This feature is targeted for Python 3.2, solving the problem for those and all future versions.  It may be back-ported to Python 2.7.

Is there time given that 2.7b1 was released? I think this would be totally up to Benjamin as the RM for 2.7.  Although I haven't tried yet, my sense of it is that most of the patch would port pretty easily to trunk.  I could probably generate a patch for review by mid-next week.

I would prefer that this not be in 2.7. The patch may be simple to port, but it represents quite a change in an eons old Python behvior.

Whether it should or not is a different matter.  Given that we're in beta, I'm not sure I would approve it if I were the RM, but as the developer, sure, I'd love to back port it. :)

Thank you for sympathizing. :)
