What do you guys think? -1. There is no evidence that these types are missing. The fact that they are absent does not apply that anybody would want to use them if they were available. It might be better to develop such a module as a separate package, wait for user feedback, and perhaps incorporate this into Python in a few years.

While I second your -1, the kjbuckets package has been around for ages and seems to provide at least a subset (or superset depending on how you see it) of what Raymond wants to do.

I think these things are better kept and maintained outside the Python core.
