Please also recall that transform/untransform was discussed before the release of Python 3.0 and was approved at the time, but it just did not get implemented before the 3.0 release.

Can you provide a link? My search for transform on python-dev came out with

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-June/100564.html

where you seem to oppose these methods. Also, new methods to builtins fall under the language moratorium (but can be approved on a case-by-case basis):

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3003/#case-by-case-exemptions

Is there an effort to document these exceptions? I expected such approvals to be added to PEP 3003, but apparently this was not the case.
