewhat complex, and its desirability and performance in actual applications is unproven. Fortunately, Py2.6 is still a long way off. My recommendation is that you release it right away as a third-party module and let the hordes of Pythonistas test it in battle. With the code base thoroughly exercised and some positive user feedback, it would be hard to say no to this going into Py2.6.

[Daniel Stutzbach]

Will do.

I look forward to the announcement.

Raymond
