Perhaps I missed a py3k assumption in this thread (where I see in the PEP that "Remove distinction between int and long types" is core item number one)? http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0237.html -- an ungoing process, not a Py3K-eventual one. Thanks, I noticed. Hence my question following what you quote: """ Is PEP 237 phase C to be implemented sooner than py3k, making isinstance(, int) a transparently distinction-hiding alias for isinstance(, integer), or outright illegal? IOW, will isinstance(, int) be guaranteed to be a bug, thus requiring code change? If so, when? """ Sorry that my paragraph-packing habit tends to bury things. I'll have to work on that ;-/
