Is there any point? Even if accepted, it's too late to make it into 3.1, and with the overwhelming approval for a moratorium on changes to built-ins, it is likely to just sit in the tracker, forgotten, until 2013 or later. How likely is it that the patch will still be applicable?

+1 on throwing it away completely even if it's a good idea. I suggest Willi go invent a new language (and hope for it to become popular :-) if he wants to experiment.

Careful folks - these kinds of throwaway comments may be clearly tongue in cheek for anyone following the moratorium discussion on python-ideas, but will be justifiably confusing to anyone else, especially newcomers.

Willi - Oleg is right that patches should go on the issue tracker. They tend to get lost if they only exist on the mailing list.

Cheers, Nick.
