As always, be careful with doing peephole changes to the standard library -- historically, we've seen a 1-5% error rate in these change sets that persists for months or years afterwards. FWIW, Walter and I did a bunch of these for Py2.3 and had excellent success because of a good process.

If you're willing to review the patch, I'm going to give it a try.

Bye, Walter Dörwald
