A trio of patches that: 1. promoted simplegeneric from pkgutil to functools (with appropriate documentation and tests) 2. changed pkgutil to use functools.simplegeneric instead of its current internal version 3. updated pprint to be a generic function (and hence more easily extensible via the ABC mechanism, while still keeping it's current special cases as necessary)
would certainly be an interesting thing to see (with patch 3 being the poster child for why patch 1 is a good idea). I'll see what I can do. I can't promise much for (3) as I don't personally have a need for it, so my understanding of the use cases is limited at best. But (1) and (2) should be possible. Can I assign the patches to you (for review, at least)? Sure - I've had plenty to do with functools in the past, and will no doubt have plenty to do with it in the future.

A single patch covering (1) and (2).
Paul.
